*** I finally left in frustration as they had none. Or at least none that I could find.***

On Wednesday morning, I went to my MIL’s favorite grocery, and since I’m unfamiliar with the layout, I would ask the workers where something was. I was pleasantly surprised when they would take me directly to where I needed to be, and sometimes pointed to exactly the item I was looking for.

Most of the time, I agree, the workers have no idea themselves, and don’t bother to try to help. Every now and again, though, someone is up to the task, and is very helpful. Sometimes they look on their device, and can sort out whether or not they even offer the type of thing you’re looking for.

That sounds like Publix Supermarkets.

My wife sent me to shop with a list of items, one of which was “pine nuts.”
I had never heard of them and asked a store worker if he knew what they were.
He said yes. And then he said, “ Follow me. We keep them under the pine peckers.” We laughed uncontrollably .
