I haven't been in a "Super" in years. I have a "Neighborhood market" .9 miles from the house. Manager says it's a "model" store, one of the busiest in the country. If'n you go between 6:30 am and 8:30pm expect a crowd. I usually go around 9; nobody at the gas pumps where you can get killed over saving $.06/gal during the day. I make a short list of "gottagets" and keep an eye out for "surplus" (box Spring Mix, Coffee creamer and Dairy Whip that are always out). Day shift restocks before leaving so I'm in and out (self-check always) in half an hour. I really don't care about their politics, hiring practices and the fact no employee speaks English. "Getting it done" is the modern equivalent of "bushcraft." Joe
