H.C.J.
Today I shopped at the Hot Chick Jewel. You may or may not know that different grocery stores have vastly different personalities. At least that's the case around here. Most people around here shop either at the Jewel or Dominicks. Each store, however, is not created equal.
We tend to shop more at Jewel; it seems a little cheaper. Our choices for Jewels are either the 1. Ghetto Jewel, 2. Hot Chick Jewel, or 3. New Jewel. The new Jewel is the farthest away, since we live closer to Ashland instead of Western. The Ghetto Jewel is the closest. It's earned its name from the totally annoying parking lot, the fact that it's always crowded, & that they are always out of the things you need. Yesterday, for example, they didn't even have size 2 Pampers. Oh, and you can't take your cart out to your car, which makes carrying your groceries & your baby nearly impossible.
Then there's the Hot Chick Jewel. It got its name from when Dev lived with Jake & Johnny... I think it had something to do with the Lincoln Park chicks that shop there. Anyhow, it's exactly 7 minutes past Ghetto Jewel and boy is it worth it. The produce department is vast, and they also have a lovely international food section. Today I was wowed by the fact that one of the produce workers actually took the time to help me find a product that was located in a different section! Crazy!
I did have a run in with a lady on her cell earpiece. I stepped out of the way to look through my coupons, making sure I was not in anyone's way. Well this lady decided she needed to get around me, and needed to cut right through where I was standing. Did I ever tell you how much I hate cell phones?
Oh, another rant about the Ghetto Jewel. I really love it when the cashier examines your purchase and makes comments on it. "Rich and Meaty? That's laaaaame." Shut up and ring me up! I would use those self-checkout lanes except for "Improper item in bagging area." Over and over again.
I really hate grocery shopping.
