Made a quick trip to the Price Chopper to get some salad makings for dinner. Boy, are American grocery stores intense.
In this giant warehouse of a shop there are 21 different kinds of Dole pre-packaged lettuce. Pickles have 7 six foot shelves. Mustard and ketchup each have 4 feet of shelf space times 7 shelves!
And ther were so many kinds of salad dressings—at least 15 feet plus an endcap display—that I gave up trying to choose one. I got olive oil and basalmic vineagr instead.
