 Posted: 01/27/06 - 07:14 Post subject: Grocery Store
Why do people say Grocery store? Shouldn't it just be grocery? Why would you say "store store?"
Anyway...I digress....
How many groceries do you pass on the way to your favorite one? I LOVE Trader Joe's but in order to get there I have to pass so many other really good groceries (Wegmans - which ROCKS, the Asian grocery, etc). Thankfully I have to drop Joshua off at a birthday party today and TJ's is just around the corner. 
Typically I go to either Safeway (the closest to me) or Wegmans. I have to go past 3 other groceries to get to Wegmans.

Oh, oh!!!! We have Giant here, too. People around here call it "THE Giant" (just like you did!).

You go to the grocery store to buy groceries! You don't go to the shoe to buy shoes do you?

You scare me. I was going to make the exact same analogy.
Sole (buh-dump) exception, I would go to Garry's, not Garry's Shoes, to buy my shoes. Ask for A. Bundy.

That wouldn't happen to be raspberry chipotle sauce would it?

Obviously you haven't been to a supermarket lately. Take a look around: videos, flowers, small appliances, some hardware.
Translation: Grocery stores are not just for groceries anymore
