Today I was released from rehearsal at 1pm and managed to escape from my other rehearsal which left me with the entire afternoon/ evening off.
So what exciting adventure did I embark on? What titillating experience did I choose to fill my scarce free time hours?
Fairways Grocery Store.
Fairways is a large grocery store about 10 blocks or so north of my apartment right on the water. It is popular and notable due to its low prices, reasonable delivery fees, large free parking lot and the fact that it is a crazy crazy place.
For real- a crazy grocery store. Google it and read the reviews. Go ahead. I'll wait.
This grocery store doesn't really do sections, apparently it prefers not to be tied down by sorting or sectioning foods in any noticeable way. At Fairway cleaning products should and do go next to the frozen pizzas, and cereal should be segmented throughout the store not just placed in one aisle. At Fairway they see no reason why chips, dips and most of the fruit should not be placed outside in the foyer even though once you walk into the store to get a basket you cannot then go back out to pick up any of these products. And craziness incarnate- they have refrigerated half the store and placed all the cold products; meat, cheese, milk, beer inside this area. They even offer jackets to wear when entering... The Cold Zone.
But it is bright and warm and the staff are pretty friendly and the view while waiting for the checkouts is amazing.
Ryan and I just might like crazy. I mean, we are pretty wild and crazy ourselves.
Onward and Upward.

The whole buy-it-or-kiss-it-goodbye food in the foyer is a mystery. If it's always the same food, repeat customers are rewarded, I guess -- they know that's where they have to pick it up.
Of course, if you go out + back in for something in the foyer, you may pick up something else in the store. Suppose that's the reasoning?
Ryan has been to the store twice and says that both times it has been fruit and chips/ dips so perhaps they at least try to give you some consistancy.
Are you having fun home alone? or back to eating cereal and tomatoes?
Dave left me some yummy meals (even so, I splurged on frozen pizza + stuffed jalapenos last night - don't tell!)
Off to heat up lunch...
