My last blog had the phone ringing & e mail blasts....A good pal calls me & tells me this horror story...He shops the same Albertsons in Lake Oswego Oregon on a Sunday morning. He drove there with his Daughter. They were the only customers in the store & selected items they had on their list. The cart was about 1/4 filled. They go to the check out & begin pulling their goodies & laying them on the mini-tram so the clerk can ring them up. A pimple faced kid walks up to him & firmly says "This is for 5 items or less, move your stuff over here" (to next station)......He says "Wait a minute, NOBODY is in here!"The clerk is relentless with his mission to not ring them up at the quickie check out. They argue.....My pal explains to this moron that in the time they had words, all of his stuff could of been rung up! The clerk must of had water torture during his training to never bend the rules because he would NOT ring that sale. Just like your Stumptown Blogger...my pal will never step foot in any Albertsons. Years ago we had just a few choices, Fred Meyer, Safeway, Kienows, and yes the chain Joe Albertson built into a empire. Today we don't need any of these stores. Whole Foods, New Seasons, Market of Choice and yes that old haunt that is still kind of retro cool Wizers. Screw Albertsons.

Ah if only there was still a Piggly Wiggly in the neighborhood.
their produce often was marginal...sometimes tasted like fruit flavored wax
