Reasons why after one visit, I will stay away from Jay-C (supermarket in Columbus) (only Eric will understand this, but whatever]:
- When in Jay-C, don’t look for anything where you’d expect it to be. It’s actually where you’d least expect to find it.
- I’ve never seen a store that flat-out RAN OUT OF BANANAS.
- This is not NYC, and you cannot get away with charging $4.49 for a 15oz. box of Cheerios.
- On the eve of a snowstorm, more than two people are required to man the registers.
- Feel fortunate that your parking lot is the new “place” for kids to hang out on Tuesday night.
- Possibly because it’s so confusing, no one knows where they’re going, so they like to stand at the end of aisles (the entire family, not one person) and discuss where to go. For minutes on end. Without seeing people standing, waiting for them to move. (I don’t like saying “Excuse me”, because it feels like saying “sorry you’re retarded”.)
On a side note, Eric, what do you say we team up and offer a redesign of Columbus’ web site? It deserves better than this.
Matt…welcome home! You’re right about JayC’s, but I only go there a few times a year. But, it sure beats the crazy people at the Wal-Mart grocery store. I swear. There’s only so many “spatially-unaware” people I can stand. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to reroute my steps because these dumb grandma’s decide to perpendicular-park blocking the aisle. Drives me crazy. And regarding the city’s website, yeah, that’s a conversation I’ve already had with another fella I told you I collaborate with. The three of us ought to get together if there’s time. For the record, I’m out 24-28th but back through New Year’s. Speaking of which, if you don’t have any plans, you ought to come to our party! Talk to you more later since I’ve derailed from a genuine comment and am now talking like it’s a personal email. Oh well. Happy Eggnog!
