about if grocery stores were boyfriends

I’m pretty sure it’s possible to have a crush on a grocery store. 

Today I popped into Wegman’s on my way home from work and kept thinking about how nice the place looked, and how sweet it was to be offering me fresh samples of organic apples, and how considerate to ask if they could carry my bags for me, and what a good time I had looking at the train above the milk section (THEY HAVE A TRAIN!), etc. etc.   I even got so flustered that I knocked a bottle of carbonated water on the ground and walked away quickly as it spun and sprayed everywhere. 

I know you aren’t a person, Wegman’s, but I think I’m in love.  Except maybe you should foot the bill next time? 

All this daydreaming about the Weg (pet name) had me thinking – you can DEFINIETLY equate grocery stores with boyfriends. 

Think about it. 

Food Lion is like that sketchy guy you maybe decide to see a few times, but it’s always sort of icky and disappointing and lacking what you really want.

Whole Foods is that raised-in-New-England-boarding-school type who’s never short of wine and cheese but makes you feel sort of inferior.

And Joe’s (Trader, that is) is always the perfect balance of quirk and fun – you’re guaranteed to feel wonderfully about all your choices. 

I could go all day on these analogies (just kidding, I can’t. that’s why I only listed three), but you get the picture. 

Here’s to serendipitously finding your supermarket soul mate!
