The local supermarket has recently undergone a huge remodel and the atmosphere there has totally changed. The employees must have had to go through some sort of ‘friendliness training’ too- they are so perky and helpful. But I think they are trying to turn your shopping experience into an event (for me it actually is). As we bee-bopped from one tasty sample to another (highchair on wheels, Cael frantically signing "moremoremore") we came across an author signing his book in the ‘book department’. He looked so out of place at his folding table in his folding chair, surrounded by copies of his work- between the canned tomatoes and the bulk jelly beans. I bet he was replaying in his head the conversation with his agent; “Top Foods in Sno-what? Are you sure?”
