There's been a couple interesting things that I've noted at the grocery stores as of lately.
The Sam's Club type store that I go to get stuff at sometimes, just remodeled and created a International foods section. I got a kick out of this as it was divided into columns with one labeled Europe/Med one India one Middle Eastern and then there was an America/Mexico section. The very top row of this section is what I got a kick out of. Heinz Yellow Mustard, Heinz Ketchup, Tabasco Sauce, and Bullseye Barbecue Sauce. :-) Made me chuckle. What also made me chuckle is outside of these designated columns there were also general international food columns. On these you could see foods such as Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate Mix and Nature's Valley Granola Bars.
They have self-service checkout machines in the grocery store that's close to work and I've always gotten a kick out of the super helpful lady that is there usually right before I go to work. She smiles at me whenever she sees me coming and goes ahead and takes initiative to push the English button on the screen. The thing I find cool though is it sounds almost identical to the self-service checkout machines in WalMart.
Last when I was at the first mentioned store the other day, I only really went for two things. But the two things that I went for I needed to make another batch of tuna salad. Anyways, I'm sure it looked quite unique for someone to come into a Sam's type store and only buy two items. The girl checking me out seemed to find it humorous too that all I was getting was a can of pickles and brown mustard. Ahhh the stares and quizzical glances.
