| - BIRDS.
That's all I have to say.
No, but seriously. It's a Marc's store. It's got this bizarre, haphazard layout where the aisles are too crowded and there is stuff piled in every nook and cranny of the store. They sell groceries, but I don't think too many people go there for the groceries (OK-- maybe some people do).
At this lovely Marc's, you will find the following things:
1. A giant scale near the Pharmacy where you can weigh yourself in front of everyone, if that's your thing.
2. A never-ending bin of random mis-printed pens that are like 20 for $1.
3. A weird merry-go-round thing on the ceiling that has like... one old pony and some other obscure object on it that really makes no sense at all.
4. Occasionally, free animal-shaped guest soaps that melt when they touch your hands (especially fun if you have kids. note: I only saw this once).
5. Birds in the back. No idea why they are there, but sometimes they yell and whistle at you.
6. Caricatures of Marc Glassman, the owner of Marc's
7. A food stand where you can get hot dogs, pizza bagels and Icees that are priced so low you actually become a little afraid to eat what you order. We're talking 50 cents for a bag of popcorn that is bigger than a theater-sized jumbo bucket.
8. Super, ultra brown bananas for a nickel (must sell today!)
9. Hearing aids at customer service. There is always a line of 95 year olds waiting for them.
10. Really long lines. Always. And someone always insists on writing a check for their groceries there, and then you have to wait like 15 minutes for someone to sign off on said check. Who the heck pays for groceries with checks? What year is this-- 1990?
