| - Need to get some snacks and fresh produce for the Fam while on the road. It's kinda fun checking out regional grocery stores to compare what I'm missing back home and vice versa.
Eagle's Nest children activity center is interesting. I've never seen a child care facility at a grocery before. I guess an older child would rather kick it with the computer or other fun kiddie activities instead of traveling up and down the aisles. I'm pretty sure my mom would have used this service back in the day, instead of dealing with me hanging off the cart, pulling crap off the shelves that she wasn't gonna buy.
The strategically placed chicken pot pie signage got my attention, so I got one, along with some chicken strips. The good dude behind the counter assured me that the strips were good. He was right.
The hot food I picked up was derishus. Pot pie was hearty and flavorful. I'm bummed there's no bottom crust lining the pie tin, but the top crust was delightfully light and flaky. Chicken strips were quite good...seasoned coating and moist bird, not overcooked and dry or sitting way too long in the display case.
The gal at the checkout register. I don't know what to make of this one. Cranky, bad day, visit from Aunt Flow? I'm not from around these parts, so I don't carry a frequent shopper card. Other places either hook me up with the store discount anyways, or at least give me an opportunity to sign up. Not her. No store savings this time, pal. I wonder which card she pulled...the Pay Full Price card. Boo on her.
Despite Ms Meanie on my way out, the rest of the experience wasn't terrible.
