There is no denying that I am card carrying lazy. Or maybe I am just efficient. Yeh, that sounds better. But, I do hate to drive very far for necessities — like food.
When my lazy inclinations are met by a local Super Market — Town and Country Country-Mart in Mansfield, wi
th extra nice service, more than sufficient choices and did I mention extra nice service, well, then I win twice.
Today, for example, in the produce department, GRAPES were on special. Grapes are always special, but when the price is low, they really catch my eye. However, some slip-up in the computer to scanner had a widely different number and price. The friendly check-out lady who has OVER-plenty to remember, caught the difference and took steps to get it fixed. She called the produce department to check and before she could finish the transaction, the produce department CORRECTED the number/price issue. That made more work for the staff at the checkout where they were trying to give me a refund. But, because they watch out for customers, it was all fixed up pretty quick.
Recently, the Town and Country store in Hartville, MO burned, leaving folks there in a real bind for a local place to shop. Like in a total bind with NO place to shop. Town and Country is rebuilding, but while that is being accomplished, staff from the Hartville store are employed at other stores. Even better, a shuttle bus runs between Mansfield and Hartville or between Mountain Grove and Hartville. Folks can ride free to get to a super market and purchases food necessities and all the other stuff that we can’t live without. The bus doesn’t run every day, but regularly so people can plan their trips, make a list (and thereby save money by actually spending less at Town and Country).
If my lazy card expires, I want to maintain enough wisdom to keep shopping at my local store where the staff is friendly, efficient and considerate!
