The cashier barking at you, the people behind you in line giving you the evil eye, the people in front of you who are taking up all the space...argh! Back home I could spend hours in Publix/WholeFoods/Wegmans, grocery shopping is actually fun. Sigh.

You HAVE to because the checker is hurling the next person's groceries even as you're still bagging yours. If you don't sort your eggs are, well, you know. <BR/><BR/>I always avoid Costco until I'm settled back in stateside, it's just too much to deal with right away...<BR/><BR/>Reading you via "In Paris Now" and enjoying it very muchPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687353728139867213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18461682.post-1158635619432533162006-09-19T05:13:00.000+02:002006-09-19T05:13:00.000+02:00I thought I was the only one who did the conveyor ...I thought I was the only one who did the conveyor belt organization!The Franco Fille (francophile)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15578464003695065831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18461682.post-1158619769638755052006-09-19T00:49:00.000+02:002006-09-19T00:49:00.000+02:00Leave in Chicago, home city Athens, Greece.

I miss each city a lot when I’m in the other. I think its a privilege that I can experience that... thank for doing the same with USA (city?)-Paris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18461682.post-1158520454441005762006-09-17T21:14:00.000+02:002006-09-17T21:14:00.000+02:00"categorize the stuff as I place it on the belt"wo..."categorize the stuff as I place it on the belt"<BR/>wow, that makes so much sense that I can't believe I didn't think of it before.
