supermarket night

ShopRite parking lot so packed tonight Gina & I went over to Pathmark. We concluded it was a combination of Thanksgiving & Jewish shopping night a day early. Pathmark was not crowded. Pathmark is also,I think, going away store by store.  Lousy sales, rude cashiers.  The one here is trying to attract the Hispanic & the food stamp shopper. But this city has a half-dozen supermarkets aimed at Hispanics, all send out weekly flyers, & if you can get to Pathmark, you can go to ShopRite 1/4 mile up the same street & get more value for your Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program debit card.

Comments:
Could not agree with you more about Pathmark. The one here in Lake Hopatcong has gone way down hill. It's dirty, the produce is horrid, and the help not friendly. I go there for the convenience when I need something quick. I do my main shopping at Shop-Rite as well. It's a shame about Pathmark though, I had high hopes after the Great Atlantic and Pacific Company bought them.
 
Parhmark was my preferred market for a long time. But it's corporate. ShopRites are some other arrangement with owners. Mine has many store specials & also caters to a large Orthodox clientele, has kosher meat & fish counter separate from the deli.
