My plan was to simply add a few photos from my latest visit here. But I feel obligated to add a comment about an observation while checking out.
A supervisor was watching over and assisting an approximately 16-year-old clerk at our register. It was immediately apparent that the clerk was in training as the supervisor occasionally offered encouragement and instructions on the use of the register. As the clerk received the cash for our purchase, the supervisor printed the receipt, placed it for the clerk to see, and called attention to the amount on the receipt that would be the proper amount of cash to return to the customer for change. That amount was $2.61.
The clerk had no problem with removing two $1 bills and two quarters but began to hesitate as she retrieved a penny. As the clerk continued to gaze at the till, the supervisor pointed to the dimes and said something.
What struck me was, with plastic credit/debit cards taking over our lives, new generations are no longer dealing with cash and there is a lessened need for them to understand how to make change or recognize the different coin values. I was previously surprised when I had heard that cursive writing was no longer being taught in schools, and now I'm shocked to see our future leaders not knowing the value of coins.
All of that aside, the shopping experience was very good. Plenty of goods on the shelfs, well organized and a clean environment. But you still must decide for yourself if the value meets your needs. read more
