With the trend towards mega-stores and even larger combinations, such as hyper-stores, it is easy for the customer to be distanced from management by sheer size of the operation or the speed of turnover. It is thus so refreshing to discover stores that still retain the friendliness of the proverbial "village shop".
In a small-town post office, I noted a whole wall of historic sweet jars filled with an amazing variety of tasty morsels. On enquiry, I discovered, to my delight, that I could choose any combination I fancied they would be weighed out individually. Of course, I was like a youngster in a toyshop. Such "mini moments of adventure" enrich the day even the week!!
If you are in that area, call in and find out about the warm welcome.
