There is a great grocery store at Puntas Carretas Shipping named, Disco. If you visit often you'll learn the times not to shop there.Wednesday evening is one of those times. Yesterday I was lucky enough to get a shopping cart, unusual for a Wednesday evening. I should have known better and gone at a different time, but I guess I am a slow learner.
However, I quickly abandoned my shopping cart as the produce department was packed with people and shopping carts.
It was going to be an exercise in frustration to push the cart around. I grabbed a few items and then put the ones that needed to be weighed back. For some reason, they seem to have a single person to weight produce on Wednesdays when they are packed.
I think it would have taken more time to get my apples weighed than to wait in line to pay. The store is large and nice to shop in when it isn't packed with people.
Now after leaving Disco, my next adventure was to actually leave the mall. I chose the main entrance. The main entrance has nice doors with lots of glass so you can see out. Except they often have decals covering the glass so you can't see much.
To everyone's surprise just outside the main entrance was some very fancy event that you needed tickets to enter and was being filmed by Montecarlo television. The problem this presented to those leaving the mall was that the exit was pretty much blocked.
Rather than going straight out you had to go to one side or the other. Not a big deal, except as soon as people opened the doors to exit they stopped cold.
It started to feel like the line to get out of the mall was going to longer than the cashier line at the grocery store!
No trackbacks.
