"The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard."
@Bearhouse also in markets, the most communal of places. Certainly we've built more relationships with market sellers than we have the constantly rotated (and exhausted and overworked) shift workers on the checkouts at supermarkets.
@gr0k Agreed!
