Lucky Super Market Lakeshore: A Study in Contrasts

I sometimes get to Lucky Supermarket at Lakeshore a minute or two before it opens.  The woman who opens it almost scowls when she comes to the door.  She doesn't make eye contact or even look my way.  Once, when I said "Good morning," she said "Good morning" back, but not today.  When I said, "Good morning," she just turned around and walked away.

In contract , another employee there is extremely friendly and helpful.  Two days ago she went out of her way to help me find two products.  One was No-Moo non-dairy ice cream, which I  needed because I'd eat a whole pint of it the previous day, celebrating how warm the weather was and how good the chocolate mint No-Moo was.  She made a real effort to find it.

I also asked her about pimenton de la vera, and she looked it up on her smart phone and helped me find the smoky Paprika after we figured out that was it!

Today she greeted me with a pint carton of No-Moo in her hand and told me there was a close-out sale.  "When I heard they were having a close-out sale, I said, 'That's the ice cream that woman was asking about the other day.'"

I told her how impressed I was.  "You're exemplary!" I said.

Then I headed to Aisle 12 and got 4 cartons.
