I'd just like to have a new pair of garden gloves like those given to me years ago that are now losing their glove form from years of use. There was an upscale garden supply store back then but I it's out of business now. Smith & ? maybe.

Love short ribs. At one time stores almost gave them away they were so low-priced. Not any more. Too expensive for me.

I tend to stay away from those prepared foods for several reasons: way too much salt; usually not tasty as their package photos show; usually overpriced for small weight of contents and there is often ingredients in them there I chose to not consume. I do occasionally buy Giant's prepared in-store deli salads and I especially love their broccoli salad but now even that has become pricey. I tend to make my own most of the time.

Thanks for the assurance that I wasn't over stating the situation. This store was okay for a long time --until they took shelve space away for the booze. It is terribly over crowded--I was in there around 12ish Friday and I know that can be a busy time of day for supermarkets but I never saw it so bad as I did on Friday. This is not my usual Giant to shop in but I hit it when I'm down at Eastern Market & Sam's so as to not have to run up to New Cumberland to my regular Giant after getting home. Also--the East York store still has a Member's 1st in it and that's very convenient. The newish Giant at Delco is an excellent store but when I need to grab just a few items that store is so big I try to avoid it. The Dover Giant is smaller but very nice, clean, well managed, and when I go home via Dover I stop there if necessary. I'm familiar with the situation on N. Duke St. I had a now-deceased friend who lived in the Yorktown and they were unhappy about the theft keeping stores away in the area.

I'm all for supermarkets in PA entering the 20 century by selling beer and wines in the stores. What I dislike about is the space once used for groceries is now being taken over by the booze products. In order to make sure all their products are available to customers stores are piling on--higher shelving, shelving in places it was never before, product displays in aisles already too crowded, creating even less room to move around with all the shopping carts, etc. A case in point is the Giant on East Market St. in Springetts. Township that I was in Friday. This is a store that really took a lot of shelf space away from grocery products for its booze stock. The store was so crowded I got only what I could, self-checked out and ran out. If there were only a few more people in that store when I was there it would seem so close to becoming a fire hazard, similar to an over-crowded theater. Some stores have made additions to their buildings in order to make room for all these new products consumer want from their stores while others may have too little to expand out. The Giant I was in on Friday reminded of what it must be like to grocery shop in a small, inner city grocery store with poor management.

I hear and read a lot about setting up retraining for these people in local community colleges but never hear of successes. I wonder how that's all going.
