The “shopping with Mike” audio segment was hilarious. More of those, please! What a great break to laugh during the middle of the day. My vote for name change: $afeway bend over grocer$. Reminds me of 2 upstate NY grocers decades ago: Price Chopper was Purse Chopper, & Grand Union was Grand Theft.

Thanks LeeAnn. I might swap garden genocide talks for deep state grocery store talks. I like the intercom. We have some vulgar names for our three letter grocery stores, PCC and QFC. This is a family Substack. I’ll email it to you. Send me proof you’re over 18

Ha! I’ll see if I can find some proof; will you just take a random birth year, like Safeway? And I noticed you spoke about the hearing the live (albeit homeless) music; your wish was granted. Way different these days, huh?
