General Suburban Updates and Rumours

[dtkvictim]

And before Marché Leo's, did you never go in New City? They have fruits and veggies, meat, seafood, dried goods, frozen stuff. It is what was originally described by the term "supermarket".

Also, just because stores are not hypermarkets like a ginormous Zehrs doesn't mean they are specialty shops.

Hasty Market has baked goods, dried goods, fridge stuff, and a butcher, for example.

Also, why do you, like Ac3r, assume that the only way to do things is making multiple stops? I mean come on, I even described a rotating cycle in my comment.

I have been to New City a handful of times, years ago. Of course I could survive off it, but it's not my ideal place to be shopping... I also went to Central Fresh for quite a while, but deciding between the at least weekly 40 minute walk (half of it burdened with groceries, and no backpacks allowed!) or spending the money on transit and getting lucky with bus timing so that it's actually quicker than walking got old really fast.

As for the bolded part, I wasn't meaning to make assumptions about how you shop, though I clearly did. I was more so making a statement about how these shops work for me. Again, I shop at most of the places you have listed, and to me they are specialty shops in that I only pick up a couple specific items from each of them. If I don't make multiple stops in one trip, then I'm having to make daily trips just to meet my grocery needs. At that point it's easier and less time consuming to make a single larger trip to a supermarket.

I'm not sure why you always need to blame people for making the decisions that work best for them, or assume that people would make "better" decisions if they were just less ignorant, rather than listen to people to work towards a better system. It's unproductive.
