I know, for people who want a bargain, there's no need to *feel* good while grocery shopping...but I swear it makes the food taste better when the people behind the counter act like chefs instead of grunt workers. I try not to be snobby or pretentious because I really appreciate the way the food is prepared, laid out, and displayed. While this isn't my local grocer, I come here often and it's nice to be able to get a decent meal here and it's still cheaper than eating at a restaurant. Plus I like to look through their kitchen gadget area...
