Ugh, those lights make me sick.
And is there anything more humiliating than rooting through one of those enormous bins of movies or whatever near the front of the store? You KNOW the one on the fucking banner at the base of the bin is in there somewhere, but everyone snatched up all the obvious ones on top of the heap, so you practically have to go shoulder-deep in search of what is likely the last remaining copy and OH MY GOD I JUST FELT SOMETHING WET UGH UGH FUCK YOU WAL MART
Hah, I'm already organising a photo session with my friends

That's what we call hypermarkets here, and the local Walmart is just a supermarket - that's why it looks like everything was crammed together in a small space

We're lucky to have Wegmans here. It's definitely the best supermarket in the history of grocery stores.
There's about 10 of them within 15 minutes of here, but their flagship store is about 10 minutes from my house, and it's incredible. Their meats, fish, and produce are absolutely phenomenal. You can also special order things pretty easily through them. It seems to mostly be in the Northeast/Mid Atlantic right now, but they're spreading all the time.
It's also consistently ranked in the top 10 companies to work for in the US.

That does look pretty awesome. Ours aren't that nice over here either, they look more like Marcus' picture.

Awesome, and it's even nicer to see Megan buying blueberries.
Edit: By the way, that's an awful lot of berries. Brasilia is the greatest producer of strawberry in Brazil, as I recall it, but I don't think I've ever had blueberries or raspberries. Or any other berry, for that matter

I'm not a huge blueberry fan, but raspberries are delicious. Cranberries are still my favorite though.

How can you go through life without having eaten berries? You're missing out! They're so delicious and healthy.

They're not common here.
I had cranberry juice for the first time ever in my life a couple of years ago, and drink it occasionally (i.e. once or twice a year). Raspberry? I don't think I know what it tastes like. I had to use Google to know what blueberries look like. Oh, wait, mulberry is quite common around here, I nearly forgot it existed. But that's it

I love mulberries! Growing up, I had a mulberry tree in our back yard.

We used to go pick fresh berries at the farm every summer as a family. I loved that experience...and of course all the delicious treats we'd have. Strawberry shortcake omnomnom.
