Dear Lucky on Fitzgerald, Thank You for Seeming Clean & Being Bright

Dear Lucky on Fitzgerald,

Thank you for seeming clean & being bright & mostly attractive on the inside. I'm actually hoping that you are clean. Seeming clean is almost as important as actually being clean, & goes a long way toward my shopping peace of mind. I'll keep shopping with you indefinitely, because the Safeway in Tara Hills always seems dirty & dingy to me. I end up wanting to wash my fruit twice & feeling like my shoes have been in San Francisco for the day.

I also really love some of your employees. The handsome sarcastic guy who sometimes runs the self-check out registers? He is awesome. And that guy who I believe is named Tim? He is my absolute favorite. He is probably the nicest person in Pinole when he is here. When he says "Have a good day," I actually believe that he wants me to have a good day.  And the redheaded lady who works in the floral department? I love her.  She is like a flower herself.

Of course, I do have some complaints. Of course I do. Here are a couple:

-What is with the shrinking Ben & Jerry's section in the freezer? And you don't have any Ben & Jerry's Fro Yo at all!!! Don't make me have to go to Safeway & feel like my shoes are dirty from walking on those perpetually dirty-looking floors to get some Fro Yo that has come from milk from cows that aren't fed hormones & such. Unless you want me to grow a third nipple for some reason.

-I'm not a huge fan of the way your butcher shop smells, either, particularly the fishmonger part. It makes me scared to buy the fish, you know?

But, on the whole, I am a fan. I'll be back in a few days for more Coke Zero, which you usually have on sale, which makes me so very happy.

Love,

Me.
