over one third of men would never help a woman struggling with a baby buggy on stairs

199. You can tell how nice a store is by how many carts are randomly strewn about the lot

My normal grocery store, lots of lazy customers that won't walk the extra 10 feet to put the cart in the corral. This Kroger has not been renovated like many other stores in the area. It's stuck in the 80s and there's fewer choices of certain items.

Kroger a few miles away, less carts in the lot - nicer store. Better bakery, more choices, etc.

Kroger, but maybe 15-20 min away from my house (and by my mom's house). This is the grocery store we shopped in while I was growing up, and where my mom still does a lot of shopping. Hardly ever a cart in the lot not in a corral. Completely renovated a few years ago. Very nice.

Actually my mom and I took off work at the same time last Tuesday to do our Thanksgiving shopping together and we went to the first Kroger listed. She's the one that mentioned less choices. She was looking for cut up bone-in chicken pieces to make broth. She ended it was thighs or this quartered leg pieces. That's it. Also noticed that the general meat/seafood area is much smaller.

Okay, lastly there's a Tom Thumb about 5 miles from my house that I shop at occasionally. They have a sushi department, awesome bakery, deli and even flowers. Excellent beer and wine selection. They have a Starbucks inside the store (not that I partake, I'm just saying). Overall, great store. It's rare that I notice a cart in the parking lot not in the corral. Rare.

I'm starting to shop more at the grocery stores farther from my house than the first mentioned Kroger, because I'm worried about my car getting hit with a cart.
