kaleb777	old	posted 1-Mar-2003 11:41am     Brightblue - Nitpicks and needs works comments are supposed to be constructive. This is qualification. If you have nothing decent to add, save the wisecracks for your comments after the survey is released. You're abusing the system doing what you are doing. You also assume I won't be voting for the second to last option, which I also wrote.
Iseult	old	posted 1-Mar-2003 9:24am     LOL, what BrightBlue said.
BrightBlue	old	posted 1-Mar-2003 4:30am     You should also add, "People who, rather than finding a better place to shop, choose to whine about all the problems with grocery stores."

pterodactyl	old	posted 28-Feb-2003 6:26pm     Although, I'd really like the "garbage in the shopping carts" idea to be extended to dirty shopping carts as well -- the ones with coats of goo or spilled sticky drinks or juice from cut produce.
