The new HyVee store opened today not far from us so we decided to see how bad the crowds were mid morning. We got a good parking place, the store was very busy but could still get around as long as families didn't spread out across the aisle. We got a few groceries, stuff on sale. Don picked out some elephant ears pastry from the bakery. Lots of employees around, some handing out samples, some directing traffic, etc. Just as we were about to check out they changed cashiers, the new one was having all sorts of problems - even signing in. He told us we were his first "real" costumers! We wished him well for the rest of the day and told him it will get better!
We took our stuff home as we had some ice cream and then went to Walmart. I guess they are dropping out of the grocery store competition as they had one check-out open which sported a long line and three self check-outs open with lines as well. One person couldn't wait and put her things down and left. They need to think about some costumer service!
We ate a home, had waffles. Waffles always seem like a cold weather meal but we had them anyway with eggs and bacon.
