Guys,
Would you be mad if a random ass person who's not a regular wandered into your grocery store and then wandered out without buying anything except like m a y b e some chips or fruit?
Context:
So I just realized this supermarket that I've only gone in like maybe 8 times ever is actually a 14 minute walk from my house (it'll probably take longer because my legs are tiny and the wall is not entirely safe the whole time) (however, taking the bus, it would be 10 minutes. But idk how easy it is to cross the road to it)
Anyways, it's this nice sized Vietnamese food market. It used to be an international foods market when I was very young I think.
I've never been in there very long because usually when I would go with my mom we would go in, get exactly what we were looking for, and get out
Which is technically what you're supposed to do at a store I guess, but that bothers me because I like to wander in stores for a bit to see what they have and understand their layout for the next time I go back
And she's been there a couple more times than me.
BUT ALSO, I just wanna see what fruit and veggies they have -3-
And snacks and sauces too but mostly fruit and veggies.
Because there's some fruits I'm very curious about that just wouldn't be at American stores and maybe they're there? If not then I still get to KNOW what's there so next time I can truly shop around.

Also, apparently that is like THE closest place to shop for fresh food in "walking distance" near my house
There's another store that's pretty close to my house that has like...stocks akin to a like -3- dollar general (?) (can't think of another store) or gas station but it doesn't have fresh food. And one thing I like to do when I'm in different neighborhoods is see how close in walking distance it would be to buy groceries some place.
────────────
In my old neighborhood, they shut down like...almost all the places where you could get fresh produce and that's really disappointing because it was really close and *somewhat* easy to get to (If you had a wheelchair I think it would've been kinda hard to get into the stores)
But now that's gone and idk what a lot of ppl are gonna do about it. It was literally like a 7 minute walk from my house.
#TLDR:#I wanna be nosy#Also they're building a new walmart in a part of my city that was a food desert and I'm so happy for them#they had to drive pretty far to get fresh produce#when the 2020/2021 protests happened#it did turn to rioting around that area a couple times and shit got so bad food wise for them#I wanna add that theres not a lack of food in general in my area#if i walk to the street theres literally a restaurant right in front if mt street and then like 20 feet next to my street.#theres a shit ton of restaurants surrounding my house#i would never...like...STARVE or anything#and theres a walmart thats a 33 minute walk from my house (5 minute drive) (Still not an entire safe walk)#so people hypothetically wouldn't be EXTREMELY fucked like in other areas in the city#I wanna explore my neighborhood more tbh#i think its really interesting and odd that this restaurant opened up like super close to my house-#thats an asian restaurant (i wanna be very specific but im afraid to)#when this is like...THE most latin american area of my city tbh 😭#its so out of place its hilarious#IT'S REALLY GOOD THO#but expensive#and also I don't have friends to split the food with at all#well#like#its not EXPENSIVE EXPENSIVE#but its a bit higher priced.#rants#obliviousfantasy633
