the shelves seemed to reach above 6 feet. They sectioned all of the aisles by number and most of the items are grouped together by where you would keep them in the house, except for two specific aisles which are named Taste of the World. These two aisles consisted of condiments and specific food from a variety of different countries. I could not help but ask myself why these items were not integrated into the rest of the aisles?

A wedding is a show of the bride anyway, so she was the center of everyone’s attention. When my sister began her walk down the aisle my wife preferred to look at the groom.
