What the hell was I thinking

going to a French grocery store on a Saturday morning!!!


See, with people working during the week and stores being closed for at least 2 hours at lunch every day, Saturdays are the only days the majority of the people can go to the grocery store (they're closed Sundays).  It's like a mad house, people all over the place pushing with their carts, bumping into you, etc.

Oh, and a special thanks to the grocery stores for only letting their employees stock the shelves on Saturdays - so with all the people you also have about a pallet (or two) on most isles as an extra fun obstacle.  Makes sense to me...stock shelves on the most crowded day in the store...of course!
