after i went to the beach today i went to the rockaway stop & shop, which is exactly the same as giant only under a different name. i stayed in there for a long time because it smelled like the holidays and things come in family sizes and the floors are very shiny, and it was like wearing a sweater only grocery shopping. (i bought a half pound of salami and a quart of whole milk, ps.)
