Over the Top

Whatever happened to the corner grocery store? Today we made a trip to Wegmans where scores of people roamed throughout the store-- most with heavy duty carts-- ready to haul away everything. Everything is over the top. Aisles and aisles of food.

I found the size of the store , 185,000 square feet, overwhelming, confusing, and intimidating. Perhaps I was struck by the disconnect between the amount of food and the numbers of people who barely have enough money to buy food.

Which brought to mind those folks who argue against raising the minimum wage to a decent level.
