Market Basket

I know that grocery shopping to the normal person does not seem exciting but if you shop at Market Basket in Somerville, you are in for a real treat! So today after getting excited about the Pats playing tomorrow I decided to take a quick trip to the store. I always get really excited going to this store for some reason, I think because it is absolutely INSANE!! So I dragged my boyfriend Conor along so he could experience Market Basket for the first time. Well it took us at least a half an hour to find a parking spot, probably because the entire parking lot is a gridlock... it takes you at least 5 minutes to move like 200 feet! So after a crap load of beeping and hand waving and swearing, we get a spot. I asked Conor how he was feeling, he said he was stressed. I told him to wait until we got inside. Okay so we enter the store. Chaos. There must be like 1,000 people by the checkout lines. Okay maybe 500. Im wicked excited. I love this. We begin shopping. Everything is going okay at first, we are in the cheese section and I again get wicked excited, I love cheese. We then move on to other aisles. We cannot make it to the end of the aisle because there are so many people so we have to do a 360 with the cart. Conor is driving. I asked him how he was feeling, he said he was really stressed. We keep moving. Aisle after aisle we walk to the end then turn around. Who knows if there is anything at the ends of the aisles, we cant get to them. We are walking around by the frozen food section and we see a lady with a little kid lying underneath the cart. This wicked old man walks by and asks her if he was expensive. She says yes and keeps walking. Alrighty then, I start laughing, I love this. After a good hour and a half and like 10 things in our cart, Conor asks if we can go home yet. I asked him how he was feeling. He said he was about to cry. I just laugh, not because he was going to cry, but because the store was nuts! Finally we go to the check out line. Conor asked if I was kidding. The lines were now half way down the aisles. I told Conor it wouldnt take long. After another half an hour we finally pay. I pay with a gift certificate I got for Christmas, I am still wicked excited. FINALLY our shopping is complete!! I looked at Conor on our way out and asked him what he thought about is first time at Market Basket. He was still stressed. Our 2 and a half hour shopping trip is done! I dont think he will go back, but I cannot wait for my next trip to Market Basket! Im wicked excited, I love this!
