I shopped at this place for the second time the other day; Sunday, November Second. I had been in the place over a year ago when I first moved to the area, though I was just there to look around. It is about a mile and a half from my place, but there is another major chain supermarket less than a mile from my place so I have been going there for 99% of my stuff, the other 1% I normally get at the Fiesta Mart down the other way. When I looked around the other day, I was very impressed.

Yes, I was one of the very few white people in a very crowded store. I not only did not feel uncomfortable I was actually treated with respect by a young black boy who smiled, called me sir and allowed me to cut in front of him with my cart.

The prices were very good, much cheaper than where I had been shopping. Their produce was fantastic, they even had good looking fresh okra in November. The same brand of frozen Crawdads I like was two bucks cheaper there. I think you can see I was shopping for Gumbo ingredients.

The cashier was wearing a mask, and also spoke broken English, so when the manager was requested via loud speaker, I assumed it was to void the transaction, so I could run to my car to get my phone, to unlock my card.

But no, thats not what she was doing. The selfless cashier asked for permission to pay for my item. She then pulled out a wadded up $10.00 bill and paid for my child’s medicine, no hesitation. I’ve gone back several times to try and pay her back and thank her again, but since she was wearing a mask, I can’t identify her. I’ve asked other employees if they might remember the incident, but to no avail. So I want to sincerely thank the staff at this location regardless. They are always so friendly and helpful no...
