The MT is full of sights and smells, and, thankfully,

That's just a couple blocks from our house, so I shop there pretty frequently. And I can tell you, the layout is very odd. I'm not sure what they have in mind, but if you spend an hour and go down every aisle, there are many products you will spot 3 or 4 or even more times. And not just individual products, but whole ranges of products.

Here's a coffee section. Here's a coffee and tea section. Here's an instant coffee and instant tea and other instant beverage section. Huge overlap in products between these sections. And then some things are off on their own.

At least of the ones I've interacted with, the younger people that work there speak better English than I do, though they are disaffected youths and might not bother much to help you if they don't feel like it.

I found you via the manifesto. :) I'm friending you rather randomly. If you want me to go away, please tell me and I will.

Random friending is always fine; that's how we make new friends in these days of the Internet!
