A few months ago the owners of the supermarket near my house decided to remodel.
For a long time we had to shop with parts of the building closet with cartons
Noone knew where things were. And everyone told us, costumers to just wait until the remodeling was finished.
The remodeling ended. And not a single employee, not even the girls at information center, know where things are
The only thing that I can visualise when I enter is a big part of it dedicated to sodas, wine and all sorts of liquor. Then there are shelves and shelves with expensive food.
The plants part is not there anymore. And the amount of imported fruit and veggies is incredible (and so are the prices).
Considering that we are a country that produces fruit and veggies the year around, I find it irritating that I see avocados from Mexico and watermelon from the US.
I suppose that I´ll have to go to the farmer´s market even though now I don´t go to the hospital nearby as many times as before.

We get a lot of fruits and vegetables from other countries. Makes me wonder why when we have plenty of places that grow produce year round. Guess we are becoming over populated. Maybe. Who knows really.

@ElusiveButterfly We have a very big farmers market in my city. It is about 2 square blocks and there are all kinds of things, including meat, cheeses and eggs. It used to be the biggest place to buy, way before the supermarkets started.

Supermarket and other places such as those are alwaysd changing. The idea behind it is to earn more.

It's very frustrating when you can't locate items quickly in the store. Our grocery remodeled last year and it was a mess. When the remodel was completed everything was moved around and the store has no sense of organization to it.

They don´t. Nor even the employees know where things are now.
