Super Market Amenities

The Courtesy Counter isn’t the only place in a supermarket to offer amenities. In fact, every department in the store is there to help you, just for the asking, if you want to use it, and you should. It’s for you. Getting to know “vendors”, in this case the supermarket personnel should not be limited to farm markets and neighborhood grocery stores.

Their advice can be invaluable, and if they get to know your preferences, they will let you phone in an order and have it ready for a later pick-up. A big time saver for the busy person.

Butchers are fonts of information. They’re required to know their field and are the “go to” people, whether it’s a question about a piece of meat, a certain cut or an alternate choice, for whatever reason, taste, tenderness, nutritious or economic They can advise on cooking methods too. They know the status of the supplies coming in and can advise you to buy one thing now, or wait for another later. Since,  as their name implies, they also butcher, they can cut meat to your personal specifications. If a butcher gets to know your preferences as a regular customer, he, or she, can inform you when a delivery arrives containing something you like.
