It would be great to look forward to food shopping with a new sense of fun and excitement each week. If I had a supermarket that was so unique that I looked forward to what is now a chore I would be incredibly loyal to that store, and also tell all my firends about it.

It sounds like great business to me. Not easy to make grocery shopping new, fun, and exciting, but the fact that the new owners want to try and give that as thier image I think would be a good sign.

- I love shopping. I am always trying new foods and I love the free samples. >.>;

- I was amazed at the crazy idea they have of bringing back customer service too! It does sound like the new owners will try to bring the store I shop in back up to a good standard. :)

- I miss customer service. We were in a store today and asked if they carry tofu. The woman actually CURLED HER LIP and said "Pssh, no." I told her she didn't have to be such a bitch and walked out.

- Cheers for that one! I think service is highly lacking. I used to work in retail and all it took was to listen and be friendly to customers and they would be happy. Being surly never helped anyone. :)

- Me too. I worked at Wal-Mart and I was ALWAYS polite to customers. Same as when I worked for a cafe. It's the decent thing to do. THEY pay YOUR salary.

It's amazing what words money can buy. Public relations should be murdered.

The only excitement in grocery shopping would be free food.

How would this happen?

An in-store lottery game called "Free Food Lotto".

Each state would have to sanction this game.

Upon entering the store, each shopper would buy an "FFL" ticket for $1.00. load your groceries during the one hour wait. the store is loaded with customers, hoping to win a free cart of food. drawings held each hour.

Three numbers are involved only of the customers choosing. each store has a small bingo machine, which will produce the winning number. no combination of numbers, just straight three numbers out of the machine. multiple winners will split the total prize for groceries of $150.00. one winner takes all in food. everyone prospers, the store, the state, the customer.

This is just an idea, but new ideas do have to have a starting place.

Remember folks, you heard it here on AB FIRST!!!

- I like your idea John :)

I enter a euphoric state when I pass by the cheeses. Improvement is impossible.

- I generally don't mind food shopping as I work in the food industry and am always finding something interesting, but I cannot see how it could be exciting. I guess I need to up my level of easiness of excitement! :) cheers
