This is the grocery store that my fiancé frequents in his city. And when he got here in our city three months ago, he couldn’t help but compare our supermarket here to his. Ours, he said, is so much bigger and he was amazed at the abundance of fresh seafood. They do have fresh seafood where he lives, but since he’s located 500 miles from the coast, when it’s shipped in it’s at least one day, not exactly fresh fresh. Since our city is near the ocean, it’s a given that our seafood selection is freshly caught and brought directly to market, and it is one of the jobs here that many people make their living at, doing it with pride, a link to our cultural history. He actually took photos of the fresh seafood that he saw at our supermarket out of fascination so he could share it with his friends and family. I will share those photos here soon.

The last time my fiancé shopped he noticed something at the grocery store that he’d never seen before: armed security guards. That was quite puzzling to my fiancé since they’d never been there before. He hasn’t heard any news of an increase in robberies. Maybe it’s nothing other than being prepared for anything that might happen. As what my fiancé said, with the economy that they have now, some people might resort to trying to get easy money, or just shoplift, trying to put food on the table for their family, which is sad. But the grocery store’s just doing what’s best, getting security, and he did wonder where they hired this service because they weren’t the usual ones he’s seen in his area. But wherever they came from, he said there were very professional looking and appeared to be very prepared for any situation that may arise. That makes me feel better knowing that when I get there with him all will be safe, even when we go to the grocery store.
