Tuesdays & Imaginary Cheeses

I went to the grocery store today for an ice cream sale – 2/$6 on some really good Prairie Farms ice cream. I ended up browsing the entire store. Here's what I saw near the deli: prepackaged blocks of Kojak cheese. Now, if memory serves me correctly, the cheese pronounced by that name would be a combination of colby cheese and monterrey jack cheese. This was marbled white and yellow cheeses as well. There is either one of two conclusions I can make. One is that the people working there are not altogether very bright (and I'm fine with that guess). The second - and I wonder if this isn't it - is that Kolby cheese is some kind of generic/fake cheese kind of like krab meat isn't really crab meat. I wouldn't be surprised by either, but this is a store that closed at 9 every night when I moved to town and now closes at SEVEN-THIRTY!!! You may have thought all-caps were enough, but this is pathetic enough that I actually typed out the whole words! I can't believe a grocery store can close this early. I didn't even get there until 7:05.

And so goes my rant for today.

That is absolutely ridiculous. I've NEVER heard of any grocery store closing at 7:30, not even in friggin' Greenville. I really didn't think things could get worse.

And that cheese thing is interesting. I like your theories.
