Shopping For Improvement

Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Ms. Sophie Marx arrived at Tyrone's Grocery five minutes after noon. Mrs. Myrtle Standich has long held that the only reason Ms. Sophie Marx is still single is that she repeatedly refuses to change her last name, leaving everyone to assume she is a communist. Mrs. Myrtle Standich needed pumpernickel bread to make cucumber sandwiches for an after-dinner gathering the following evening. Ms. Sophie Marx needed an entire grocery list, as she had not been shopping for at least two and a half weeks.

The pumpernickel was found within ten minutes. And, with assistance from a kindly employee, Mr. Skip Mitchell, Mrs. Myrtle Standich now had the pumpernickel in her basket. The grocery list of Ms. Sophie Marx proved to be tedious. Conversation was kept to a minimum, as both Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Ms. Sophie Marx would like to have left as soon as possible. Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Ms. Sophie Marx came to the realization that the aisles were not marked properly.

This conclusion came to them in the cereal aisle. Ms. Sophie Marx recalled that not two aisles earlier she had passed Brillo pads and dish soap. Mrs. Myrtle Standich remarked that even in the cereal aisle there were major issues undealt with. She noted that not only were there cereal and cereal bars, but also raisins, peanut butter, mustard, and ketchup. The two immediately agreed that raisins, peanut butter, mustard, and ketchup did not belong in the same aisle as cereal and cereal bars. And Brilo pads and dish soap should remain at least five aisles away from any sort of edible products.

Furthermore, Ms. Sophie Marx added that aisles should be organized according to the meal. Mrs. Myrtle Standich adamantly agreed. Breakfast should be aisle one. Brunch, aisle two. Lunch, aisle three. Dinner, aisle four. Dessert, asile five. Snacks, aisle six. This would make for an easier, more pleasant shopping experience. Not to mention that it would just make more sense. Ms. Sophie Marx and Mrs. Myrtle Standich brought the matter to the attention of the owner of the establishment, Mr. Henry Tryone III, who directed them to the comment box and asked them to write a comment and thanked them for their concern in making the store a better place. Ms. Sophie Marx and Mrs. Myrtle Standich both left and a comment and, in a further step, vowed to add the improvements into their nightly prayers to the almighty.
