grocery stores

A grocery store is a store established primarily for the retailing of food. A grocer, the owner of a grocery store, stocks different kinds of foods from assorted places and cultures, and sells them to customers. Large grocery stores that stock products other than food, such as clothing or household items, are called supermarkets. Small grocery stores that mainly sell fruits and vegetables are known as produce markets (U.S) or greengrocers (Britain), and small grocery stores that predominantly sell snack foods and sandwiches are known as convenience stores or delicatessens.....

100% Q: What grocery stores or small businesses can a 14 year old apply at?
I've already submitted applications for Publix and Kroger, but I'd much rather work at a smaller grocery store/business. Could somebody give me a quick list of stores/businesses I could apply at, please? Also, can anyone confirm if Blockbuster would be able to hire at 14? Btw, I refuse to work at fast food restaurants, so none of those please. Thank you. :)
A:It depends on where you live. If you live in an area with a lot of Mom and Pop shops, I'd start there. It also depends on what your state child labor laws have to say. Some states won't allow teens to work a job until they are 15, but some it's 14. I wouldn't even consider fast food for you unless you want to know what it's like to break your back for almost no money. Check with some of the boutiques in your town that aren't corporately owned and something will turn up for you. Just don't let it get in the way of your studies. Good luck with the job hunt!

100% Q: Compared to regular grocery stores, what are the prices like at places like Whole foods market?
I want to start feeding my family better food but with the gas prices lately I am unsure about exactly how much more I can spend weekly on groceries. A new Whole Foods Market just opened in our neighborhood but I have never been. Wondering how the prices stack up against regular grocery stores? I know it will be more, you get what you pay for, but am wondering how MUCH more? Anyone know? I don't think we have a Trader Joe's here. What are they?
A:Whole Foods and Trader Joe's tend to cater to the really busy folks who have more $$ than time with a lot of foods that are already prepared or can be put together quickly. You pay a premium for the convenience. I'd say buy your bulk items and dry goods at a lower end store. Beans, flour, butter, oil & cleaning supplies. Try to hit the Farmer's market once a week for fresh fruits & veggies. Use Whole Foods $$$ as a substitute for buying take- out like pizza or ending up at the window of a fast food place. I wouldn't do my main shopping there. All in all I'd say you'd probably be paying 10 to 15 % more at Whole Foods or a Wild Oats..........

100% Q: What do grocery stores do with expired or almost expired foods?
With the bad economy today and food costs going up, why don't grocery stores cut us some slack? They know people aren't going to buy friuts or bread or steaks as much because of the costs, so why sell it for that much when they know these products can't keep more than a week. Why not lower their prices? Or would they rather see it expired and thrown into the trash rather than giving people a discount? So what do they do with expired foods?
A:I worked in a grocery store, I won't mention any names (but the Co-op...) and all the out of date food just got chucked out and I thought myself it was such a waste. Some people live on thrown out food! I couldn't go that far, but something does need to be done about this shameful waste when food is so expensive and half the world is starving.

I heard recently they changed the law in the past month to where you can now buy Alcohol on sundays in South Carolina in grocery stores (not convenient stores) and bars only. Is that true?
A:"No hard liquor sales after 7 p.m. and none on Sundays. No off-premise alcohol sales after midnight Saturday until 7 a.m. Monday, except in Aiken, Greenville, Spartanburg, Horry County, Colleton County, Charleston County/city and Beaufort County."
