I have lived in the hood for 30 years (with the exception of my time in the Army) and usually I’m quite content with it but there are some things that are just wrong. Why did I go to the Ghetto Grocery Store the other day? Carts all broke down, only turn right… won’t move to the left. The only fruit they seem to have are apples, grapes, and of course watermelon. The floor hasn’t been mopped in a month of sundays! And of course… Jotaqwannita and all her kin folk work the register! When I venture out of the hood, I don’t seem to have that problem. This is not a mom and pop store, this is a MAJOR chain! We need to start complaining more often. Most of the time we seem to think that if we complain, they’ll just close the store down and then where will we go.

I remember when I lived in Riverdale I used to drive out of my way to get to a good grocery store. It doesn’t make sense how those stores can get to that point…and you’re right. They are national chain stores! SMDH!

The other thing about these stores is that they charge soooooo much more than their non-ghetto counterparts! It’s so sad - especially since a lot of these stores depend on foodstamps, wic and other programs…so exploitive.
