The overloaded wire wheeled cart to over flowing gets hernia level painful as you maneuver to the check out. But the just in time trailer truck delivery from outside markets where the food is grown, originates means a conveyor belt is turning morning, noon and night.
For now.
But the worry of what if food was not plentiful, if the costs went even higher coupled with where does this stuff come from anyway has people thinking.
