My Supermarket

Summary/Abstract: The first supermarket I came across had a slightly different name – it was a supermarché. I mention the name because the most powerful effect it had on me was at the level of sound. Almost any conversation on this topic would end in a cheerful and anxious conclusion, “They said we would go again!” The most frequent questions were, “Have you been to … yet?” and we would list the various departments: toys, wines, sweets etc. Now I remember less what I actually saw there and more what impressed me, the magic I felt when I uttered those words.
