The slogan for Florida-based mega supermarket chain Publix is “Where shopping is a Pleasure.” There is a store that I pass by regularly that retains all of its orginial 1966 charm although it was actually rebuiltwith the intention to do so in the 1990s.
During the COVID19 shutdown period in my area this spring, going to the grocery store became mine, and many other people’s, only trip out in a given week. I walked around the outside of the store one day looking for something to shoot and saw two lonely shopping carts and the harsh mid-day light hitting the word “Pleasure.”
I had found my story for the day, and enjoyed my lonely, masked outing a little bit more than usual.
