They moved down Cary to the old nacho mama's location

Cooper, the older golden lab passed recently

Went to high school at RPS in the time frame you mentioned and never walked through a metal detector. I think just a few of them had them.

I thought they shut down years ago?

I was barely paying attention.

Loved Nacho Mamas!! The owner was a real gem

Wait...is that one of the dogs I usually see at Kroger with a cute hat?I🥺😢

yes :/ or it was supposed to be

Unfortunately most laws are made to regulate the few, not the majority. Such is life.

this was supposed to be kung pao chicken

Yeah but this treats all the kids as if they have done something wrong.

"Treat people like criminals and they will act like criminals"

I think you have the order of events backwards. Act like criminals (bring guns to school), get treated like criminals (metal detectors). They wouldn't be doing this if there weren't problems.

Every time my wife and I leave the house, our dog does this weird, ascending howl that's almost a scream. We can hear him as we're backing the car out of the garage. It breaks our hearts, so it's good we don't go out that often.

Came here to say this. 🤣 That's also why I did the survey.

I don’t really think any grocery store reflects who I am

I was a monster at Kings Dominion for 4 seasons, so I'm definitely picky at judging mazes haha

So many loved your sweet boy Cooper. We miss him mightily as I’m sure you do

Richmond has more pollen than average, but is not among the top 10 worst places to live with allergies

Well, you see, in the 1960's the brothers that own Aldi got into a fight, something about selling cigarettes in the stores where one brother was for it and the other against it, so they split the companies into Aldi Nord (north) and Aldi Süd (you guessed it: south). Fast forward into the 70's and the brother that owns Aldi Nord bought this tiny grocery chain based in Californian called Trader Joe's and expanded that throughout the United States. Around this time, the brother that owns Aldi Süd attempted to operate some stores in the US under the Aldi name, but that incarnation failed and quietly went away, until they reorganized a plan and launched the Aldi we know and love today. So in the hierarchy of things, Trader Joe's would be the nephew of the US version of Aldi...

Rip Cooper and nacho mamas

What a sweet way to remember him! Rest peacefully, Cooper! My cats and I will miss seeing you from our kitchen window. You brought us joy!

Sweet, sweet grocery gift card. I wish I drove up to the TJs more often. Used to go there a lot in other states, somehow can’t be bothered to drive the extra 10 mins each way.

Wtf

Better than no metal detectors 🤷🏻‍♂️

As someone who is currently finishing up a Masters in Marketing, what in the world…
