my cart, 12th in line
The Somerville Market Basket is the stuff that legends are made of. The place is crowded all the time, as it is known for its great low prices. The produce is always fresh because it is constantly being replenished, they can’t even keep the shelves full!
I have come to think of my visits as a multi-cultural experience; the masses from ethnically diverse Somerville know they can find their special ingredients.
I have lived through some crazy times at the Market Basket, like the time I couldn’t get a shopping cart until I tailed someone to their vehicle. You know what you are in for by the condition of the parking lot – if you have to wait for a space outside, you can imagine what it’s like inside.
But nothing beats last Sunday when I was 12th in line! Seems like there is always some event driving business; Christmas, Patriots Game or in this case a Nor ‘easter predicted for the early hours of Monday morning.
