We have seen our first Stimulus-supported road work today on I95. Across the South and South East there are “Waffle Houses” on almost every corner. At some point coming up the coast the Waffle Houses gave way to “Dunkin Donuts” on every corner. Interesting how regional names / stores change as we tour America. Fred Meyers is owned by Kroger; so, state-side we try to shop at Krogers. We went to JC Penney store looking for more shorts. Basically, that’s what we wear all of the time. Yea!! Yea!! When we checked out the cashier requested our billing zip code number. So, we gave our Alaska zip code and her comment was “that’s a strange one.” Customer Service is no better here than elsewhere.
We have noticed in our travels various retail stores with interesting names. Unfortunately, we haven’t been very good at recording the most humorous ones, especially the tattoo parlors. So, now we are going to try to remember to blog them and maybe even remember some of the other ones we saw before today.
