I work in a corner grocery store during the day.

Does your store primarily sell food?
0_Apprentice
Yes we sell food and household products. I recently started working there but I don't know much about grocery stores yet. Do you?
1_Wizard
I do not. I have never worked in a grocery store before. How large is the store?
0_Apprentice
It's an average size with a produce section, butcher and deli. Do you know when grocery stores became popular?

Wasn't it Vincent Astor who founded Astor Market in 1915? Before that I believe it was always a clerk who prepped your order from a counter.

It seems like we're going back to that old way in a sense, with online grocery ordering and preparing you can just pick up your groceries prepared by a personal shopper. Do you know much about technology in grocery stores?
1_Wizard
As far as online ordering technology? Just that there is a delivery charge and it's convenient.

Do you know what the biggest grocery store chain is?
1_Wizard
I don't, but I see Walmarts everywhere. I think they have something like 11,000 or more stores and are in multi countries.
