Most grocery stores still are not 24/7 operations. I remeber a few years back my last game of the day during a Boys' AAU National Basketball Championship Tournament in Cocoa Beach, was an 08:30pm start. By the time the game was over and we had changed it was 10:30. I decided to stop at one of the chain grocery stores (Winn Dixie to be exact) to get some food on my way back to my hotel room. I walked into the store at about 10:55pm and started shopping. I soon discovered that I was being followed by one of the bagger/stock boys. I asked him if I could "help" him and he told me that the store closes at 11:00pm. I expressed my shock and told him that I would make my purchases right then. As I was going through the checkout I told the clerk and bag boy that grocerey stores in the "hick" state of Ohio are open 24/7,, to which the bag boy replied: "When would we sleeip if we were open all day." :eek:
My sister and mother live in Lake Mary, and the Winn Dixie nearest my sister's home still is not open 24/7.
