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." 
My sister and mother live in Lake Mary, and the Winn Dixie nearest my sister's home still is not open 24/7.

They're pretty much all 24/7 here, but walk in after 11 and you're likely to be tripping over and dodging the overnight stockers.
