Re: Thanks<\/p>\n
I’ve been coming to your Midway store for nearly twenty years.<\/p>\n
In that time, in exchange for prices slightly lower than Cub and a little higher than WalMart, I’ve endured the dirty, tatty condition of the store (although not since the remodel job), a generation of disinterested cashiers, checkout lines that vary from “oppressive” to “absurd”, and\u00a0 your infamous parking lot, AKA “Panhandler Alley”, where I have heard every phony sob story conceivable – although only rarely after <\/em>the neighboring liquor store closes, to be fair.<\/p>\n But after this week’s Bing cherry sale – like, a buck a pound for the most delicious cherries I’ve had in years?<\/p>\n Yes.\u00a0 All is forgiven.<\/p>\n That is all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To:\u00a0 Midway Rainbow From: Mitch Berg, longtime customer Re: Thanks I’ve been coming to your Midway store for nearly twenty years.
