Springfield Giant Opens

The Giant Supermarket had its grand opening today in the Springfield Shopping Center in Springfield, Pa. There were lots of samples and friendly staff and some nice deals.

The store is at the site of what once was E. J. Korvette with its legendary record department which closed circa 1978 and whose building was then used by a series of hard-to-remember discount stores. The building was demolished to make way for the much larger Giant and since non-union labor was used in construction, pickets often with a large inflatable rat and always overseen by county deputy sheriffs, graced the Woodland Avenue construction entrance for the last year or so.

Anyway, the store opened and I applied for a courtesy card and they simply scanned in the code from the back of my drivers license without me having to fill out any forms.

It was neat and rather amazing but I suspect it would be unconstitutional in Arizona.
