One place that has caught my interest while living here in Nebraska is the local grocery store, Hy-Vee. When I first walked in to Hy-Vee I had no idea what to expect…I mean this is a grocery store in a state that is pretty much full of cornfields, so of course I was expecting to see corn memorabilia but unfortunately my eye was not attracted to any. I did see plenty of Cornhusker memorabilia, which was kind of strange because I have never been introduced to a grocery store that sells football items before. The Hy-Vee employees were also all dressed in red and white to show their love and devotion for the team. All of the grocery stores back in Arizona would have frowned heavily on this and would have requested that they put on their uniforms.
I liked atmosphere that Hy-Vee gave off. I was very contented with the selection of food that was offered. It was very clean and quiet, no crazy kids screaming for their mom to buy them cookies. One thing that I really felt comfortable about with Hy-Vee was that they don’t have the card thingy that you have to have to participate in all the sales. It delighted me that I did not have to sign up for one more card that would save me a few dollars on groceries. I also felt very at home (in a grocery store kind of way) because every section of different types of groceries were displayed like how they were at home, and for that one moment I was back in Arizona shopping at my one of my local grocery stores.
The last and most important thing about my new found love for Hy-Vee was the service that I received. I was greeted in the way in and on the way out. I was constantly asked if I needed help finding something. All I can say at the end of my day is that, Hy-Vee will be getting my business in the future.
