>>>That's WEIRD. It's always on the perimeter of every store I've ever shopped
at. Oh well, it's California.<<<

Specifically, it's Raley's (Nob Hill, Bel Air).  Every other store in town it's on the side.  I'm rare, for my immediate (and by that I mean short walking distance) neighborhood has THREE fully functioning grocery stores:  Nob Hill, Lucky's (sometimes SaveMart, depending on which way the corporate wind blows), and a Mom & Pop place called Star Market which is the oldest of the three (owned by a Chinese family with roots that go farther back than most of us around here).  In terms of produce and meat quality, it's Star first, then Nob Hill, then Lucky's.  (Actually, put Lucky's at the tail end of all lists.)  And what makes this convenient as hell is that whenever Nob Hill workers go on strike (only once since I've been in this part of town, 2005), I've got two other stores to get what I need while supporting my unionized friends.
