Just out of curiosity, does anyone else feel like the Fred Meyer on N Lombard is cursed by a demon? The one by McDonald’s and the car wash, the Portsmouth/ St. John’s location.

Every time I am present there, against my own will (because I need a rotisserie chicken or some MSG), there is an incident or a situation or something odd that happens. As a local peasant, I often experience these weird social interactions that makes me feel like I’m gonna be abducted, Silent Hill style, in the spice section.

Is it on top of the Hellmouth? Does anyone know who hexed it? I can’t go there after dark— it is the witching hour there, the feel is so looney for a chain grocery store, I object. Anyone know what desecration occurred? Why are there thousands of aisles, and why is the candy in three different places?

Wrong answers/ experiences only please

ps Shoutout to the security guards post checkout: after I've experienced the indignity of paying $8 for a tomato, your big "TSA-energy" is truly what I desire!! Heavy is the hand that holds the highlighter!!
