    I swear they have a Caucasian alarm in this place.  I barely opened the door when the two women behind the counter, who were waiting on customers at the time, shouted over them and said "Yes, sir, can I help you?"  I didn't realize they were talking to me at first, and then stopped and looked up to see not only them, but five other customers in the store staring at me.  I replied, "No, I'm all set.  Just gonna grab a few things," and started shopping.  After two minutes, the younger of the two women at the counter joined me in the aisle and asked if I needed help again.  What the heck?  If she wants to be my personal shopper while I'm in the store, who am I to stop her?.  So she took my list and led me around the store.  They didn't have a few of the things on the list, one of which was yellow bean sauce, but she actually called her sister (must be a family-run store) to ask if she knew if they carried that product.  They don't, unfortunately, but A+ for going above and beyond my customer service expectations.  

    Yesterday's visit was such an awkward yet pleasant experience.  I wanted to raise my rating to five stars, but they didn't have several of the goods I was looking for, so I'll leave it at four.
