No, I really don't. The cashier doesn't appear to speak
English. Forget the guys behind the meat counter, that's
a struggle to make clear what you want. There are a
couple of guys I can hear hanging around the loading dock.
That covers the array of employees in the store at all times
that I've been there.

I can only think of one other within reasonable driving distance.
Maybe two. They're pretty far and I think one of them is related
to the one I visit.

Anyway, I'll just be bringing my own bag (sorry, Andy, I didn't
reply to you) so my food doesn't have to touch the black gunk.
