Sorry, but I never saw any tracts slipped into my order. Nothing but food.
I don't know about other places but the setup where I got mine was you walk
along a row of tables and someone drops an item into your box. Meat,
veggies, a bag of potatoes or onions, etc. until you get to the end of the
row where they place a carton of eggs on top. Then some young gentleman
will help you out to your car with the box. No preaching, no tracts. You
know me better than to put up with prosthelytising.

So what? It's still cheaper than you can get at a grocery store after
clipping a gazillion coupons. It's a good service.
