Back in the day, I read on usenet (rfc) that midnight shopping was a
breeze, so I tried it once. I had never been in a longer line than
the one I was in at midnight and all the open aisles were equally
impacted so I had no choice. I was in line for 45 minutes! That
experience not only cured me of late night grocery shopping, I learned
to take claims like that (from strangers on the internet) with a very
large grain of salt.
