For a couple of years, I patronized a Price Chopper in Binghamton NY (a
strange little town). It reminded me of some Tops stores here in Rochester,
best described by my son and a friend of his when they were 15. Tops used to
have an ad jingle that went something like "Tops never stops...giving you
more". Occasionally, I'd end up at a Tops with the kid and his friend, and
at the time, it was their job to shock adults, smell bad and laugh at pretty
much anything. In the store, they'd follow me around, singing "Tops never
mops...look at the floor!"

It was true.
