This is annoying… there are literally dozens of plazas with seemingly hundreds of convenience stores in my new neighbourhood…..but I don’t want to buy milk from any of them. At one establishment (a few nights ago) I finally did. From the outside it looked respectable enough - the plaza had a Rogers Video in it and that’s enough for me. The store had a 300 foot magazine rack where the top third loaded with nothing but porn. Arriving home, I saw that the “Best Before:” date was that same day.
My only hope is to find a chain-convenience store. The closest such oasis is a limited variety store in a local gas station.
There’s even one place down Yonge Street called “Village Shop & Milk”. The sentence structure in the name serves only to prove that English is not a first language for the owners of this establishment…
…either that or they actually intended for “Milk” to be a verb.
