D.O.P.-T.

We tried a different supermarket to replace the Mountain View Nob Hill, which is closing. Another Nob Hill, on the ground floor of a newish apartment building. Unfortunately as I feared it turned out to be not only much smaller but to have a bad mix of stuff: far too much space devoted to deli, very poor on frozen food (the Mountain View one was always quirky in that department too—good on healthy entrees and pizza, poor on icecream and frozen veg), not good on produce and poor on bread, both of which the Mountain View one did well. At least neither of us found any outdated or expiring-that-day items, which was a recurring problem at Mountain View. The poor checker had probably been inundated with whiny former patrons of the longtime store and did her best to suggest other places we could try. If I'd had my purse I'd have offered her a tip.
