I had never been in a supermarket before coming to America. At home, my parents wouldn't let me open the refrigerator, because they worried I'd damage the door by opening it too many times.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's easy for Americans to forget that the food they eat doesn't magically appear on a supermarket shelf.
Since I travel so much, it's always great to be home. There's nothing like getting to raid my own refrigerator at two in the morning.
Supermarket automatic doors open for me; therefore, I am.
I love my refrigerator.
I think traditional supermarkets have to pay attention to the fact that America is more and more conscious of lifestyle.
If you think you know the consumer better than anyone, then you're in real trouble. So we take a close watch. You spend time in stores.
Been trading up recently? You have, haven't you? You'll be squawking that you're too rational, too busy and too socially concerned for any of that. But go through the fridge - come to think of it, what about the fridge itself? I bet it's bigger than its predecessor.

When I was growing up, I installed refrigerators in supermarkets. My father was an electrical engineer.
I've reached a point in my life where going to the supermarket is a day out.
