You Can't Get That Here....

When I moved to Gawja, I didn't know I would have to give up some things...I came here from California, so I went to the mall looking for Sees, They looked at me  and said "What chu want to see?"    That was eye opener number 1.  But surely since I was back close to the East Coast I could find a Tastykake, right? Keep in mind, I moved to Atlanta in February 1996, most companies weren't really doing business online yet.  So I go looking for a 7-eleven.  Nope they don't have 7-eleven in Georgia...Well then where is the Food Lion...errrrr umm "We got a Kroger...you looking for a grocery store?"   At the grocery store, I wander to the chip aisle, I really want some chips.... "Excuse me, where are Utz? "  The reply, "Y'all are on aisle 8.  Are you ok?"  "I said UTZ not us?"  Alrighty then, I guess I will just make some sandwiches.  Me on the bread aisle to the clerk: "Excuse me, do you have Wonder? "  The reply,  "At times I do wonder about a whole lot of stuff like why is the sky blue and where...."   

Where is this strange place I have fallen into....no Sees, no Tastykake, no Utz, no Wonder bread, no 7-eleven, no Food Lion.....Houston, we have a problem. Since that day, I have gotten use to QT. I even like the local grocery chains, especially since I found my Wonder Bread I can order Sees, Tastykake, and Utz online.  In the days of the global economy why can't I get my Tastykake, which is produced right in Pennsylvania, in the grocery store; but I can order a rug from China and they will get here at the same time?!?!?!?  ugggggggh I just don't like them telling me "You can't get that here."
