The BEST time to go grocery shopping is Saturday afternoon. That's right - Walmart, the grocery stores, and the roads are EMPTY on Saturday afternoons right now. Its FOOTBALL SEASON!
We were picking up a few items one Saturday afternoon at Winn Dixie and the store was so quiet except for the football game over the radio in the meat department. One of the employees confirmed that the store emptied out just before kickoff every week.
The first day we were in Birmingham, the first personal conversation I had outside of our family or the seminary was with the guy from Charter to hook up our internet. His first question for me was, "So, which side are you on?" (um, what?) My confused expression prompted him to continue, "Alabama or Auburn?" He was hardcore for Auburn, but thankfully didn't take offence to my indifference.
We've been told that little girls wear their cheer leading outfits year-round, and that bank tellers say "Thank you for banking with us today, Roll Tide Roll!" when you complete your transaction.
BAMA! Roll Tide Roll! War Eagle! Or Tigers! or whatever...
