Grocery Stores Quotes

“I don’t know whose side you’re on,

But I am here for the people

Who work in grocery stores that glow in the morning

And close down for deep cleaning at night”
― Jericho Brown

“Today, I'm going to the grocery store.”
― Javier O. Huerta, American Copia: An Immigrant Epic

“I go mad, for example,
in the Safeway, at the many heads
of lettuce, papayas and sugar, pineapples
and coffee, especially the coffee.
And when I speak with American men,
there is some absence of recognition:
their constant Scotch and fine white
hands, many hours of business, penises
hardened by motor inns and a faint
resemblance to their wives. I cannot
keep going.”
― Carolyn Forché, The Country Between Us
