A & J Select Market

I was driving from TriCities to Stevenson to attend a Summer Solstice Labyrinth Experience (long story).  In any case, my GPS got flummuxed and I ended up somewhere north of Beacon Rock with no labyrinth in sight... I head back into Stevenson to cook up a Plan B - bug into the local small town grocery store "A & J Select market" ... buzz over to the Deli and nab a bag of their fried chicken parts along with some sort of saucy salad (chicken or crab salad I recall).  Just for grins, I ask the gal behind the counter "could you tell me where Fern Hill Road is?"  She is a bit puzzled and asks a few coworkers, all while bagging up the chicken parts and saucy salad.  Another staff member (perhaps these folks are called Associates... I am not sure) - she starts to head to the front of the store on my behalf to find a map.  No luck with the local attractions map... So, I am checking my delightful picnic bits through the checkout - she rushes back over and has a printed Google map along with instructions and boom - the gray rain curtain rolls back, and all turns to silver glass... the map and directions are crystal clear.  I head out of the store and find my way to the excellently presented Summer Solstice Labyrinth shindig.  The chicken parts are fantastic - and the saucy salad makes my belly very happy.  Thanks a Grand to the Select Market staff for creating some awesome picnic grub -- and mega thanks for the Stellar Customer Service.  Five stars!

It is a small town grocery store, but they usually have everything you need at decent prices.  

Good beer, organic produce, a few frozen vegetarian food options, and all the normal stuff.

I guess for a small town with not very many options the employees think they can be rude. I had a check huffing and puffing at me because she had to help cover the other checkers during a small rush. I'm sorry, are you not doing your job? The store is confusing as to where things are..... food here chemicals to clean here, candy dog food... I get lost in the store and find myself basically running laps.
