Based on my own experience of buying at Vons, chains can be good, you just have to go to the counter and know what you're looking for (I wouldn't know when it comes to mussels even though I love them). If you've had problems with that particular location's cleanliness or freshness in the past just outright avoid it though.

Better luck next time.

Actually my first bad experience with them after shopping there for the last 19 years. Their butchers all know me and I always get killer cuts of meat as long as I go early when they aren't crazy busy.

Who knows how often a chain gets fresh out of the water mussels. Disclaimer: Their fish is always great. I'm just going to stay away from stuff like shellfish, lobster, oysters, etc.

You're close enough to the shore that that shouldn't be an issue. If they know you you should let them know about it, you might get some free **** out of it.

Yup. It's school bus season. One bus that I try to get ahead of on my morning commute has 5 different stops in 5 blocks. Ugh.

He could stab himself in the leg with a hedgetrimmer and hold out for morphine too.
