interesting how the placement of cash registers triggers a manifesto against racism. then again it's also interesting how white folks are again left out and made to beg for public transportation and sidewalks.trailerkid wrote: The white aspect has more to do with the FACT that most using sidewalks or riding public transit in this city are of color. Most with personal transportation-- those planning to use the Cosentino's grocery parking garage-- are white. The KCMO urban pedestrians are treated once again as second class while the suburbadroid drivers (mostly white) are catered to in the most dense, pedestrian oriented intersection in the metro. Failing to acknowledge the HUGE racial divide and racism in this city gets us nowhere as it relates directly to the lack of urban amenities. This metro will never get anywhere as long as true urbanism is associated with poor, black people that white people can just drive past. In all honesty, a sparkling light rail line(s) going up and down Main or Troost would've done more for race relations than anything in the last 50 years.
I think the store is kick-ass. I'm just put-off that Cosentino's doesn't have the BALLS to put the registers in the front of the store where they logically belong. It's really just insane to have that suburban mindset even when you are surrounded by transit and highrises. It is my hope that Cosentino's cannot accommodate the customers at the front entrance and is forced to install more in-line checkout lanes and minimizes the ones attached the garage. How do we lease spin-off retail storefronts around the grocery if everyone parks at the back entrance? It's no different than Hy-Vee building in a new shopping center and having everyone enter/exit the store through the back door ignoring the small shops around it.
i'm just put off that trailerkid doesn't have the BALLS to exit his trailer and hit the pay phone and call al sharpton up to help remedy the situation.
i'm also put off that trailerkid doesn't use his humor to bring more laughter to other threads.
i do enjoy watching folks attempt to justify driving to a grocery store store because of what one idiot says on a forum. i've had to explain things that i've done in life, but driving to the grocery store will not be one of them, especially to a kid in a trailer.
