The Stop&Shop Trifecta – Part 2: Starcarts
February 17th, 2009The second in a 3-part series of posts that resulted from ONE trip to the grocery store…
Holding your Starbucks cup while shopping and pushing a cart is not an issue at Stop&Shop. No, sir.
I’m sure many of you have seen grocery stores with the Starbucks store right inside, screaming to you as you come in, “You look tired! Come! Come over here… we have TONS of methods of postponing that mid-afternoon fatigue crash another few hours.” But this last grocery run was the first time I’d seen such synergy between Starbucks and the store itself.
It was the shopping cart. I mean, look for yourself:
I very well may just buy a Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate every time I go to the store now. In fact, I might just go for the drink and then push it around in a shopping cart until I’ve had enough time to finish it. Really, it’s that exciting.
I do expect a “WARNING: Do not place hot beverages near young children” sticker in the near future… or depending on how much they get sued for, it might say, “WARNING: Do not place hot drinks in holder!“

When do you think we’ll get a Stop and Shop with a carscalator, salted hot chocolate and cart cup holders – I feel so deprived! If we go by how long it took to get a Target I’ll be long gone before I can enjoy such comforts of life…..all in the same store (with groceries no less)
