maureen cowan from uddingston. Posted 16 May 2003.
When the first supermarket opened in the small town of Bellshill, I paid my first visit in the company of my two sons, one in a high pram, and the other by my side. while I myself thought the American way of life had landed, and picked my way through the store, putting goods in my first ever wire basket, my oldest son was busy putting crisps and sweets inside the cover of the pram. The concept of having to pay, in this instance, did not occur to him, as i was picking up what I wanted, instead of standing in front of a counter, being given the goods and then paying, he thought the treats he picked up were free! luckily we were just outside the shop when he produced his cache of goodies. they were duly returned and "modern" shpping habits were explained.
