The recent brouhaha regarding the opening of an overpriced Trancas-area market mystifies me.
The best local market in my opinion is Ralphs. The prices are reasonable, the store fully stocked and staffed by helpful and congenial employees. The manager, Andy Pitek, treats me like royalty, as do checker, Liza and Janet.
A few years ago, clerk Debra Caraway received your Dolphin Award. They all address me by name. The same gracious attitude is given to all shoppers. For me, going shopping at Ralphs is like going to a picnic!
