Shaw's

Jed Hresko spotted this extra fuzzy thing among the carriages tonight.

Justin Michaels spotted these Coke quota signs at the Quincy Shaw's today, wonders if it has anything to do with that New Zealand woman's Coke-linked death or if it's just because they have some sort of sale going on.

Local lad at Shaw's on Hyde Park Avenue has fun with fish heads.

The Brighton Mills Shaw's was playing Chanukah music this morning:

Right now the store is broadcasting Haveinu Sholom Aleichem!

Meanwhile, a local group is already focusing on Thanksgivukkah next year - when the two holidays overlap for the first time since 1918.

Christopher photographed the scene in the water aisle at the Waltham Shaw's on Saturday night.

At the Dedham Star, a manager went on the PA: "Attention shoppers, get all your power-outage needs at the front of the store." At the front of the store was a table with votive candles, cans of propane, empty gasoline containers, batteries. pink umbrellas, "12-inch Mini-Quick disposable grills," and those fire-starter wand gun things.

Daisy reports:

The clerk at Blanchards in West Roxbury assured customers that they'd be open during the storm.

On a trip to the West Roxbury Shaw's this afternoon, Alex Jones noticed a rather precariously parked Jeep. Jones reports he happened to be there when the driver came out; guy explained, "it was just something I always wanted to do."

To get to the meat cases at the Hyde Park Shaw's today, we had to get around all these displays of Halloween candy. As we left early this evening, the thermometer in our car read 84.

What? Too soon? Tell that to the Auburndale Shaw's, where Loriane DiSabato snapped this photo on the 23rd:

Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports a man was nabbed at the self-checkout line at the Western Avenue Shaw's hitting the banana price for the red grapes he'd put on the scale.

I was not ready to be confronted with this when I walked into the West Roxbury Shaw's yesterday (it was right at one of the entrances). To paraphrase our own Suldog, "Labor Day comes first!"

Spotted at the Shaw's on Spring Street in West Roxbury. Guess what police district the store is in.

At the West Roxbury Shaw's, which also had a heart-shaped shrimp ring for two (it came with two small containers of cockatail sauce).

Boston Police report arresting two Malden men for shoplifting at the Prudential Center Shaw's around 6 p.m. yesterday.

Police add, however, that Meelad Jalal, 18, and Burgan Rasul, 22, did not attempt to sneak out of the store with anything. Instead, police say, the two, along with a third man, went to the store's prepared-meals area, grabbed some food, walked up to the store's second level and chowed down. Jalal and Rasul, however, were stopped when they tried to leave without paying, according to police, who say that based on the remains, the trio consumed "an order of French fries, a plate of fried chicken, various pastries, biscuits and approximately 2 lbs. of steak tips."

Police add the third guy "screwed," before officers arrived, which explains the BPDNews headline: "Two Arrested for Chewing and Not Screwing."

Innocent, etc.

The West Roxbury Shaw's still had some of these for sale today - granted, with $1 off with a Shaw's card, but, really, who would buy one?

Graham watched in amazement as a guy wheeled up to the register at the Packard's Corner Shaw's tonight with 18 gallons of milk, 8 each of whole and 2%, one each of skim and 1%. Plus, of course, toilet paper. He adds:

The whole mess got loaded into a Zipcar and hauled away to presumably frantic destinations unknown. Me? i bought some hot sauce, beer, and cat food. Some people ...

While Stop & Shop workers were busy ratifying a new contract this weekend, workers at Shaw's produce warehouse in Methuen were going out on strike, Channel 4 reports. That could mean you'll see only wilted lettuce at your local Shaw's and Star Market - assuming you cross the picket lines the workers could be putting up.

Because the employees use the bike rack as a smoking area?

Boston Police report a guy who made off with a salad from the salad bar at the Pru Shaw's yesterday tried to hold a woman up on Huntington Avenue even as he was stuffing the salad into this mouth.

A security guard who was trailing Hector Tetzaguic, 38, of Dorchester, grabbed him and held him until police arrived, BPD says. He was charged with shoplifting and attempted larceny from a person.

Innocent, etc.

When you walk into Shaw's on Spring Street now, the very first thing you see is a display of Passover foods (except, strangely, macaroons).

Call them Shaw's or Star Market or Shirley, but just make a decision and stick with it already.

No, it's not rapidly increasing food prices. It's that we're all in a food rut:

Shaw's Supermarkets said Tuesday it has forged a partnership with America's Test Kitchen that aims to get shoppers out of what they call a "food rut."

West Bridgewater, Mass.-based Shaw's said the initiative, called "Get Inspired," was designed specifically to stop New Englanders from sleep-shopping through the grocery aisles, cooking the same uninspired meals, week after week. ...

What?!? The signs in the freezer aisle aren't inspiration enough?!?

According to witnesses who reported it on b0st0n LiveJournal. Bus traffic was substantially delayed.

Update, from Cambridge Chronicle: Harvard student dead after being hit by truck.

Because Dippin' Dots are now available at Shaw's.

If you have the mind of a 12-year-old, at least (possibly NSFW):

Carmen knows this because she got his autograph yesterday at the Mt. Auburn Street Shaw's, which snagged him to help celebrate the re-opening of its pharmacy (really).
