I put off going to the grocery until after dinner, about 9:00 PM. By the time I got to the Franprix, I found out they close at 9:00 PM. So, I said to myself 'I'll pick some up in the morning. Next morning, I have to be ready for the movers to arrive with our shipment at 9:00 AM, so I head over to the grocery store about 8:15. I'm happy to see the door open from a distance, but when I get there, there's a cleaning guy sweeping, and he waves me off - 'We're closed.' What?! They don't open until 9:00 AM. OK, I'll just go across the street to the giant (by Parisian standards) Monoprix. Guess what? They don't open until 9:00 AM either. Hmm. Guess I'd better start planning my grocery trips a little better.
