Hannaford Food and Drug

Recently, I bought 12 balloons here ($ 10.99) at the request of the detail-​oriented bride and a Kleenex Pocket Pack ($ 2.75) that included 6 packs of tissues.
I was in charge of making sure cars did not miss the charming — albeit secretive — location for the wedding
and
I thought I would cry a lot.
All of the cars turned at the balloons
and
I did not cry at all… some of my friends did, though, and I was ready. A pocket pack of Kleenex is always nice to have around.
You can get your blood pressure checked for free near the pharmacy inside. Apparently, I was exceedingly healthy at 11am on August 9.
The grocery store felt a bit old-​fashioned, which I kind of liked.
I do remember, after stuffing 12 balloons into the backseat of a rental car, a fine 70-​something gentleman parked in back of me and proceeded to yell at me that I was NOT PARKED THE RIGHT WAY. I was waiting for an old friend who was still in the grocery store purchasing tampons, and she was shocked to come out and find me –in formal wedding attire — in a fight with this spry gentleman.
I just made things worse by suggesting that HE USE THE BLOOD PRESSURE MACHINE IN THE PHARMACY BECAUSE I WAS NOW WORRIED THAT HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A STROKE.
The best I could gather, there are 2 spots reserved for people in a hurry. We took one of them and he took the other. The sign does not say you have to be OLD and in a hurry, but apparently everyone in Yarmouth knows that you do not use the «Quickie» spots if you are under 65. (I know there is a good joke in there, somewhere…)
ANYway, if you are under 65 and do not feel like being verbally abused by grandpa, take heed.
Later, I asked one of the Yarmouth attendees at the wedding about this and he said that there are rules, and I wasn’t following them. These Mainers are very complex. At one level they are very uptight and at another level they are crazy fun… Maniacs.
