At the grocery store in Milwaukee, I was talking a bit with the (black) (female) cashier, and mentioned how the area where I lived (college campus near the ghetto) had no major foodstores, but a ton of liquor stores where you can buy cheap, highly-processed, unnutritious foods, so I had to bike like 15 minutes to get to the grocery store where we were at.
