Working in a grocery store the day before Thanksgiving sounds nuts, right? Well I thought so too ... so that’s why I signed up!

Bright and early last Wednesday, I was off to the Big M in New Berlin to see what the Thanksgiving rush would look like in a small village.

Knowing for certain the last-minute details for everyone’s Thanksgiving feasts would require hundreds of people to venture to the stores for a can of cranberry sauce or that forgotten package of biscuits, I was sure I would see what action really happens inside the stores.

At 9 a.m., the store was already full of shoppers and the cashiers were working diligently on pricing and packaging one order after another.
