Supermarket or Grocery store?

What do you call it?

I think I end up saying grocery store most of the time and then people look at me strangely...I really don't care, but, someone tell me, does it really make that much of a difference? Would you notice if someone said one rather than the other??

Perplexing, I know!

I call it the stoopidmarket. It's always a cluster-fart when I go. You should have to take out insurance to drive a cart, I tell ya.

i say it either way. your not there is not much of a difference!

it's the building where you buy food.

Or is it a buggy! Thats what people in Georgia and such call it!

umm, it's that mystereous place where my husband stops on his way home from work & returns with yummy things like seltzer & pudding!

Technically, where he goes is a supermarket. It is the SUPER Stop & Shop.

I think he says grocery store & I just say Shop & Shop.

I call the big ones with parking lots supermarkets, but when I have to go to one of the stores down the street on queens boulevard, I call it a grocery store. I've noticed myself doing this since I moved to Queens.

I like the accuracy!

I never really thought about it until reading this post.
I think I use both terms equally as well as cart and wagon equally.

actually, i call it the food store. then again, i call the liquor store 'the wine store'. very simple minded over here. hahahaha

also, it's a cart. wagon is too long to say.

That is so true! They call it buggy here in Chicago also. The first time someone said that to me I didn't know what they were talking about.

BTW.... I call it grocery store

Finally, someone else that calls it what mom and I do, A STUPID-MARKET

It's a technical term.
