Congratulations!
I went to Safeway this morning to buy some groceries. Since I never shopped at Safeway in Colorado, I didn't have a Safeway discount card, so when I checked out at the register, I asked the cashier if I could have one. After filling out the form, she handed me my new Safeway card and congratulated me, "Congratulations sir! Here is your new Safeway Club Card!" I didn't think it was a big deal to get a grocery store discount card, but since she used the word "congratulations" I decided that I should just chock it up as one of my first accomplishments in DC.

What she meant was "Congratulations on joining the massive Big Brother Data Collection Project!! Now we will be able to keep track of everything you buy here so we can better target market to you, etc...." :-)
Yeah, I'm sure that's what she meant. I guess that's okay though. I don't really care if Safeway keeps track of how many bananas I buy...
I've got club cards for Acme, Giant and Superfresh (three Philadelphia grocery chains), so I must be really important.
I just took the Chinatown bus home from New York and was thinking that with your interest in all things Chinese you should take the Chinatown bus from DC up here and I'll take you to "Kingdom of Vegetarians"--my favorite local restaurant among restaurants that I haven't actually been to yet. Then you can keep heading up to New York and see a real Chinatown.
