Shopping at the grocery store is a community
What makes this a community is that there are several people going to the same place to get stuff they need. What holds this group together is that the food supply is still coming to the store, so it keeps people returning to the store. The people in this group need the same thing, which is food. They also value the food because we are lucky enough to have as much as we need. Usually the tensions of it being really busy and the long lines that you have to wait to check out in work against the cohesion of this community. Even sometimes there will be a good sale and people will fight over the last item on sale, then it’s hectic. Also there are some cart collisions while turning corners. But overall this community runs smoothly. I fit into this group because I’m just another person that goes to the store to get the grocery’s I need. We all need the same thing, that’s to get food for our family’s. I want to be a part of this community because without this community I would starve. So I would say it’s a good community to be a part of.

Hi, I totally get the grocery community. I don't spend a whole lot of time there, I like to get what I need and leave. I am definitely a part of that community though. I am not the only guy doing that, so we are like our own community, within a bigger community.
