The Pink Store and the Blue Store

Staniel Cay is a  typical Bahamian settlement, For groceries you have the pink store and the blue store.

When you talk about a grocery store, The Pink Pearl is about as low key as you can imagine. We went in yesterday and the shelves were basically bare. The supply boat from Nassau hasn’t been in for a few weeks because of the weather.   We bought an onion and 6 cans of tonic. There are actually two grocery stores in town, the pink store and the blue store. I bought coffee cream at the blue store for $7.50. They had some that had an expiration date of January 19^th and even that wasn’t on sale. I think they could use a math consultant down here, as the shopkeepers are challenged by adding up the goods. Is this a sign that I should retire?
