A New Kind of Grocer in Town Part II

Our trip to Mason and Greens grocer in Alexandria was a lot of fun.  Anna and Justin showed us the ropes.  Brought in my containers, and Anna showed us how to "tare" our container.  Put it on a scale, it weighs it and then she scanned a small chip with a string around it.  The chip is an RFID one, so after filling my container, she scans the chip and then that weight is automatically deducted from overall weight.  Pretty cool. 

The store itself, is such a wonderful combination of old and new, old building, high ceilings, veggies and fruits in the small cardboard containers lit up by the light shining through the windows against a background of beautiful wooden floors.  What a lot of fun.  They have containers to sell too!  Here's some pics from our trip!  Good luck!
