It’s Like a Glaucoma Test for Your Scalp
I love shopping at Central Market, but there is one little irritation. Is it just me, or does anyone else find it slightly annoying that, as you enter or exit the store, you get hit with a mighty blast of vertically-blown air on top of your head? Every time, any door.
It’s 105 degrees and you’re complaining about the AC? Wear a hat.
Sounds good right now as long as it is A/C.
It’s CM’s own version of Tom Thumb hounding you with questions. Perhaps you’ll solve this problem too.
Id, I should have mentioned that this isn’t just an AC situation, the same phenomenon happens in winter. And did I mention that I love Central Market?
It’s how they keep bugs (esp. flies) from entering the store. To me the minor annoyance is worth the benefit.
NO
It’s called an air curtain. It may be required by code or CM’s way of keeping flies off the produce. That’s a good thing.
Hm, flies off the produce. Okay, I’m in favor of that. I wonder why other grocery stores don’t do that?
slow news day?
@Charles. My thought, too: if the other grocery stores don’t have air curtains, do they have more flies? At least now you know it has a name and a purpose.
Julia, what are looking for, directions to Gadhafi’s hideout?
Never once thought it was for the bugs – I thought it was a welcome “cool down” – relax – shop – get out of the heat. Silly me.
I was at the Whole Foods at Preston & Forest last weekend and they had a cloud of flies on their tomatoes… very gross!
