A Quick Cheat Sheet (Because I Love You)
Open (usually): Walmart, Target, Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, Publix, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Dollar General, Starbucks, McDonald’s. Just check hours first.
Closed (almost always): Costco, Sam’s Club, Home Depot, Lowe’s, banks, post offices.
Total mystery: Your local bakery, that cool record store, the guy who sells artisan cheese from a van. Call them.
