They have Tastykakes! Who knew?
That store really is insanely popular. I went there after today's Japanese class (actually the oral part of my midterm, so I got out early), and even after 7pm on a Tuesday night, it was quite crowded. Uncomfortably so, for me, so I'm not likely to go back there very often. Unless, of course, I really have to have some Tastykakes.

Date: 2007-03-21 03:54 am (UTC)- Before 9:30am.
- After 8pm. (but not Sundays, because they close before then on Sundays) (And if you're after 8:30pm you should probably start with produce because they tend to put it away early.)
- 2pm on a weekday.
- 4:55pm on a weekday.
It's so much cheaper than the other options that I've learned to live with the crowds. I smile a lot and generally accept the flow of traffic (rather than trying to pass carts mostly) and bring a book to read while waiting in line.
