A Lesson in E-Marting

Lesson #1 - Don't drive to E-Mart on the weekend.
Lesson #2 - When driving to E-Mart during the week, pull into the parking garage - just when you think you need to pull a ticket the bar goes up and lets you in.  No tickets needed.  They just took a photo of your license plate stamped with the time you arrived!  (How awesome is that?) No fear of losing that stinkin' parking ticket!
Lesson #3 - Shopping carts, sure their shopping carts are just like shopping carts you find in the states, EXCEPT they are all chained together!  How do you get one?  Put 100 won in the slot and unlock the cart.  Take your cart inside and shop away. 

Lesson #4 - E-Mart shopping carts are magical - they will stay in place while going up and down a moving ramp.  You don't even need to hold on.

Lesson #6 - E-Mart is Super Target on steroids.

Melon Turtles. They really do taste like melons. YUM-O!

Lesson #7 - E-Mart does not have shopping bags or baggers.  You put everything in your shopping cart and take it to the 'Self Packing Zone'.

Lesson #7 - In the self packing zone there are boxes, scissors, tape and plastic ribbon stuff for tying your box together.   You do it yourself.

Lesson #8 - Take your boxes to your car.  Return your shopping cart to the shopping carts that are chained together.  Get your 100 won back.

Lesson #9 - Keep your receipts handy.  When exiting the parking lot you have to go through a parking lot toll....if you spent enough money parking is free.  (I always spend enough money.)  Exit the parking lot. 

Lesson #10 - Just like Super Target, you will always spend too much money at E-Mart.
