In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks with onions. When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying. The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread & cookies. I don't buy toilet paper there any more.

I don't know for sure if they pump smells in, but it wouldn't surprise me, since certain areas definately smell better than others. I think the most interesting part of the whole thing is that the store where I found all this was not in some big city or fancy suburb. Instead it was in a small town in the rural mountains of southeast Virginia...
