It's a typical H-E-B. You'll find it very similar to the Liberty Heights H-E-B as far as the layout (but with less wine.) However, I would like to share an especially since visit I had there. I had recently been released from the hospital and was still convalescing, but needed a few staple items. Naturally, it was off to H-E-B. I grabbed my quick needs which included a carton of extra large white eggs. Now, this is a pet peeve of mine at ALL grocery and department stores, the checkout lines get ungodly hot thanks to the running electronics. Why can't they add a couple fans? Anyway, the heat crept into me and I felt woozy. Checked out, now this H-E-B has not one but THREE entrances, the center one has two double doors and some quarter games, it's its own fun little world of claw games and stickers, so yep, fresh out of the hospital my body gave way and I dropped my bags and the eggs came rolling out. One helpful employee, named Susie, was helping an elderly customer with her groceries and saw me struggling to clean up my mess. She offered to help and told me I could get a fresh carton of eggs. I thanked her and turned down the eggs and explained I was just released from the hospital and feeling not very well. Without even offering, she just told me to wait there while she grabbed another carton of eggs and brought it to me. It was very nice and heartfelt and I'm sure the kind act was nothing to her, but it meant a lot to me.
