did not like it

This was easily one of the worst short stories that I have ever read. I despise this story. Calling it a story is an insult to real stories. Uninteresting plot, uninteresting characters, and uninteresting setting make this mess the perfect story to throw in the trash.

Why is this story even titled "A&P"? It has nothing to do with that place, aside from the setting. If the narrator never mentioned that the setting was A&P and instead said that it was some generic supermarket, the story would have been exactly the same. The only reason that I see for titling the story "A&P" is to defame the REAL A&P by associating the stores with uncivilized women in bathing suits.
