MINNEAPOLIS, March 7 (UPI) -- Grocery stores and co-ops in the Minneapolis area said romantic connections are common in the aisles because food is "something that people have in common."
Vivian King, a spokeswoman for Roundy's, which operates Rainbow Foods in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, said it's "natural" for people to hit on each other at the grocery store because "it's around something that people have in common," the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Monday.
"Several people make the same types of food, and you can have a conversation that's not intimidating," King said.
Elizabeth Archerd, director of membership and marketing for the Wedge Co-op in Minneapolis, said there is a "fair amount of flirting" at the establishment and Liz McMann, Mississippi Market's manager of consumer affairs, said co-op shoppers are likely to make connections because they "know that (others) share some values ... whether environmental or health or the treatment of animals."
