Just FYI, the guy that started Piggly Wiggly was the guy that started the modern grocery store in America. This was back in the time when you used to bring in a list of stuff to a clerk and they would go measure out your flower, weigh your bananas grab your two cans of beans or whatever and bring it to you. Back when you could run a tab for groceries... bit of useless trivia for you

His name was Clarence Sanders. He started the first Piggly Wiggly in Memphis. He was heavily invested in the stock market and lost everything when it crashed. The city of Memphis took over his property and now it is The Pink Palace Museum. There is a replica of the store inside the museum.

[@cashewisnotanut4409]

the first true supermarket in the United States was opened by a former Kroger employee, Michael J. Cullen, on 4 August 1930, inside a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) former garage in Jamaica, Queens in New York City.[16] The store, King Kullen, operated under the slogan "Pile it high. Sell it low."

A decade later, she killed her second husband, but tried to play it off as a hazy accident, like she found the gun under his pillow, and suddenly, her index finger was on the trigger, firing the gun and shooting him dead.

Piggly Wiggly is actually the first ever self-service grocery market chain in existence. Without them training customers on how to get their own items or navigate a store with aisles we wouldn't be using shopping carts, checkout stands or even have the ability to buy many items in smaller quantities versus bulk. With the switch to self-service we even saw a whole new era of manufacturers trying to appeal directly to customers through packaging and different forms of advertising, brand recognition became a huge thing, if you could get a customer to recognize your brand or unique packaging and grab it off the shelf instead of the other guy (or the cashier picking it for you or otherwise directing your purchase) it was a huge thing.

Love old Piggly Wiggly! We had one and I also used to shop with my grandparents there for all the years we were able. I'll never forget that. They never drove so we either took the bus or walked. Unless someone from the fam drove them. Once in awhile a taxi but mostly just the usual. Gramma had one of those rolling shopping carts and we really had to work, especially to get back. Old houses built on hills with cracked and crazy sidewalks. But it was fun and so close to my heart. Our Pigglys are gone here, don't know if Iowa still has any. I mean there could be more in Illinois but not our town. I miss them and my Mom and Dad so very much. That really brought me back.

[@maryannanderson2213]

Two husbands and one killed himself and one was murdered by person or persons unknown? Yeah, well I think if I were a man, I would not want to marry Cindy. So, she had to run to the store to get something she had forgotten so she left, and Michael entered the house allowing someone who was lying in wait to shoot him? Well, isn't that convenient? That's the same thing Bart Whitaker pulled. He came home from a restaurant with his brother and his mom and dad, but he turned around and went back to the car to get his cell phone which he had forgotten leaving mom and dad and brother to enter the house where a friend of his shot all three of them and only dad survived. These excuses are getting terribly tired and overused. I'm wondering if the cops ever went back and looked at the death of Cindy's first husband. Maybe he killed himself or maybe she killed him also. What I think is hysterical about this case is how quickly Cindy's own true love, dear old Jeff, turned on Cindy and threw her under the bus in an attempt to save his own worthless hide. BTW, I live in Nashville, and we actually have Piggly-Wiggly stores here. I don't shop there regularly but I have shopped at Piggly-Wiggly. They are pretty good places to shop because they pretty much have anything you want but they are not as large as say a Wal-Mart Superstore that takes you an hour or more to get through.

"Her family pledges to fight AGAINST her freedom." Damn! You pretty much never hear that. Also, 40 years, eligible for parole in 10?? Look, we weren't sitting in court, so maybe the evidence could only prove so much, but that seems light. And please don't hate me for this, but it seems there really is a trend of the ladies getting less time. And yes, I realize her accomplice, a guy, only got 20 in this case, but if she was proven to have killed her husband, doesn't a life sentence seem a little more warranted? Idk. I'm just happy I've never had to decide someone's fate as a juror before.

[@MissaPality]

No, I completely agree with everything you said. From her family vowing to fight against her possible release in 10 years to feeling that seems way too light of a sentence with regards to the minimum. I am not sure what the sentencing guidelines are for that state, but with regards to the seemingly disparate sentencing between men and women, it does seem she got off with a lighter sentence.
