For me it's Alper's in Port Washington, NY. I went in a few years ago, don't
remember what I needed at the time. I said hi to John, who ws working at the
counter (he wasn't in the family, which is now run by the grandchildren)m and
he said, "Hi Daryl," gave me a little grin and added, "you need batteries."

"No John, I came in for (whatever)."

"You need batteries."

"No, seriously, I need ____."

"Your wife just called. You need D batteries. Here they are." And he put them
on the counter.
