There are two main reasons this set ended up sitting in my backlog for so long, and you can see both of them here. First, this store had Lifestyle v1 Refresh, a decor that I have never found particularly interesting -- in fact, it lives with Walmart's Cheap Impact and Neighborhood Market Impact as the most uninteresting decor packages out there, ones that I tend to stay away from photographing. (I only visited this store as part of my goal to visit every major-chain grocery store within Seattle, which I accomplished quite some time ago. And even then, I almost skipped it, because at the time I had a friend who lived just a block or two south of this store, and I still prefer to avoid people I know in real life knowing my retail hobby.) Second, while this store's lighting looks perfectly normal to me, something about it made both my original iPod Touch and my current iPhone camera very unhappy, so neither set turned out particularly well. Anyway, this picture is supposed to be showing the right (cold) part of the deli, which was painted beige in Lifestyle v1 and treated as a separate department from the prepared foods section, something that was dropped in Lifestyle v2 and has basically been gone ever since (except in a small number of stores with the Modern package).
