A Spiritual Shopping Experience

What would you expect to hear over the public address system at your local supermarket?
a. Cleanup on aisle five
b. Attention shoppers! We're happy to offer a special today on watermelons!
c. Ma'ariv will take place in the Beit Knesset behind the vegetables immediately
This evening, shopping for Shabbat, I heard "c". It was so cool that I dropped everything and went. And there actually was a little shul in the back of Rami Levi. And a bunch of men showed up, including some of the store stockboys, a soldier, and a bunch of shoppers - and we davened ma'ariv.
That never happened to me in America.
