LadyLiberty:
When Boris Yeltsin went grocery shopping in Clear Lake

At JSC, Yeltsin visited mission control and a mock-up of a space station. According to Houston Chronicle reporter Stefanie Asin, it wasn't all the screens, dials, and wonder at NASA that blew up his skirt, it was the unscheduled trip inside a nearby Randall's location.

Yeltsin, then 58, "roamed the aisles of Randall's nodding his head in amazement," wrote Asin. He told his fellow Russians in his entourage that if their people, who often must wait in line for most goods, saw the conditions of U.S. supermarkets, "there would be a revolution."

Haven't been to Houston in about 3 years, and I don't know if exists anymore, but the Fiesta at NASA Road 1 was an amazing groocery store,  Should have shown him that one.

I've read that many, if not most, Russians have to spend 60% of their income on food, and so can barely afford the stuff Tucker saw on the shelves. As Timber said, he probably saw the most well-stocked grocery store. Take a side trip to some small Russian city or town and tell us how great it is.
