We also sent Tim Tern out to a couple of local Market Baskets this morning to play 'Count the Customers!' As you can imagine, he didn't have to use his college degree to count too high.  Tim, was able to get to the Woodbury Ave store in Portsmouth where there was 3 customers buying cereal and granola; 2 customers inside the Somersworth store and 2 customers at the Lee store.
