Kittens Are Jerks Posted February 14, 2020 #91 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Grocery list for groceries, shopping list for things at other stores. As for shopping or grocery lines, neither. Here it's usually the checkout or cash line. When referring to multi-level parking do you say parking garage, parking deck, car park, multi-storey, parkade, or indoor parking?
