MSG or salt?

No salt? Are you kidding me? I looked everywhere in this store. Mind you this is a huge store, similar to Costco, it usually has a lot of imported goods and they didn't have salt! What? I even asked people who worked there, they just told me "mei you" don't have. I showed them the Chinese character, so there was no mistake in my pronunciation either!

But.....there are about 10 different brands of MSG, they use that here instead of table salt.
Workers are stocking shelves. This is not at midnight or any "non busy hour". I try to shop on weekdays because the weekends are even more crowded. But even on the weekends they close off isles and have crates in your way with no regard for any customers.
Chinese New Year is coming! Red is everywhere because it is good luck.

Just put this photo here because I thought it was cool seeing this sting ray for sale.

I kind of want one of those red silk coats. Am I weird? And how does one prepare a sting ray?
