"The Store"

What does the phrase, "the store" mean to you?

My DH and I have an ongoing debate. I grew up with "the store" meaning - exclusively - the grocery store! If you were going to the store, you weren't going to Home Depot or Target. You were going to get groceries! I have a hard time remembering when he says "store" - he is using the broad definition, and could mean anything! He could come back with bags from anywhere... and often that doesn't mean grocery bags!

This has baffled me in our marriage on more than one occassion.

However.. Even with the confusion.. Today I am thankful for language - even when it is misunderstood!

So.. what does store mean to you? the grocery store? any place that sells items?
