Depends on if I’m saying grocery store or just grocery. Former is "gro-sree" - Latter is “gro-sher-ee. Don’t ask me why.

The s's are in the first syllable.

Honestly, I do that as well. English is a weird language anyway. Read, lead, and reed sound alike, but so do read, red, lead and led. Cone and zone rhyme, but one doesn't.I pronounce "grocer" as "gro-sir", but "grocery" as "gro-sher-ee".

I would enjoy going to a Skyline Chili again. It's been almost 30 years.

I've always assumed most of you were drunk. Or high. Or posting from under a bridge.

I dont think Ive ever heard this in my life. Gro-sher-ee sounds like some sorta hillybilly speak.

What about the word "Coupon"? My wife, her family and several of my friends pronounce the word "QUE-pon", despite the fact that there is no letter "Q" in the word. You don't pronounce a Military Coup with a "Q" sound, so why "Coupon"?

I have heard CUE-pon, though I don't get it. . Never heard of sh in grocery, though.
Also even though I voted for the 1st (correct) answer, I do like Skyline chili

you people not pronouncing it with "sh", are you going "grow-curry" or something?

I've always said it gro-shree (2 syllables). Everyone I know says it the same way. We ain't got time for no extra syllables. Midwest/Nebraska.

You pronounce coupon as "koo - on"?
You don't pronounce Military Coup with a "p" sound....
