I think that the setting in A&P was very distinctive. Sammy was a creep, but the setting details were very good and clear. I get the feel of a drab place with dull florescent lights and a slight hum to them. The tile floor is a very dirty place with visible dirt and mud. All of the products are concealed by the paint chipping white of the racks. All in all, a boring place with not much to do except count the seconds until you are out.
The description of the girls is very -although a little disturbing- good too. Sammy points out their flaws and beauties and definitely goes into detail about their bodies. Gross. Anyway, he tells us all about them, their bathing suits, the way they act, ect. He is very attracted to them and would even quit his job for them. My guess is that he doesn't think many things through. <3
Sammy is definitely a creep! I think he needs to get his act straightened out before quitting a job for girls who don't even know nor do they care about him. The setting describe in A&P is very descriptive, along with the VERY direct characterizations of the girls. You are definitely right about the literary elements.
