[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1645361, member: 9374"] I suppose. I have been in some that are clean, but to tell you the truth, almost none of the many many many smaller grocery stores I have been to have been able to hold a candle to WM, Meijer, Costco, Sam's, and SuperTarget (or Greatland) in terms of aisle width, shelves stocked, aisles labeled properly and visibly, clean floors and bright atmosphere, cool comfortable shopping environment and selection with value. People complain about the "quality", but honestly, a lot of the smaller stores I have shopped in have worse quality generic items than WM. I buy a lot of generic food items, and WM's selections on a whole seem better to me. Some stores seem to really cater to the "high-end" crowd, people who want "organic" foods and such, most of which I find to be overpriced and no better quality (yes, I've tried quite a few), or to a niche market. I find many people who sniff and look down their noses when they claim they NEVER go to Wal-Mart, only to Whole Foods or some similar place. People ***** about WM's produce quality... I was there last night and bought all the fixin's for a great big salad. Quality was great. My lettuce was green and crisp, my cucumber was firm and crisp, tomatoes were sweet and juicy, mushrooms nice and firm, not soft or mushy... got a donut for my son, he loved it. I don't get what people are always bitching about... but it sure does make alot of people I have run into (not saying this is you, RH) feel much more superior and better about themselves to shop someplace alot more trendy and alot more expensive. Personally, I prefer saving money. I used a good portion of that to buy a huge pallet of food at Sam's yesterday and delivered it to the local homeless shelter. My back killed me all night, but I feel good today, and I'm very grateful to have been blessed with the ability to do that. The people at the shelter where my wife volunteers were absolutely ecstatic and genuinely thankful. It's such a good feeling to help out. I wish I could do more. I wish we all could. But that's a whole other topic. My point is, I shop fairly frugally and I save some money, some of which I can use to help others. Places like WM and Sam's help me do that.
