[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;41837501]good. fuck wal-mart's almost-monopoly status. theres plenty of towns without a Target store or Food Lion, but jesus christ wal-marts are everywhere[/QUOTE] For instance, there is not a single "Food Lion" in all of California. Seriously. I've never heard of Food Lion.

I goto my Winco regularly, a lot of locations over here in Washington and are very popular so I can see them being successful a lot of places.
So.. They cut the fancy crap, simplified everything, and used the money they saved to benefit their employees? Cool. Also, that Gameboy Color... New... Good Lord, man, you can get at least twice that on eBay.
Winco, or at least the one I go to, has been a much nicer experience than Walmart. Good for them.
Do americans normally not bag their own groceries?
Bag your own groceries??? What do they think you are, European filth?
i work at walmart and i thinking about killing myself constantly a lady asked me what metric was today atleast i get to drive the forklift vroom vroom
I wonder if they'll expand into Montana any time soon. I suppose we're pretty over-saturated with grocery stores though.

... Is it bad that I just applied for Wal-Mart (they were hiring in my area)?
Hah, that's fascinating. Sounds inefficient though, if I have a bought a shit-ton of stuff everyone else behind me have to wait for the cashier to load it up?
[QUOTE=demoguy08;41840480]Do americans normally not bag their own groceries?[/QUOTE] Nope, I was a bagger for a year and a half It was my job to put milk cartons on top of bread and eggs [editline]14th August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=demoguy08;41841017]Hah, that's fascinating. Sounds inefficient though, if I have a bought a shit-ton of stuff everyone else behind me have to wait for the cashier to load it up?[/QUOTE] There is usually a dedicated bagger bagging as the groceries come down the line. If there isn't, yes the cashier will have to do it, but you can always help, and also they are probably much faster at it than you.
I got permanently banned from every Wal-Mart store and charged with felony grand larceny a few months back. I can't say it wouldn't please me to watch this store get toppled by another. Their customer service is terrifying, the lost prevention team is full of white trash, employees are underpaid, quality of food is disturbing, and prices are honestly no better than many other places.

What exactly did you do to get banned from every Walmart?

I thought this was going to be about Tesco, but then I realised Tesco's Fresh & Easy subsidiary was pulling out of the US.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;41841863]I don't see anything on Walmart there.[/QUOTE] No, it's just saying that they've had a habit of shilling for corporate causes and should be considered a tainted source.
[QUOTE=demoguy08;41840480]Do americans normally not bag their own groceries?[/QUOTE] Actually, Wal-Mart now does the bag your own groceries thing... So, yeah, it's actually pretty rare to not bag them yourself.
[QUOTE=Jeep-Eep;41841939]No, it's just saying that they've had a habit of shilling for corporate causes and should be considered a tainted source.[/QUOTE] Well then the original sources must be examined. Where are they?
[QUOTE=woolio1;41842006]Actually, Wal-Mart now does the bag your own groceries thing... So, yeah, it's actually pretty rare to not bag them yourself.[/QUOTE] except Wal-Mart is not a grocery store Even if it has a grocery It is rare for an actual grocery not to have baggers
