    I despise wallyworld. They have about 15 things that we can’t get anywhere else. We only buy those items. Fortunately its not that often.

    They were very smart on how they developed. Their stores were built cheaply and efficiently. Depreciate the construction costs, etc., they are formidable, but if the people don't come, it doesn't matter.

    Look at their deli. It's garbage. Just F garbage.

    Tic toc, tic toc.

    They succeed in part due to the low foreheads of our society. They only gotta find their way to one place. Then they can go home, play on the pc, or whatever.

    I asked one of the girls at this agent which off ramp they were ( She's been there since I've been dealing with them - 3 years ), " Uh. Ummmm. I'm not sure. There's a trailer out front."

    Now a response like that has The OM going, "Holy JFC. How the F does she get to work everyday?"

    That's about 95% or better of our society.

    One aspect of the Wallyworld corporation is how they take down quality name brands. Manufacturers want to sell product to them because of the size. Years ago when Sam was alive, it was considered a good move to have your product in that store. Not so now.

    And they only buy when it's at a monetary value. You might see an item out of stock for weeks at a Walmart.

    Walmart is big and has a lot of money, OR they have made a lot. They've taken it in the ### in the stock market too.

    Being that big, means HUGE overhead as well.

    Wouldn't take too long for that to go south in a hurry either.

    Fry's matches their prices on everything almost, and as far as quality of meat, produce, deli, dairy, and customer service it's night and day.

    Safeway is way behind. Their people would still rather take their ten minute break than ring up your gallon of milk. Customer service = ####. How many times does that need to happen before you don't shop there?

    Ours have been closed since we shut off the sandbar to all visitors. My wife's hotel has no guests but their taking reservations, for down the line, not til at lest June I think she said. The other property her company owns is open but only to folks who need to be here..contractors, medical, etc etc. Basically essential people. I think every other hotel is shut down to unless their housing people that need to be here. My wife is the Gm of hers, good an bad. Job security but she has to be on site to do her work,.

    I asked her if she's bored, her reply was.."It gives me time to make masks when I have down time. " She's already donated a bunch to the hospital here, the vets, an other places that need them.

    Weird not having my beaches an roads all clogged up with traffic and tourists, but I won't lie...I'm enjoying the #### out of it.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - Wants Papa John's but his local one is closed. Curse you Dave! /raise fist
