We live in a small village where WallyWorld (what we call WalMart) is the
biggest joint around.
Have to travel a bit to get to better places like Kroger, Publix, or Ingles.

It was the first time we ever set foot in a WalMart back in April when we
moved up here. I guess I'm stepping up then? Who can tell?

We have discovered the prices are 'sometimes' lower than other places - it's
not always the cheapest, most cost effective place to shop.
The quality of the food is suspect; I think they have a third tier selection
of 'vaguely similar' food.

For instance; Breyer's Ice Cream- one of my vices (dang it). I like
chocolate, and am quite familiar with the flavor, consistency and quality of
the authentic Breyer's version.
The packaging looks the same, the contents read the same, but the quality
and flavor are NOT the same.
Maybe it's 'factory second' quality- the crap they won't sell to the high
line stores (as indicated above). But, I've rarely had a half gallon that
tasted the same as what I was accustomed to, or that was the same as the
last one I bought there at WallyWorld.

I dunno if there's any accuracy about Rubbermade being put out of business
by WalMart, but I do see their stuff in there- so something must be wrong
with that statement in the first place.
Don't much care if someone proffers their opinion here in the forum about an
off topic subject such as this- just take it in stride.
There's no sense making a fuss about it, like today's newspaper- it'll be
wrapping fish tomorrow.

I liked Chuck's questionnaire, but I failed it miserably using my venerable
method learned long ago on taking multiple choice (always pick the first
answer- it gets done quicker, and you don't have to be confused by other
choices. Chances are you get some portion correct.)

HOWEVER- I don't know what "WOB" stands for.
I'm so out of touch.

Tomorrow I invade a Porsche event with my CS!
I love crashing marque parties like this!
Have a great weekend y'all- thanks for the grins.
