You've outdone yourself with this post, Goonie!
Just wondering, is there now a WalMart in Northern Illinois?
Of course there are! I think it's the Official State [-]Bird[/-]...[-]Tree[/-]....[-]Lizard[/-]....[-]Fish[/-].....Store...that's it the Official State Store! And in keeping with that, I won't shoot the State Bird....cut down the State Tree....Make belts out of the State Lizard....pan fry the State Fish....or. heaven forbid.....shop at the State Store! I'd rather have a root canal, than shop at Wally World! Although I admit (grudgingly) that I do take my
Mom there every 3 months to pick up one of
her prescriptions.
Anyway, Wally's built his World in just about every community around here that has breathing people. We have 4 within 15-25 miles...and a 5th one is supposed to get built in a town 15 miles south of us. And there's another 6 or 8 within a 25-40 mile radius. Oh, and by the way.....they're ALL "Super Centers"......whoopy-ding! I use to tolerate our old "regular" Wally World, but utterly detest the "Super" series.....They have far less variety, but more of it....and I don't think
any of the employees have a clue where
anything is located....or else they're just minions of the local physicians, who pay them under the table to send shoppers on 'wild goose chases' just so the shoppers will get their recommended daily allowance of exercise like their doctors have told them to get.
Plus, with many (most) of their clothing, housewares, tools, hardware, and that sorta stuff made in China, Bangladesh, and other fur'un countries.....I'm a bit worried where their food products originate from, and am therefore quite hesitant to by groceries there. Heck, if I want Chinese food, I'll go somewhere where they have real, authentic Chinese food.....like Sven & Pablo McPherson's Peking Dragon Chinese Restaurant & Pizzeria!
