Yup. About 7-8 years ago we got a Supercenter (one of the biggest on the East coast actually), and it's destroyed our mall. Now, inept mall management and a ridiculous amount of vacant stores doesn't help, but Walmart took away a ton of business.

Yeah they typically do where ever they go. Which is why the state I live in now is hell bent against allowing a Super Walmart here. It would destroy all the mom & pop stores and small independently family owned stores up here.

I remember when they came into Chicago, they destroyed WoolWorth, Venture, Zaires, Ames, TruValue and ton of small local movie and music stores.

I clicked all of JNes's spoilers.

What do I win?

I did too, I actually think we lost.

I wish there was a Fred-Meyer in my area. I love that store. Dam place even has a day-care center!

Everytime I'm in the NW, I make it a point to hit that store up.

It's like a target, kroger rolled into one.

*Hmm, I need beer, a new pair of Levis, and case for my sons DS...think I'll head to Fred Meyer.*

LOL that was like my average customer when I worked at a Super Walmart in the midwest. Dads use to come into electronics with 2 cases of beer, some jeans, drill bit and say my son needs a game and they would check out back there in Electronics.

It was rampant that they had put 21 and over workers back there in electronics.

Wal-Mart is the devil.

END OF STORY.

I think most of us can agree with this

Re: Off Topic 2011

Ugh, just got back from the eye exam. Anyone ever have their pupils dilated with eye drops during the exam? It's a couple hours later and they're still dilated, it messes you up a bit. The doc discovered "swollen optical nerves" and wanted to send me to a specialist but when I told him I don't have insurance and am on a tight budget he went with a 2 week checkup instead. It kinda felt like going to a mechanic and dude just starts coming up with random stuff wrong with your car, until you tell him you're broke and suddenly everything's ok.

Its amazing how much "free" stuff you can walk out of a doctor's office if you lay out the "no insurance" thing down.

Move up to Oregon, I swear there's a damned Fred Meyers on every freaking corner.

I'm hoping that NC State fall flat on their face tonight. If that don't happen then a close game with a Louisville win will suffice.

LOL.........that is why I despise all doctors and mechanics. They always seem to find something wrong with you for you can spend additional money and then tell you a doom and gloom story of what might happen if you don't.
