Pontificate!
Sam's Club? *Sam's Club???* Ooooo - very nice, Mr Hoity-Toity I'm So Bourgeois I Go To Sam's Club. Why don't you just go polish your monocle you Opera-attending aristocrat you.
I go to BJ's. Now *that's* the place to go to see the real average American. Every waist measurement guaranteed higher that its owner's IQ, and that includes the pets.
Sounds like Aldi in the UK...
Sounds horrifically like Lidl. Go there at your peril.
Sounds like a fucking nightmare is what it sounds like. Tesco's sounds like a village shop in comparison. Just sounding things out here.
I'm a Waitrose man myself. You get a better sort of rude checkout girl there.
Oh maannn, laughing soo hard my gut HURTETH!! We have a Sam's Club right here in town, and I have studiously avoided it for the same reason... I am sure you won't be surprised to find that good ol' Wally World OWN'S Sam's Club. I think they poof out glue scent in the air ducts...makes for more free-spending zombies, you know.
And I am not making THIS up... I know a lady that PURPOSELY goes to Sam's on Wednesdays JUST to feed her kids lunch.. from the freebee stalls... scary huh? And yah, her waist is bigger than her IQ...lol.lol
What, what, what are you guys talking about? I love Sam's Club and my children have been on free-sample lunches there daily, since they started solids. That's not true, of course. I've had to switch to Costco every other day because the staff were beginning to recognize us.
But most of all I love the awesome hugeness of it all. I, a small Outer Hebridonian, can only look around in wonder at this Cathedral of Consumerism. One finds one eyes are drawn UP by the collonaded, stacked garden furniture, until they rest, and can feast on the intricate filligree of the open duct-work. It is only in Sam's Club that I am free to contemplate: how small is man in God's great universe! How large a mega, multi-pack of cornflakes can one person reasonably require?
And, my God, the bargains! "Look Dave! A hundredweight of prunes! And there! A multi-mega pack of Tylenol - a good buy, and handy should we have to fell an elephant.
It's shopping heaven people!
Sami - is there a Hebrides outside of Scotland... Because if not I find it hard to believe that there would be a Sam's Club there. Surely Spar and the Co-Op still have the duopoly?
Lidl's must be the best shop ever.
The bits in the middle where you get the cheap tools and slippers and wellies and fishing rods. Their drink's a bit crap right enough, but what about the funny foreighn biscuits and the weird crisps and chocolate? Brilliant.
Yes, yes, yes, perhaps BJ's, Aldi, Lidl, et al., are similar stores, but do any of them come complete with hordes of ZOPEGs? (Zombies Of Prodigious Equatorial Girth).
These are relatively benign creatures(unless you are one of those poor employees that have to hand out the food samples, in which case you’d better count your fingers between servings), but they are maddening.
Thanks for the kind words, Red. We don’t have a Cosco’s here, but I prefer them to Sam’s Club. Cosco’s plays classical music that goes well whenever I am indulging in a little shopping trolley ultra-violence.
Sami, are you sure we're talking about the same stores?
Dr E:Our Costcos have no music. Not in the air, not in their hearts.
Sam's is close-by, and I must admit we buy all our non-perishables there.
I find the human cattle mooing through the aisles along side me to be about the same breed I see in any shopping center.
Human cattle.... cattle prod shopping trollies....
You're a genius SafeT!
Dr E: Since I don't understand, I can only conclude you are giving me more credit than I deserve.
Sweet! Free credit!
