There is never a day nor time where I have to avoid Rite-Aid.

How's the t-bone there?

I actually go to Winco for my produce these days. Prices are out of this world and selection is pretty good, but shopping there can make Costco look like Club Med.

I've only been to a Winco once. I think I was the only one there not paying with food stamps.

one by me is staffed with morons and people that would consider tanner young. if there are 2 people in line, it will be at least 10 minutes to check out. hate shopping there.

Beer prices good?

And I don't get Ikea. I haven't been in one for a decade, but at the time it all seemed like dorm room crap. When my daughter's off to college, I'll head back to Ikea.

Oh yeah, it's precisely the kind of store where you'd find kids running around barefoot.

But damned if their prices aren't outstanding.

not worth waiting the extra 10 minutes to save $1 on the same 12 pack I can get at Safeway across the street, with easier parking.

Portland sounds neat

It really isn't.

Yeah yeah yeah, they let you drink beer in the strip clubs up there yet?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I love this girl. Not sure if she is the worst bartender ever or the best. Really pics up at 1:07 or so.

This comment: If I asked a bartender for an old fashioned and they handed me a pint glass full of bourbon I wouldn't even be mad.

My wife likes it for housewares and stuff like that. I HATE Ikea furniture (assembling cheap crap made out of MDF with a Allen wrench is my version of Hell), but we have gotten a few cheap things for the kds' rooms there.

But this is the best thing at Ikea.

Negative.

But if we are grading places to live based on the quality of strip clubs, Houston and Tampa are the best places on Earf.

Tommy's characterization is just a little bit off, but you've seen the guys politics and to be fair, he was born and raised in Wamic.

I am never going to learn how to make an old fashioned.

Muddle an orange slice, cherries, bitters. And then pour 2-liters of bourbon into a Super Big Gulp cup filled with ice. Then pour the mixture into a Big Gulp cup. Proceed to get crapfaced while you clean up the mess with a Shamwow.

 

[General Malaise]

I've never been a huge fan of Costco or Sam's. The slightly lower prices on some things don't justify making a special trip when there are 2 grocery stores 1/4 mile away.

But they're so nice to me there. And the grocery store checkout people basically spit on me and wipe their genitals on my grocery bags.

The Vons by my house is right across from a "Seniors Only" neighborhood (aka No Blood Alley). At least twice a month I am ask by some customer (who probably remembers when you got your vittles at the mercantile) to help them get something off of a shelf that's like 5 feet off the ground.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Avg weight of shopper at Costco, includes women & children, is about 250. Only Disneyland has a higher number

this doesn't make any sense

and completely disregards walmart

,sand Sam's Club is the Walmart of Club stores. No way Costco shoppers are heavier than people who are probably lunching at McDonalds every day because they can't afford healthier options.

"my" Walmart has a McDonald's inside it. It's the first thing you encounter inside the front door

 

[strykerpks]

Great, now I want an old fashioned.

And some eggs

Nothing incites the passions of GMTANers (who don't live in NYC) like discussing big box retailers.

A guy at work said he stopped on the side of the road to pooh and wiped with a shamwow.

hey- I like talking Ikea. I take the ferry there, because #### cars. yeah. and it's free. because I'm cheap and broke. and my wife needs straws.

but fish is dangling what has been an expertly crafted lead up to... something... right there for us.

 

[Frostillicus]

I live across the street from a CVS. Super convenient if I need something fast, but I can't imagine shopping there on any kind of regular basis. All of the food items on the shelf are typically past their expiration date. There's no employees around and all the registers are self-checkout, so it's pretty fun when you're waiting line behind someone who can't figure out how to use it. The markup on just about everything they carry is through the roof.

Drug stores are pretty much the worst.

It's where I buy most of my beer and wine. Their prices and selection are ideal for me. I also get nice parking spot, know all the employees and never ever have to wait in any kind of long line. I'm in and out of there quickly and with the comfort knowing I saved money on my booze purchase.

Plus all the butters.

Yeah, there's a membership fee for them to be nice to me.

I don't get the point you're making here. How does that show us that Costco shoppers are fatter than everywhere else and all riding around on scooters because they are too heavy to walk?

That was Tommy's point. My aggravation has less to do with the size of the people and more to do with the lollygagging nature of other patrons who make it difficult to maneuver. Also not a fan of long lines to pay.

But to say there are no scooters nor fat people at Costco is pretty silly. They're at Costco just like they are everywhere else. Are there more at Walmart? Sure, but there's also no cover charge at Walmart and while I'm not sure about this, I would bet there are many more Walmart stores in America.

I am member of Costco. I will go to to Costco. I just find it to be a hassle compared to other shopping experiences.

nobody said there are "no fat people at Costco". pretty sure the ridiculous statement that Costco shoppers (including women and children) average 250 pounds and are heavier than shoppers at every other retailer is what started this whole conversation.

To be fair to Tommy, his Costco (I'm assuming SE 84th?) isn't exactly in the heartland of physical fitness.

The one close to me isn't littered with fat people, but it is heavily populated by a certain ethnic classification of humans who fairly or unfairly have a stigma of being rather poor drivers. That stereotype tends to extend to their shopping cart behavior, which makes it rather difficult navigate at times. In addition, the general lack of awareness about personal space which some people tend to cherish is on full display at this particular Costco, which can be a tad obnoxious. I've been in mosh pits with less human contact.

thank you. and yes to the bolded.

if you're not familiar with Portland, where GM lives is basically filled with either vietnamese, chinese, japanese, thai, indian or pakistanis that mostly work for Intel or they own their own donut/noodle shops and don't pay taxes. we call that "the westside"

where I live, "the eastside" is where all the meth, all the crack, all the hookers and all the fat people live. There is no middle class, you're either stupid rich and fat, or mind numbingly poor and fat, or about to starve to death rail thin (those people don't go to costco). If you like fat hookers on meth in the costco parking lot where you can ride your rascal up and have a transaction, the eastside is for you.

Moving to Portland, big fan of the Asiaticed womens and of one stop shopping for large quantities of consumables along with getting my crack whores. Nice to have them all in one location. If they have Mexican day laborers in the parking lot all the better. A cheap hummer on the way in from an infectious whore, some chips, pickles and meats once inside along with enough antiseptic and antibiotics to counteract the whore encounter, pick up some crack on the way out, grab a Mexican to do my chores while I smoke up my rocks, that's a pretty nice Saturday right there.

While waiting on taxi driver story....

Slightly worse bartender than Jane Beam above

Debating on whether or not the smell of eggs would bother me or not while making love with a Mexican cab driver. What kind of eggs, Annoying?

I'd have to make mine in a shot glass if I used your method. it sucks being half Irish.

Over easy? That's how I imagined it, since she's screwing a guy she met in her cab.

Had a nice big piece of cool lettuce on one of the best sliders I've ever had from a food cart in Portland this week. The lettuce really balanced out the roasted jalapeño and the bacon.

That's not a real thing. It's a hoax like the Piltdown Man, the Voynich Manuscript and the Erie Doctrine.
