I was mapping my first trip to Wal*Mart ever, (crazy, I know) and I found this, which I thought was interesting.

Yeeesh-- what a crappy website. I hate Mall-Wart as much as the next guy, actually probably more, but I'm pretty sure from the grammar and style of that page that its designer is suffering from schizophrenia.

Luckily for me there is a nice "Foodland" about a 4 blocks from me that is easy walking distance, sells speciality items that Wal-Mart doesn't sell. It tends to cater to the "upper class" people in the Greenmont area.

The only grocery store in this area that sells Chianti.

It costs a bit more than the Wal-Mart sometimes. But it's worth it to not have to play shopping car shuffle with the whole town.

You'll come to find out people drive in the parking lots like the push their shopping cart around.

The closest one is 40 minutes away, so I needed to know how to get there. The sheer incompetence of the employees was amazing. I bought a car that had a walmart battery which crapped out, so I had them replace it. I brought it in, and after they determined the battery was dead, it took almost an hour to get it exchanged.
