Hmm. That is awful. <br /> <br />They have these so called self check outs now. You will do it yourself. What gets me is that the bags go on a pad and in the data base is the EXACT weight of every item. One lady tried to sneak a few more tic tacks into her bag and the computer in a loud voice said "Unauthorized item in bag, please remove from bag and rescan" She did not know how it works and her eyes got THIS BIG. he he. <br /> <br />IF they open a walmart with a grocery store in my town they will not be able to compete with my local grocery chain. My local Grocery chain is family owned and they ship thru a non-union food distrubition system and buy thier milk and eggs locally. The meat comes in from the state and is cut in store. Wal mart ships meat in from large ranches out west. <br /> <br />In regards to prices, I have only this to say...When Microsoft's Train Stimulator first came out a few years ago retail was about $58.00. I waited 9 months. The price fell to 29.00 and another 4 months finally down to 19.00 I bought it. Worth it too. On software when prices hit 19.00 (Or actually 18.70 - Trade secret for items to be discontinued) it's time to buy it before it's gone. <br /> <br />Walmart for me impacts my Trucking experience with support for being able to say... go to Laramie Wyoming (One of my favorite brands of bacon can be gotten there) load up on 100 dollars worth of food and head out west. Totally independant of the truckstop. My spouse would cook while I drove. Saved us a great deal of money. <br /> <br />I wonder if Railroad crews get to cook while on the rails. Surely that big deisel can offer 110 volts at 60 hertz for the coffee pot and steak broiler. <br /> <br />Just my two cents <br /> <br />Lee
