I haven't been inside one in a long time! Probably not since sometime last year!
The one here is a Super Walmart so it's a sprawling mess. Never been to the Marketplace
one, there's also one of those here but I've only ever gone to the big one.
It's a bad time every time for me. I don't know if it's because I have empath-leanings
or what but I feel suffocated when I go into crowded places. And Walmart is usually ALWAYS
heaving with people. So I just do delivery. Which sucks hardcore the last year and a half
because they just don't stock like they used to! It's ridiculous! How ridiculous you ask??
A few weeks ago I wanted a 6pk of regular Snickers bars. Just a pack of six regular-sized
Snickers. NOPE! Had to ship them. Via Fed-Ex!! Dude, the day I got them it was over 100'F
and they were ALL melted and squishy in the package! Good thing they were individually wrapped
inside!! I had to put them in the fridge just to get them to take shape again! How the fuck
are you gonna be the world's BIGGEST DAMN grocery/retail store and not have a simple-ass
pack of Snickers on-hand??
And don't even get me started on the Ben & Jerry's situation!! I've had to go from my 1st choice
to my 2nd, then my 3rd, now my 4th choice is even hit or miss!! Are they phasing that brand out
or what?? But it's not just these "specialty/luxury" items, basic shit like packs of ground beef have
even been difficult to get w/o allowing for substitutions. And a lot of the time the items you choose
as substitutes are unavailable!!
I wouldn't at all be surprized if they shuttered the big store in the near future to the public and
just used it as a collection/delivery hub. OR, no longer offer delivery. Otherwise, it's just gonna
stay a mess like it is currently. So many things are just consistently unavailable. It's bullshit.
