They closed the JC Penneys at our end of the mall nearly a year ago, but we're getting a Wegman's in its place. I'm very psyched for having a good place to get food right close by, as the food court is at the other end of the mall from me. It takes 10 minutes to get there, get food and get back, and by that time my break's nearly over. Wegman's next door is gonna be a godsend. That is, until people try to bring shopping carts in our store and we'll have to tell them it's a no-no. Also sending their kids to go play at the lego store while mommy shops for grapefruit.

The difference is though that local gas stations all generally get the same poo poo from the local refinery whereas WalMart absolutely uses its clout to get suppliers to do poo poo they wouldn't ordinarily do just special for WalMart. Idk I bought some meat from WalMart in college because it was cheaper and my poo poo was green for 3 days and so was my vomit later that night and that was lesson enough.

yeah bc all agriculture products are identical and produce departments don't inspect deliveries in order to reject old/bad stuff. like WalMart doesn't deliberately buy the cheapest meat the supplier has to offer

come on man, that one bitch idiot screeching about things he intuited was enough wal mart gets the same poo poo as any other place. The produce looks worse because the amount of people digging through it and the lack of manpower to upkeep it and if you got sick from meat, congratulations I've gotten sick from Whole Foods Pure 100% Organic Bullshit before and it doesn't speak to whole foods as it's an anecdote based on 0.00000000000000000001% of the meat they have ever sold.

Yeah no poo poo the national brand stuff is the same lol, a LEGO set is a LEGO set. But bro I'm sorry but I've worked in the food industry for years and the notion of "all food deliveries are the same, everyone gets the same stuff" is just abject loving nonsense  Food suppliers themselves will consciously give stores that don't inspect or care much about the stock shittier older food knowing they can get away with it. I'm sure there are WalMarts with great food departments but you're insisting that universally they all get the same poo poo as anyone else which I find hard to believe. The stock I reject in my restaurant's food delivery absolutely gets sold to someone else, it's not just tossed. Moridin920 has a new favorite as of 21:21 on Aug 29, 2016 |

Nobody is arguing those points. The point that in some cases and circumstances they do sell substandard goods compared to other places has literally nothing to do with "I got sick from some meat so they sell garbage meat, and their produce is special already expired and poor quality produce because I know a restaurant" They get the same food as anywhere else in regards to produce, fruit and meat and there is no mechanism to get cheap peaches that are almost rotted or something or ability to sell expired anything because regardless of all of you wanting to intuit evilness there are still checks and balances in place to prevent that kind of thing, lose people their jobs and provide constant checks and penalties.

For example, Carlsbad only produces so many strawberries and butter lettuces per harvest; retailers want them in their stores because 'locally sourced' and restaurants are also wanting those items.

I'm sure your lovely restaurant buys garbage food nobody else wants to save $400 on a night or something, but a big box retailer is getting literal tons per day of freight.

And the reason they do that is largely based on specific store traffic, shittier stores with shittier sales aren't getting the top of the line premium things, which isn't being argued and applies to all retailers universally you are somehow simultaneously arguing that nationwide food networks decide selectively who gets what quality items, yet are arguing that it's a wal mart specific conspiracy to put forth the cheapest poo poo possible, with someone who worked right there doing exactly what you are talking about is telling you that you are loving wrong from first hand experience in the thing you are talkign about.

Walmart actively strong arms companies to cut prices wherever possible to the point where companies that actually make good products have Walmart specific models that are loving horrendous when it comes to quality and function. Never buy if it's a model only available at Walmart, regardless of brand name. That's a dead giveaway that you're buying something lovely.
