e: how many people did you have to walk up to and ask if you could scan their receipt to save that $16 anyway?

None. When you return your cart, just look for the mile-long $300 receipts in the other carts that the person couldn't be bothered to scan or throw away in its proper place. Works great when they buy a poo poo-load of soda because that's the one thing supermarkets beat Walmart on price and where you can get quite a bit of cash back.

That is exactly what the neighborhood market campaign was designed to do. They never planned to keep the markets open for decades. they wanted to build small stores with low investment, which would kill the Walgreen's across the street, and then they'd shut it down and dump it cheap to the city, knowing the Walgreens was closed and everybody was now driving to the Supercenter a few miles away.

Probably yeah, but the one that got shut down was an old super-center that had been around for years in a middle of nowhere type spot.

I think the only reason it was shut down was so that they could build a slightly larger supercenter literally a street away, likely for some sort of arcane tax code or business rule or some crap like that.

Either way, its a nice library.

yeah, same thing. store rotation, upsizing, cost-to-remodel-this-outweighs-new-store-costs-once-you-factor-in-new-solar-panel-tax-breaks, all that. I don't doubt that they have plans through at least 2040 for poo poo like this

Interestingly enough, Walgreens demolished all this poo poo on a very busy state route street corner in a town next to mine. Then after they built the actual building, Walgreens decided they didn't want it anymore. So now there's this big new and empty Walgreens shaped building just sitting there.

I spent like $120 today at Walmart. I bought some clearance stuff that sells for ~400ish on Amazon, which is where I plan to resell all this crap and should roughly double my money in profits.

A walmart in my home town got shut down so they could build a different walmart somewhere else, and the city bought the building and turned it into a pretty nice public library so at least one good thing has indirectly come from walmart.

So shut down all walmarts everywhere and convert them into public service areas is what I'm saying.

This is a drat good idea shut down every walmart and convert it to a public service area.
