They can't get them to be Supers in a lot of areas thanks to the union teaming up with the local councils. They desperately need one in California, people there are getting absolutely reamed on prices by the local supers. I went to a few in the San Diego and was literally letting out a laugh at some of the prices. After you shop at Super WM you take prices for granted, only to find back in the world of the supermarket things that you pay $2 for go for $3.69. Besides just the obvious higher taxes and rent/mortgage you pay in SD, I would have to spend about 50-75% more on groceries as well. Yet all the city council types who beg and cajole, even threaten, developers to build "low-cost" housing shut the door on the same people getting lower cost groceries by slamming the door on a Super WM or any other non-union grocery store.

some people are unapproachable seymour...those are the ones i was most afraid of. but, this was a generally nice crowd...i dont know, maybe it was the christmas spirit in the air. or, maybe all the undesirables were playing bingo in the back. we'll probably never know and frankly...i dont want to know. this experience was awesome and that's how i'd like to remember it.

i dont remember seeing any groceries but...they may have been there. the whole day is blur, if you want to know the truth.
the more i think about it, the more i want to go back and get that air hockey table. its one of those things that you loved but your forgot about...then when you see it again, you cant stop thinking about it. you know, like grilled cheese....
i can tell it's not a superstore by the picture...super walmarts are 10-20 times better than that ghetto one you are going to and understand why you thought the way you did and many others on here....need to visit a superstore....i honestly didn't think the old ones still existed until i got down here to FL a year ago.
