"Wal-Mart: A Wretched Hive of Scum" from Something Awful |
|
www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=4359
Lee's Summit, Missouri used to pretty much revolve around a single Wal*Mart up until the mid-90s, at which point the fancy shmancy Target opened up and started selling upper class, rich person things like packages of ground beef that weren't pre-opened / pre-tasted, or pants which had both leg holes accessible. Soon the affluent, snooty folks began flocking towards the Target and their wide assortment of arcane, mysterious objects collected from across the globe, such as the obscure "olive oil" and an oddity to Missouri natives, "wheat bread."
good stuff...

1. Our area is so upscale that we have a Bed Bath and Beyond |
|
But for a true transcendent shopping experience you have to go to Costco.

The true aristocrat is seen only at Sears. Upholding the traditions, don'tcha know.
