Ditto on Wal-Mart. I've tried shopping at various Wal-Marts around the city but I see country-fried, corn-pone, look like their momma and daddy could be related type people. I just can't do it.
I tend to be more of a label whore than a store snob. I just can't bring myself to buy generic brands. A friend and I went grocery shopping and he held the generic brand aspirin side by side with the name brand aspirin. He proceeded to read the ingredients aloud and they were exactly the same. I just couldn't bring myself to buy generic aspirin.
I think it comes from a childhood of being raised on Tussin (rather than Robitussin), Fruit Circles (rather than Fruit Loops) and O's (rather than Cheerios). I'm scarred for life.
