So yeah... I've never been a fan of this place. I have always hated the narrow aisles. I have always hated the cheap plastic carts that feel like they were designed for people 1/4 my size plus you can never find one with that 'good cart' feel; don't look surprised, you know exactly what I'm talking about!. I've always hated that the majority of people that shop in my area never have a full head of teeth. It has always been the epitome of what disgusts me.
Over-sized people.
Under-sized carts.
Over-sized lines.
Under-sized aisles.
Over-sized store.
Under-sized prices.
It is not just me, and it is probably the worst ratio of things to put into a store and market but women seem to love it. Just about every individual man I have ever talked to feels just about the same way. Plus, it never really felt right 'feeding the monster'.
Well, I guess someone there took note. We just had one of the Super-biggun-Wal*farts open up close to me. So, not only can you buy some clothes and unnecessary off-brand 3-lb bags of crunchies, but you can do it along with your regular shopping and auto parts. Oh yeah, and you can also pick up some electronics, flowers, and curtains to decorate your home, too! Yippie!
Jokes aside... this one has normal-people carts and aisles. There is enough room that I can steer clear of the behemoths that are frequent shoppers and their fe-mullets.
Next to that off-brand SPAM, you can actually find a Deli stocked with real meats and cheeses. Next to "Bob's VCR" you can find a legitimate Blu-ray player. And next to that gamble-of-a-box Spartans... you can buy a real gladiator in a Trojan.
So, I may still get that skin-crawling-I'm-going-to-catch-a-disease feeling when I walk in, at least I know I won't leave totally pissed off, which I guess is good enough for me.

Eh... I'll still avoid it as much as possible. As long as I can buy enough of my stuff online, I'll stick to Safeway for the rest of the groceries.
Another point I've noticed about that particular store chain is that they all start off being nice-ish when they open, but systematically, they all get worn down into dirty, disgusting and disorganized crap-holes. They just don't care enough to pay for quality cleaning services. While I can appreciate that they're instead focusing on maintaining a lean staff in favor of being able to pass the savings along to you, I can't stand seeing empty (pilfered) food containers scattered about.
