America, for Spacious Aisles.

There's a new WalMart Supercenter out in Rosemead, where I had headed out for a client meeting. It's so huge, it's overwhelming. It also smells like the inside of a new piece of cheap plastic luggage. It would take hours to roam the aisles. At first it seemed like a good idea (and they did have some great prices on HDTVs), but after about 15 minutes under the warehouse flourescent lighting, I started feeling sick. I did pick up some baby food (also inexpensive) and some other crap I had kept forgetting to buy (e.g. shoe polish). To add insult to injury, I had to push my cart past the overwhelming yeasty-bun smell of a McDonald's on the way out the door. It was super big, for sure, but in the end it was super depressing. Oh, and the grocery store had a lot of organic produce, though. That was suprising.
