I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but in Sherman the Wal-Mart is always incredibly crowded. There is a Super K-Mart just across the road and it's almost never busy. Leandra always shopped at Wal-Mart because it was cheaper. It is, however, maddening and time consuming, so I suggested she start shopping at K-Mart.

After her first trip to K-Mart she was singing its praises. She said "It was wonderful, it wasn't crowded at all. The lines were short, and I got a good parking space." Then she deadpanned "I just don't see how they stay in business."

Ouch!
