the evil empire

ok, so.....i was forced to actual enter the supercenter opening in my work county...on business.......for the record i haven't been in a store in that chain in several years.......and i would not have gone today but for the urgency of the paperwork.....i had mailed off an application from the arkansas head office before leaving for vacation, only to find it back on my desk this morning.....ooops......and so i had to go to the store to view the food items in question on the shelves......with prices clearly marked.....the place is huge.....the kind of space that drains me of all life force......and though their prices are dropping on some item as we speak......my current idea of low prices are those found at the goodwill......i am still reeling over my holiday find.....a leather tote bag/purse for $1.75.. with tag to prove it was never used...... and then there is the aqua cashmere sweater for $2.50.....i really like that sweater....those are what i call good buys.....and the empire cannot even come close.........
