They all suck compared to Fairsley Foods.
We have an Aldi's in town. I've never been in it, but I heard there is a $0.25 deposit on the grocery cart.
As for paying for plastic bags, yes, everywhere, ask the greenfagmovement about that, it's supposed to somehow save the planet by costing us money ,like everything they come up with....

^ true they do have you put a quarter deposit for a cart
The 'deposit' is commonplace here, only know one supermarketchain that doesn't do it, you just push a coin in a plastic lock attached to a chain attached to the other carts ( yeah, it's much simpler when you see it ) its more of an incentive to get people to return the cart to the store entrance and not just leave them in the parkinglot.....
You have to put a Euro into the slot here.
I use a foldable crate for shopping, btw. No need for bags.
It's not a Walmart clone in concept. The stores are much smaller and the range of products too. They still concentrate on groceries, with a few extras.If this Aldi place is in fact a overseas version of the same thing then neither is worth defending or shopping at
Walmart isn't really grocery focused at all. The ones I have been in usually have a larger clothing department than food section. More food centered would be like the wholesale club stores, the popular one in my area is called BJ's (Yes, that is really what it is called) and then sells some other things too like electronics clothes and houseware things, but they have a good 1/3 the store for food walmart maybe would have 1/5 at best.It's not a Walmart clone in concept.

But in my opinion, the second part of your sentence is entirely correct.
And having to pay for a bag is not a bad thing. Just bring your own crate/bag/backpack or whatever and save a few ressources without any loss in comfort (actually, bringing a backpack improves the comfort on the way home for me ).

There are a shitload of different stores of that, and lots of smaller more like walmart stores like target as well. I actually maybe set foot in walmart once a year because if I want to go to that sort of store someplace like target is a billion times better.
So the Food Center doesn't have low prices then?
And the right entrance is sometimes a Food Center.
They do, I guess, but it does come at the price of your soul.
True, I haven't been to Wal-Mart in a year or so. I was just going off of the photo.
I prefer to shop at a regional chain called Price Cutter. Mainly because the one nearest to me (and closer than any Wally World) has Mexican Coca-Cola and apple soda.
You missed the joke. Twice.
