What's a store you dislike, but you still shop at anyway?

For me, Walmart. They are really inconsistent in that sometimes the store will be stocked all nice and professionally, and other times it's like the employees just don't care. So annoying.

Another one is Jewel-Osco. They've been known for years to have some of the highest prices in the area, but they are [b]everywhere[/b] and are the most convenient grocery store for me.
@GunFinger too soon. I’m still salty.

Same. I hate going there but sometimes they are the only option. When they replaced the greeters with the cop wannabes who check receipts on your way out, that spoke volumes about what they think of their customers.
@Bearsfan67 There was an older guy at the one I go to who would say "Helloooo!", all enthusiastically to people as they were coming in. I think he may have retired, though.

@Bearsfan67 Wow, if any store I shopped in demanded to see my receipt on the way out, I'd be straight to customer service demanding a refund on everything I'd just bought! 😡

I loved Walmart when it first moved to my area. It was a nice little store with good quality items at reasonable prices. Then... it became a super store and the items we'd depended on were suddenly no longer there and neither was customer service. I could go on and on with stories about what happened to me and my friends there, but will spare you. I haven't been back in ages.
Same. Walmart. Bit of a real love hate, since it’s also where I met my wife.

Walmart grocery. Always busy, never enough lanes open, they always move things around so it takes longer to get what I need. Sadly it's the closest grocery store for me.
I have really thought about joining one of those online grocery sites.

I do 80% of my shopping online anyway.

I went into a Target the other day for the first time in a long time and it was like a third world country in there.
@SW-User That's shocking because Target is supposedly "upscale".

@latinbutterfly it is Targèt now!

The hairpie store.

What they provide is deliciously worth 1000 years of hassle and second guessing! 😝

Good Lord did I really write that? 🥺

In the spirit of the Mexicools - I am embarrassed

HEB, a Texas grocery store. They have good things, but I don't like the way our local store is organized.
Home god damn it Depot. It's often the best place to get something, but it's disorganized and insulting.

Walmart is evil. I still shop there because it's convenient and usually has good prices.
Safeway
Walmart
Target
A variety of reasons really.

I absolutely [b]hated[/b] Albertsons because they merged (or bought) Lucky’s where I’d always shopped and marketed it as some kind of "wedding", which was lame.
Albertsons (at least the ones here) were badly managed and dirty, whereas the Lucky’s had always been
immaculate.
Walmart, too, but I’ve used their online services for the convenience.
@DarkHeaven Oh, wow ! How did I not know that ? Really cool. 🤗
@bijouxbroussard I still kinda hate Walmart (just the store and how they are) in some ways, but it does hold a special place in my heart. 🖤🤗
@bijouxbroussard even after years, over five now for me and you… we still learn new things. And that’s cool. I love you so much, my incredible friend.

Jewel-Osco sounds fancy af
@SkeetSkeet They have good stuff but you really pay for it.
tiggerandariel13 · 41-45, MVIP
@latinbutterfly when I lived in Chicago my parents would always go Jewel ti was close for them do shopping
@tiggerandariel13 We had a Jewel Osco near us, but we usually went to Fairplay on Cermak and Western.
