Shopping

Post by thrill »

I'm leaving work now, and I need to go shopping.

I'd like to find some food for a nice tasty dinner, some cool shoes, a knife sharpener, some cool clothes and some home decor.

Why can't I get all of this stuff in one awesome location? I love the process of shopping and getting new things, but I hate malls and I hate driving to multiple stores. I'd like to get home before 8, but if I hit all these places, that's how long I'll be out.

This is a lame rant, but it'd be really cool if someone came out with a legit one-stop shopping department store with actually cool things in it. Something like an Urban Outfitters meets Trader Joe's meets REI or something.

Are you doing stand-up comedy/pimping for Wal-Mart, thrill?

To each his own, but none of that stuff would I find at Wal-Mart. Try Costco, it's very hit or miss there, but at least you'll find the food!

The one here in Springfield has a seafood restaurant called Hemingways, McDonalds and a bunch of snack stands where you can get hot dogs, pretzels, pizza, nachos etc. It's a monster though. Biggest one they have.

Damn. Never been in 1, but I did work in "The Lodge" at Dick's Sporting Goods for a bit and there were some very interesting smells in that section that just tears the appetite out of me
