I don't get, exactly, why it is. But I liked your compassion and whatever speech. It was very nice. I think they do things wrong sometimes. And damage kids.

PS: I'm a 'stocker", too.

I haven't been to a Sams for a couple of years but a friend bought tons of different rices there. I have 3 Sams within 45 miles but also have a Super Walmart 5 miles away. It holds the sales record for hour, day, week, month and year sales. Lots of people there. I make a list and when I get a bunch of items I go at 4 am. I hate crowds. Also find good bargains.

I recall back when we lived in Houston the first time we went to a Sam's. And we got the "warehouse bug" and proceeded to buy gargantuan sizes of everything, cereal, pancake mix, laundry detergent, cat food, carpet cleaner, on and on and on. We had things sticking out the sun roof of the car driving away.

At which point we came to the sudden realization that we had absolutely no room for all this stuff in the house. And many of the gigantic boxes were much too big for their corresponding shelves. We ended up with a pile of gargantuan containers in one corner of the kitchen for several months. People would come over and we'd be asking, hey, you want some bleach? How about some sugar? You got a cat? Have some kitty litter...
