It seems to me like the discount places are made to make cleaning kind of superfluous, like you wouldn't notice if they were dirty. So you have the industrial shelving, the thick latex paint on the poured concrete walls, the unfinished concrete floors, it all looks like Home Despot.
The thing that always hits me at the food courts in these places -- even Target -- are those hot dogs on the rollers, with the little bubbles in the coating of goo. And that snotlike cheese stuff they put on the nachos. Brrr.
BJ's (huh huh uhuhuh) actually had Hebrew National or something like that. Man, I thought I was at Costco. That was the life.
I'm surprised though what you think of Micky D's -- they're always good for a clean bathroom.
And amen on the Walmart clothing. I think some of their name brands have stuff made at a different factory that churns out crappy stuff.
