who is living the lie? and what lie are they living?

It's a combination of both.

which is what they hide behind. Your daughter wears a short skirt because it's hot outside or to get attention? Combination of both, but is it 50/50 or 90/10?

I think this is a "liberals are the real racists" thread.

How many times do you actually interact with random folks at your neighborhood grocery store

it's about being seen. Being seen in a whole foods is a form of networking. You wear it like a brand name jacket...."oh, nice jacket, I have one just like it"

I started on page one. It might just be me but I am not living a lie. I don't care to mingle with trashy people regardless of their race. It seems that your 'liberal' friends who earn a lower middle class income also want to be around sophisticated and/or non trashy people regardless of income level. One does not have to earn $100+ a year to be allowed to care about social graces, cleanliness, appearance, tact, decorum, etc..

Perhaps your friends like to associate with people, irrespective of income, who share the same values. Perhaps they value it enough to be willing to pay extra for it?

where does the fact that whole foods has much better food than other grocery stores play into this?

---

That just means that Whole Foods is racist since they charge more for their 'better food' in order to keep the poor black man down.

Troll.
But since you asked, I don't shop at Whole Check because I don't like snobby assholes running over me with their grocery carts.

What I don't understand are the complaints about the so called riff Raff that frequents Walmart. How many times do you actually interact with random folks at your neighborhood grocery store or any store for that matter? Just shop for your groceries and go about your way. You can easily shop for your items and not say a word to one folk there.

I've seen dirty diapers, people's weave that fell out of their head, fist fights, yelling/screaming, etc. all just in the parking lot of WalMart when I used to go. I've never seen that at my small local grocery... and it is even located next to an all black barber shop. Still.. no issues. This isn't a race thing.

Pretty much every time I visit WalMart (~4 times a year), I leave fuming. I've had some random man try to start a fight with me because I was in "his" aisle.. I ALWAYS have to wait in some long line with 10 people with baskets filled to the brim.. produce and food never looks worth a shite..

I went to WalMart on Thursday to get some clear tarp to hang around the patio for the crawfish boil we were having that day. Nobody was around to help me find the shite even though I was told originally that it was in camping when it wasn't. When I finally got my shite, I had the option of standing in line forever or going to self checkout. Went to self checkout and the first item I rang up triggered a call for assistance. Lady was standing next to me but didn't actually come help until I said something to her. She typed in her little code and when I went to pay and slide my CC, the CC machine FELL OFF THE WALL because it wasn't actually secured on there. Woman just looked at me and didn't care so I picked it up, scanned my card, and let the machine fall back to the ground. frick WalMart.
