Bwahahahaha!

It's like sitting in a NYC/Westside cafe and sniggering about people from Idaho.

No, it's like walking into any Walmart in the USofA.

I like Walmart. Let's go SHHHHHOPPPPPPPING!!!!!

p.s. Seriously though, I found it fantastic. The concept of 'If you buy 12, we give you 30% off'. What's not to like about that? Go once a quarter, and load up on all your staples.

Compare with SG. 'Oh shall I buy a 16Oz jar of Dolmio sauce, or a 10Oz one, but what if I waste it, but then, what if I can stretch it to two meals... [etc], meanwhile back in NJ, Buddy is loading up his 240 toilet-roll jumbo-super-special-buy into his trunk.
