Well my one has a good lay out and it tells you the size and weight of the product granted when it comes to fresh items I rather buy them from my local shop to inspect.

As for delivery they do that themselves all I have to do is book the day and time and if I have to go out I can alert them. And they will not leave the goods on the door step if no answer at the door.

As for emails flooding in yes there are some from the shop I order from but its a low volume and no third party emails.

California shocked me as many of the other states also had universities as the largest employer.

The UC president Janet Napolitano (ex-Secretary of Homeland Security ) has been called out for having a $175 million dollar slush fund while asking for more state funds

Been working at my local Walmart for about a week. Hate on them all you want, but they're hiring college students. They provide a full work week, flexible when I need to leave to do Air Force things and will transfer me back when I move back to college in the fall.

Pay starts out 2$ better an hour than most other places hiring locally.

I am certainly not complaining. The company seems to be very friendly and I haven't run into a single person in my store yet that does a half-assed job. More than I can say for the grocery chain I used to work at.

Even though I've only been there a week(ish) I can already tell for sure, from the inside, that there's a reason they're so good at what they do.
