Spokane WA: People are "Camping" at WalMart without Artichoke Hearts

Despite his tough veneer, Patrick J. Lynch didnt needlessly sleep outside: "My idea of camping is bad room service." In honor of that sentiment, here is the opposite of our recent review of the Hotel des Indes in The Hague.  People are camping at WalMart.  

Apparently, WalMart is the only one of the major big boxes that openly allows free "camping" in their parking lots. 

 

We circumnavigated each of our four local WalMarts at dawn in a white jacket by Italian motorcycle just to keep our perspective.  Each WM had more than five but fewer than ten sleeping-over vehicles.

Probably half Washington plates, but many Canadians -- BC, Ontario and Quebec. Saw a few of these people emerge to walk their next dinners and waft into the store.

 

Some of these people are not on vacation. Sam and his clintonian band of wealthy but still in arkansas siblings should be commended for their GWB-approved "faith based initiative."  Presumably there is some (ignored) regulation applicable to these quasi-commercial sleep-overs.   Are community organizers for this practice or against it?

 

Is Costco any better?  Costco has a more "upscale" reputation, with its Utah-saloon-style membership system and Michelin tires next to the imported cheese. This hummerpiloting slimjimmunching cellphonefattie just about hit me standing there in my reflective vest with glowsticks taking this photo.

We dont shop at either place, but should we?  We experimented with a simple staple of the 6000footdrop diet the coure di carciofo.  We got stubbed into a Costco by an elite member and put on a disguise entering a WM to experiment.  Would they both have Artichoke Hearts (marinated or not, sliced or not, baby or not, or bottoms, or fresh artichokes?)  Costco had them by the pallet.  

 

WalMart was carciofo free. But WalMart had these all of these cans with matter and cadmium.

 

This is as exotic as it got at WalMart in the fancy foods section.

Plus WalMart had this product made from chinese baby formula factory floor sweepings. (Apparently now with less fat -- remember, fat requires an animal product.)

 

But Costco isnt all hummer and glamour like it thinks it is.  This Costco man obviously had one thing and one thing only on his mind. 

   

 And he found it!

 

Some economists say society would be much better off it it paid considerably more for fuel and food.  See you in the berry patch!
