Personally, I'll never shop at Super Wal-Mart, Harris Teeter, or BJs Wholesale because of the way they treat vendors. But that's a bit closer to my heart than most. When you have to stand outside in the rain while the bread is getting drenched in rain because they'll only let one person in at a time, then complain that the bread is wet, I get pissed. Wonder why their bread randomly goes moldy far before the expiration date!

Its not just gas prices but now that the goverment maindates that we use gas with E10 there is more demand for corn or whatever they use.
