Now I certainly wouldn't make that observation, but there is a vast difference in the management of the stores here and in Utah......and not a good difference! You see that reflected in the clientele from outside the bubble.
About 20 year ago we were in a Wally World in Sandy, UT. Our then 12 YO son commented on the way out that he lost us in the store for a while and couldn't find us because unlike stores in California everybody looked the same.
