I agree.


A lot of people reading that, who are unaware of what TV is and offers, would have no other recourse but to deduce...that there's nothing else to do here.


Simply amazing.

It is amazing. But you could also think (like I do) that Villagers are as a group some very cheap people. I came to that conclusion nearly 14 years ago.

My first clue that you are correct, was when we rented for the first time about 8 years ago and I heard a guy going out the door from the pro shop grumbling about how Palmer charges more for green fees ($5 I think it was?)...than the other championship courses.

He was still grumbling, as he drove to the starter...in his $20K Yesteryear cart.

I would take book that residents with this same personality will go to a village restaurant during "happy hour" spend $20 for two meals and another $12 for 4 drinks for him and his wife and then leave a $3 tip. He will then grumble that prices are too high and service was terrible. It happens---I've seen it! Oh, yes they drive a Lexus.

The Lexus is probably rented. Lots of $$ cars are just cheap rentals. Drive like a millionaire on Social Security. LOL

I've been known to enjoy gambling, but I wouldn't bet $.10 at a 1,000:1...that you're wrong on that.

Default Photos from 1st trip...

Went 1PM today.

- parking lot more than adequate - many open spots, well laid out
- inside of store is almost 1/2 larger than expected - everything all stocked and lots of employees
- aisles wide, brightly lit, easy to navigate
- produce/deli/grocery/frozen etc seems to be just as much avail as a normal WM store.
- Gas pumps were 1/2 full - BTW $2.44 & 2.59, same price we saw at Colony Shell.
- the online order service in effect soon. The had $10 disc coupons to try.

Took pics, and a WM corp/mgr type told me this is the latest prototype of the USA Neighb WM and the largest... some pics taken>

Thank you DeanFl. I love a nice grocery store.

And Bogie, we didn't go and I didn't get a mug. Was hoping you would lend our family your mug.
