I am guess OP is watching his pennies, and a cell is an expensive luxury for him. But just a guess.

Topspinmo, You do realize the people don’t come to the OR with clothes on much less they’re phones.
They don’t see race, Financial background or their religious beliefs, and sometime the Shooter.
What they see is a person that could die and they need to fix them.

Healthcare workers have a different mindset than rest of the population.
Your post speaks for itself.

[There are some Walmarts that are called Neighborhood Walmarts, which is privately owned and smaller. They only sell food products, and has a pharmacy. I have one in my area, and noticed the prices are higher than the Super Walmart centers. I did question the manager, and he explained that the privately owned ones can charge whatever they want. An example, .75 cents more on a gallon of milk. As for Publix, I've been to the one in TV and in my area an hour away, and didn't find no price differences in products.

TV Walmart charges more because it's in TV.

Any Walmart shoppers notice this?

Having worked in the supermarket corporate, I came to see two things, the first is that prices ARE determined by location, its what the location will bear, the prices in Boca Raton will be higher than TV, the prices in the inner city or poorer locations will be lower, its just the way it works, second, a lot of supermarkets pay rent, even though they own the property, the rents are paid to trust funds for the children and grandchildren of the owners........its just the way it works.........sorry to burst a bubble

True.

In general though you're going to pay less at Wal-mart than at Publix, and less at Aldi than at Wal-mart. But other than savings, you're going to get less in other areas that impact how we shop as well. Publix has just about everything including knowledgeable store personnel, nice wide aisles, display layouts that make sense and are easy to reach, and (on the whole) polite shoppers, but
those perks cost money and that money comes from increased prices. Wal-mart means lower prices but also narrow aisles, people pawing over the produce that from the looks of them you should be social-distancing maybe 20 feet instead of six, narrow aisles with merchandise often stacked beyond your reach (and no store clerk available to help you), etc. Aldi lowest price of all, by a lot, but a VERY limited selection.

That's one of the nice things about TV. If the stores you shop at are close to one another (Wal-Mart, Publix and Aldi all in the space of less than a mile drive) you can comparison-shop and save some real money by so doing.

why don't you just go the one on 441 and find out for yourself? Not THAT far...I'm sure you travel much further for other things.

I've never paid much attention but I did notice that bananas were 34 cents a pound on 441 and 63 cents a pound on Wedgewood.

FYI how many altercations and fights have there been in the town squares over chairs maybe you don’t need to go to that part of town either

I think he was talking about the Walmart in Leesburg

You probably need to buy a better phone.

I did a direct compare on the handful of items I was planning to buy between the Neighborhood and the one on 466. They were the same. This was about 2 months ago.

The sales tax are lower in Lady Lake, Summerfield and Leesburg plus prices are slightly adjusted to the market area was the explanation from one of the managers I asked several years ago.

We noticed the price of milk on the Walmart on 466 was much higher than the Walmart food center in Colony. Comparison shopping these days is difficult because prices change daily

Prices do vary based on demographics. We've been going to the one in Leesburg on 441. I've read some of the comments below and can honestly state we haven't had any issues there. It's a much larger store than the others albeit older. The prices on many products at that location are less than the two in TV
