I will never loiter outside another grocery store again… (MEMPHIS 8/17/2010) The people were hanging out front again. There are always folks loitering around the In and Out Grocery in North Memphis. There are plenty of no loitering signs around, clerks constantly come out of the store to tell folks to leave, but they don’t. So on Monday night, store employee Majdi Morshed took his .45 caliber handgun out with him to try and scare the young crowd away. Something went wrong, and Read More...

We get a lot of questions about expiration dates.  Since we are a extreme bargain retailer, we’ve had customers assume that we sell expired food.  That isn’t so.  While it is true that we sell products closer to their sell by dates than a conventional supermarket, we are extraordinarily careful not to sell anything that is spoiled or bad. Above all, we care about our customers’ safety and satisfaction. It’s very important to know the difference between Read More...

Walmart is appealing to the Supreme Court the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling that the Dukes v. Walmart case can move forward as a class action lawsuit. Dukes v. Walmart is the largest gender discrimination lawsuit in history, alleging that women who worked at Walmart were systematically given less pay and less chance at promotion due to gender.

Early on in our marriage we were given some advice to have a weekly date night. Since we were prompt to produce the first grandchild 10 months after the wedding, we had parents who were more than eager to come over once a week to fawn over their new grandson while we happily scrambled out the door hollering “good luck” behind us as we ran to our car. The only problem was that by the time the Read More...
