    That's why Costco have come here. We have 2 major stores. Woolworths and Coles. They occupy 80% of the market and are damn expensive.

    It is? I don't remember ever hearing the name before.

    They've never had delivery trucks in this area.

    OK. I see what they did. Downsized, went overseas and charged a lot. But they were always a good quality store, if I remember right.

    Oh yes. We still take home boxes from sams.

    I've never bought a thing from amazon

    Woolworths became Woolco here in the US. Walmart bought a bunch of their stores.

    if you saw O Brother where art thou, they got banned from the Woolworth. Our Woolworths used to have a soda fountain when I was very little. :)

    Aussie companies are going to be taken over, my experiencing what i did today i see why. for example today in costco there was at least 5 thousand people but when you go to safe way you will be lucky to see 50 people.

    I've bought tons of books, DVDs and CDs from Amazon. Mostly books and DVDs -- a few CDs.

    They've all been under the microscope here. Right now they're trying to change the name brands with their own home brand. Coles is also doing it. Woolies is a little cheaper though.

    I have a couple of books I want to get. Is it cheaper than book stores or was it just for convenience?

    Trailer for a new Rossum movie. Couple of nice cleavage moments.

    That's a big deal in many stores now. Made in China cheaply, stamp their name on it and big profit.

    Now if I want a book I support my local bookseller -- Borders if I can. Otherwise Barnes and Noble.

    TG&Y had one, Kmart had a grill, Woolworths had a fountain like Cat's.
    Venture had a restaraunt.

    Amazon is almost always cheaper, and since both Borders and B&N are both mega chains, if i want to help a bookstore I find a mom & pop shop.

    K-Mart is like the only store from my youth that's still around.
    Venture, Phar-Mor, Omni, and Cubs Foods are all gone. At least around here.

    No mom and pop book shops in my area anymore! But Borders is a Michigan company, so I try to go there.
