Grocery Stores in Nevada

Requirements to owning a grocery store close to Las Vegas:

1) You must place slot machines near the front entrance.
2) You must have a good speaker system.
3) You must blare heavy metal over the speakers.
4) You must have a very grumpy clientele.
5) You must charge $4/lb for ground beef.
6) You may not put up a store directory.
7) You must have at least one isle for beer and wine.

Other than that, the only funny thing is that the grocery store next to me (equivalent of King Snoopers) has a recorded "mooing" sound that comes from the little room with windows where they cut up meat behind the meat freezers. Seems a little graphic since the recording stops abruptly. (Mooh! Mooh. Mooh? Mooooooo\) :-)

That's not a recording down there they actually kill the cows in the back...and why it always sounds the same is because they are all saying the same thing NOOOOO DON'T KILLLL\


so no Sam's Club or Costcos?

LOL -- Yeah.

Yeah... Sams or Costco wouldn't save me any money... First, I'd have to buy a membership and I doubt the savings would pay for itself for one person in three months. Second, I'd have to buy food in such large quantities that it would rot before I could eat half of it... So... over-priced, small quantity food for me! YAHOO!

Regarding the slot machines - have you come across the little old lady who is playing 3 machines at once? If you do come across this situation, do not approach as when you get within 3 ft of one of their 'own personal' machines you will be ferociously attacked. Just a warning as we want you to come home in one piece.

Hehe, no I haven't! That sounds like quite the experience :-)

Yeah! They should put the sound of an item, next to the item their selling!
Although, It would be kind of hard to find a noise for a pizza...
