People north of here really really like Hy-Vee I've learned

omaha grocery/liquor store combo rankings:

Multi Location Rankings:
Elite Tier
1) Whole Foods
2) Hyvee
3) Wohlners
Mid Tier
1) Bakers (dillons)
2) Target
3) Trader Joes (loses points for no liquor, just wine and beer and their own brand is extreme garbage)
Garbage Tier
1) Family Fare
2) Walmart Neighborhood Market
3) Fareway
4) No Frills

Watch your mouth about fareway, boy

That's false.  When I first moved to Dallas I lived 2 blocks from a Fiesta. Went there all the time.  I haven't been to one in about 15 years but I have been many times.

that list is pretty similar to my region of the greater metro KC with the exclusion of why is there no Sprouts?

no sprouts. we have like natural grocers and fresh thyme but they don't sell booze.

THere is a "Payless" which is basically a price chopper without the bakery, Deli, or grocery sackers.

The produce selection and "Hispanic" section are Amaze.  Most around would consider it garbage tier but not me!

Wow! That wasn't meant to be a shot at you either, I've been in fiesta once. I'm curious to know where you lived where you were two blocks from a

I lived in a shitty apartment complex in northeast Dallas. Near Skillman and Abrams.

That area isn't horrible, I wouldn't have thought there was a fiesta over there. I stayed in the Wyndam on 635 and 75. I got some blue bell at the Kroger on Greenville & Mockingbird.

You boozers won't even make it out of the parking lots.  Passed out and puking in your sacks of groceries.  Buying liquor should be hard and mysterious.  Something about booze shopping at a place where there are bars on the is exciting.  Will this law result in grocery store holdups?  We prostitutes frequent the bread aisles? Can a school be within a 1000 yards of a booze grocery store?' Will they close grocery stores on election day?   The slide to heathenNation is painful.

You're never more than 10 minutes away from a pretty sketchy part of town if you live in the city of Dallas. It's part of the charm.

I am surprised ol Sam signed this Bill into law.  It is sad they can ram this through and.not give a rat's ass about funding schools adequately.  Maybe this results in new beer grocery stores in small towns.
