Polenta, what you said about Walmart not being personalized or distinguished ... I think that is it, exactly! One way people here express that idea is by saying a place like Walmart "has no soul." And, come to think of it, plastic seems that way - no depth of character, no soul. |

Same happened here. I can still remember milk bottles with cardboard covers that could be taken out so easily. Times have changed sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. |

One of the stores that Baldur has gotten very fond of is IKEA. At first my impression was that everything there would be too modern for my taste but I was wrong. |

IKEA is my absolute favortist (10 points for a great made up word) store ever. If we had one in Red Deer I would never been heard from again, unless, of course, you came to visit me there. I would be curled up in the 'Decorating in under 300 square feet' display watching a fake TV or perhaps enjoying a Poang chair. I'm sure I could live on their cafeteria's incredible $2 breakfasts and Lingenberry soda's. |

Mouse, the food at Mc Donald's is tasty but junk, empty calories. For me it's self-service because you don't have a waiter. You must stand in line, then take your tray yourself and the worst!!!!! they don't give you a good fork and knife.(All this at least here) Also there could be times when if it's very crowded, you can't get a table. Where can you eat? On the floor? But as I said before, it's tasty, not so expensive and they have standardized servings which is incredibly good!!!! All this happens here, it might be different elsewhere. |

I think polenta means flourescent lighting, and she's right, they're not very inviting. |
