Love/Hate Shopko


Shopko is great because nobody shops there. The aisles are clear, music appropriate (subdued elevator music), lines short, variety of goods okay. Was it mentioned that nobody shops there??? Love that!!

However, most sale items are inflated 150% so that the item can be reduced %40. Where did they come up with the number 40?? I saw a small kitchen towel today marked down to $5.99, from $19.99. Har - har - har - har!!

Where's the little elf making this stuff up? Those towels will be .99 after Christmas and everybody knows it. Thus the explanation, nobody shops there, except me, all alone with the elevator music :)

I often wonder how they stay in business. I heard long ago they had mafia connections and are laundering $$$... makes sense after all these years of empty isles?
