I loved shopping at 2 am. It was basically me, nighttime truckers, and people who worked weird shifts stopping by after work. When I shop in the day the aisles are congested and shelves occasionally need a restock, and checkout lines out take forever (looking at you costco)

If one is in your area, Winco is your friend then. 24hr grocery shopping. They are also worker owned and have a great bulk goods selection, so they are a better food shopping experience at roughly the same price point.

I no longer live in the PNW. I miss Winco.

What state are you in, if you don't mind me asking? I just moved from Dallas to Los Angeles and there are Wincos in both, just kind of out of the way.

[–] st3ph3n@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Illinois now. Winco has yet to penetrate the Midwest!

Sounds like a Debbie Does Dallas spinoff: Winco Does Wisconsin

I miss WinCo. Had one in the town my college was in. I used to get a cart full of groceries for like $80. That place was the jam

The nearest winco to me is a country away ;_;

I wish I could shop at a unionized store or a worker-owned place but none exist near me for groceries.

I lived across the street from one for awhile and loved going grocery shopping late at night to avoid everyone else.

The best time to go. Free entertainment that late too from some of the customers.

I’ve always heard stories of shit going down at walmart, but I’ve never seen it.

Dennys, on the other hand…
