    I went for a while and wallowed in the bowels of the mercantile that invites the most wretched of the dregs of humanity. I am now partaking of Great-Value "Ridged cut potato chips"($1.59) and Great-Value "French onion dip"($1.28) and pairing it with Oak Leaf Vineyards "Merlot"($2.77). I originally went there to buy a set of brandy snifters. Our dishwasher keeps breaking them and we are down to one after 20 years, so I wanted to buy some more. I don't think a single person who works there even knew what a snifter was. :jayzus:

    You're having $3 Merlot with chips 'n dip and finding fault with the sophistication of someone who doesn't know what a snifter is?

    Everybody knows that the Great-Value brandy snifters are on the aisle next to the Great-Value foie gras and Great-Value caviar. :rolleyes:

    I ran into the same problem last time I was at Harrod's looking for a beer bong.

    My company probably makes that French onion dip for Wally World. Now that I know you buy it, I'll tell them to spit in the next batch... :P

    Harrod's is like the coolest department store on the face of the earth. It is awesome. Its like the 8th wonder of the world. If I were rich, I would go there. There is just some unbelievable stuff in there. They had a 1/2 scale VW bug that was 100% complete and drivable. It had a small camper connected behind it. All for a mere 40K pounds sterling. Some Saudi guy with a checkered red and white head band was buying one for his kid's birthday.
