We get all our stores mapped out and act like crazy people on a mission... and yes, things are frequently out of stock or are, lets face it, past their expiration date... by the way, if something is on sale... check the expiration date... it's probably already bad.<br /><br />I would also like to point out, even though st Thomas has some stateside restaurants like McD's, Wendy's etc... they are not even close to stateside 'quality' for those stores.... you will wait in line at McD's for 20 minutes only to be addressed by someone who is staring past you, doesn't want to talk to you and they are out of something... there is also no ice tea, mcflurries or iced coffee drinks of any kind in these places. The USVI's may be state owned... but they are not state operated...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773526625291356629.post-50479091844518657542013-10-23T07:14:48.777-04:002013-10-23T07:14:48.777-04:00I love going to Food Center and shopping for the &...I love going to Food Center and shopping for the "special today" items which are 1/3 of the regular cost....so does that make the standard mark-up 300%?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773526625291356629.post-55089163505433312632013-10-22T16:18:03.100-04:002013-10-22T16:18:03.100-04:00OK, when did Cost U More raise the "quarterly...OK, when did Cost U More raise the "quarterly coupon" to $35.????? I shop all da stores except "food center" to far away for me and have to say sometime Gourmet (gouge) Gallery is less expensive & better quality then Pueblo. Yes shopping in Paradise is an experience I think every tourist should experience at least 2x ☺ and the showing ID w/your credit card...funny after they (especially at Pueblo ~ who now gives back $5 w/every $500 spent) swipe your store card & your name comes up, still ask for ID:) God I Love it Here!!!! <br />Islandkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312694967713275455noreply@blogger.com
