    The Piggly Wiggly...lol :laugh: Only found in Georgia and South Carolina.

    There was one where I lived in Texas.
    Piggly Wiggly is a name that needs no sarcasm.

    I was at a Payless shoe store once to see if I could find a style of shoe...well, for less. They were all the same as the more expensive store I was just at in the mall, and I said (pretty loudly) "PayLESS?! They should call it 'Pay-the-same-as-everywhere-else!'" A lady working stopped mid-stride and gave me the stink eye, which I kindly returned.

    I hate nicknames for Wal-Mart because my stepmom worked there for years and she used those nicknames. Hearing them just grates on my ears...kinda like her voice. :/

    My brother and I get a kick out of signs with some of the letters gone (or burnt out if it's lighted and at night). We once drove past a Sears with the E burnt out. My brother called it SARS and I cried from laughing. There was also a Shell station with the S burnt out, and a Kroger with the K burnt out. We're very mature ;)

    There's a store here in a crappy part of Nashville called "Nails and Human Hair."

    I just get weirded out anytime I read it.

    I've ran across a gas station chain called Kum-N-Go. I hope their customers don't leave feeling used and unfulfilled...

    I refer to Walmart as "Club Walmart" because if you go on a Friday or Sat night you would thing there is a party in there.
