And I'll pass on visiting the US why y'all have armed police running around tackling people & disappearing them, and are demanding social media passwords only to refuse entry if you've been critical of Dear Leader. Sort your shit out, then maybe.
- ac29 11mo agoSupermarket and grocery store are basically synonyms in the US. Walmart would be called a superstore or box store.
- Dylan16807 11mo agoI agree with your first statement, but I'd point it the other way around. I often call big supermarkets grocery stores even when I shouldn't. And I never use "superstore" or "box store". I'm fine calling walmart a supermarket.
- School-Cotton 11mo agoLanguage is clearly missing something if we don’t have a different word for Walmart, Target, etc. versus Albertsons, Fry’s, etc. I think if the latter set are grocery stores, then the former are clearly something else.

- RajT88 11mo ago> Walmart absolutely is a supermarket As I said, even though I'm reluctantly willing to entertain this, it's an incredibly niche talking point. Except for this one corner case which is only kinda-sorta true, people cannot buy guns at grocery stores. That's nonsense, and your talking point is nonsense.
- fukka42 11mo agoI never said grocery stores and you already agreed that what I did say is correct: You can buy guns at the supermarket in America.
