Shopping in Stockholm has become downright insane.

I prefer the Oxford Street pickpockets and the gypsies of Rome to this mess.

Trust me, the Animal Kingdom will hear from our lawyers!

A man was butted by an unexpected assailant while shopping at his local supermarket in a Stockholm suburb on Friday - a roebuck deer.

Perhaps he was looking for directions to a Sears store.

Was it a Sears and Roebuck store?

"Antlers" Östeberg................

Don't butt me bro.!!!!

At least it wasn’t a moose.

Moose bites can be pretti nasti.

last time Ostberg asks "where's the butter?" in that store.

“Perhaps he was looking for directions to a Sears store.”

- Is Sears still around?

A friend of mine told me Wal-Mart has competed away most other companies in their business.

the deer had hide covering his otherwise razor sharp horns

Deer have "razor sharp horns"? Since when?

[41Thunder]

Maybe he was just looking for some John Deere products:)

NOW can we be allowed to hunt deer?

[Tax-chick]

Yes, Sears is still around. I don’t buy anything there since I got rid of the vacuum cleaner that needed “R” bags and “OO” belts - and anyway, I can order from Hoover.com with much less trouble - but someone must shop there for something.

Man butted by man at San Francisco supermarket...

[rodguy911]

I hate when that happens....

Sears is still doing pretty well around these parts (northern New England). I’ll be getting myself a new lawnmower there in a few weeks.

“Yes, Sears is still around.”

- Nice to know.

Speaking of Wal-mart, I’m not overly impressed by their prices (I’ve checked them out a bit on the Internet).

My country, Sweden, boasts a lot of stores that could compete with Wal-Mart prices despite the 25% VAT we pay upon the “actual” prices we pay.

But perhaps there are stores in the US that too could compete with what Wal-Mart has on offer?

...a fellow customer managed to detain the wild animal in a strangle hold before escorting him from the store.

No doubt a Laplander.

.. a friend of ours daughter was sitting at a traffic light last year and a buck came flying out of nowhere and ran right into the left front fender head down...denting it and scratching the hood to the tune of $1800...in the middle of town,... stores, people, houses and other traffic..she thought another car hit her it happen so fast

Whether you get the best price at Wal-mart depends on what you’re buying and when ... just like any other store. For example, their clothes are inexpensive, especially basic items like young children’s pants and shirts. However, they don’t last. Some people want better quality, and will go elsewhere and pay more. Others (like me) find that the children destroy the clothes no matter what you spent on them, so you might as well get the cheapest.

You can often find appliances for less, if you look around. On the other hand, most stores don’t even have toilet paper in packages of 48 rolls. Wal-mart has the best price on frozen pizza. For shoes, there’s often a better price/selection at PayLess.
