(31,869 posts)places where I see the most obese people. I can't believe their sizes!
My youngest had a part time job in McDonald's when she was in high school. I have only been in a Walmart a few times in my life, but the place almost gave me an anxiety attack. I had to leave. The noise, the dirt, the sheer volume of STUFF was overwhelming to me. And I like cities! This was not the same.
We do have an obesity epidemic in this country. I am not making fun of it. But I think those two places are the places that people do not arrive at by walking!

That is called targeting your market.

(3 posts)I just passed the exam for my real estate sales license. During the coursework, there was the usual warning about discrimination. But - a warning never to use the words "walking distance." Our society has become so litigious, one can be sued for using this expression. "Shopping center nearby" or "Shopping center 1/4 mile away" is acceptable. I list a house a few doors away from a church on the corner? I'm not supposed to refer to it even as a landmark. "Take a right turn at St Mark's cathedral" is lawsuit city.
I thought the instructor was kidding when he went through this.
