Wife and I were part of the horde you were braving. Wall to wall people and shopping carts. People were lined up just to get their hands on a shopping cart. Two checkout lines went to the back of the store. Despite the crowding and delays, people kept their cool. The prices were good, the shelves well stocked, and the employees we had contact with were friendly and helpful. Several grocery stores near Winco are going to have to get competitive real quick to keep their customers. Even the one stops like Freddie's, Costco and Walmart are going to know there's a new player in the game.
