    People who play music at the beach. When I'm sitting on the beach, I want to hear 1) waves and b) children playing, not your stupid music. I mean, I thought that was the whole point of sitting on the beach.

    While we're on the topic, why does anyone play loud music at all anymore? With all the advances in iPhones and earbuds, etc. there's really no reason for anyone else besides you to hear your music, like, ever. Put your buds in!

    I can't stand the door-to-door guys any longer. It's like a never-ending line of sales people. I just ignore them. It's like they all hit you at the same time and you just want to tell these mf-ers "you know...there's been about ten people that came before you so f off!". I never buy anything from a door-to-door...not windows...not roofs...nothing. If I need that, then I'm researching it and finding a company...not buying something from the first or number X Joe Blow that comes to my door. They must have success, though. Else, why are they here?

    I never answer the door. My home office is right by my front door and sometimes they'll look in and see me sitting here posting on CF...er, I mean WORKING....and I STILL won't answer the door. Even if we make eye contact.

    20 checkout lines and one or two cashiers for people with more than 15 items before 9 AM. HEB can afford to offer better service for those who like to shop early.

    No lies detected.

    We drove from DFW to the DPS office by my mom's house in Spring to save 6 weeks of waiting for a local appointment for one kid's permit. Took a day off of work and drove to Paris to save 3 MONTHS for both of their actual licenses last year.

    I too shop at the crack of dawn. Maybe it's just because they're new, but I've been to 3 of the new DFW locations in the last year or so and all of them had at least 6 or 7 lanes manned at the time of the morning. Can't wait til the Melissa location opens next year and i can shop there on the reg.

    Those mf-ers will come back same day, too, cause they use the same knock. I had one guy come back 3 times.

    Maybe it's the manager at this store. They never do that here.

    If DFW is considered a relatively new market for HEB, they might have developing a good reputation as the #1 goal at the moment with profits as something they will work on in the future.

    Other HEB areas such as
    • Austin
    • San Antonio
    • Houston
    • Corpus Christi
    • Etc
    are quite possibly coming through with the profits to support DFW not being very profitable for a while.


    In the Houston area
    • HEB
    • Kroger
    • Aldi
    • Walmart
    • Randall's
    • Fiesta
    • Etc
    have all been here for a while with no newcomers (that I can think of) coming in trying to take market share from the established retailers. So all involved in the Houston area will do what is necessary on Customer Service and not much more while HEB in DFW is trying to take market share from the existing retailers in DFW and will sacrifice profits for now to get a good reputation and market share.
