Reply to comment by False_Flatworm_4512 in Ontario Walmart turns into 'hotel' as storm-stranded shoppers get stuck for the night by jormungandrsjig

People pretend to be better than they are; to posture above more common folk.

Enjoy Tar-jay.

Growing up in the Bay Area instilled in me a great hatred for yuppy, nouveu riche, faux-sophisticated bullshit, like people could shop for culture to fill the void that is their souls, in denial of what their ancestors did to get them to the point where Trader Joe's is the floor of shopping establishments for them.

You very succinctly described the feeling I got when I drove through Whistler BC. North American Ski resort towns are epitome of fake. Even McDonalds had to abide by the decor rules and was only allowed a small arches sign.

I drove us out of there as fast as I could.
