I live in Northern California. All the “big box” stores are like an amalgamation of Tijuana, Cairo, Beirut, and Mumbai. Just go into the Costco here in Danville (which, incidentally provides something on the order of 30% of the town’s entire budget), and you think you’ve entered a Third World Country. Don’t know where they come from because they don’t live here. The Indians (the elephant riding kind) think they own the place, pushing their way at every possible point. The Middle Easterners are second, and the Asians third. On the other hand, the Hispanics tend to be the most polite and civilized but that may be because they are illegal and don’t want to attract “la migra.”
