I liked HEB. But I’m not in Texas anymore.
All the Whataburgers, too. Even an In and Out here and there!
We moved to Texas three years ago. HEB instantly became a staple. But when we first got here, most of their stores had no self-checkout. I much prefer it to waiting in a long line for just a handful of items. I was glad to see they added them soon after we got here, but the 10-item limit is sometimes completely ignored. Saw a couple this weekend with three bags of groceries in their cart, and they were still pulling groceries to be scanned.
All the Whataburgers, too. Even an In and Out here and there!
Liked Whataburger when we first got here, but after a while, we noticed their burgers had changed. Drier, less flavorful. Changes were also noted for their shakes/malts. We thought we had imagined it, until a search on the Internet indicated they had sold off a majority of the company to Chicago investment firm in June 2019. It was later in 2019 we noticed the difference in their food. :(
So, In-N-Out and Mighty Fine it is!
