I'm glad you said it, because I was going to.

The AAFES (PX,BX,NX) is another sore spot with me. Sure, they sell products with a minimal mark-up. The O-5 and O-6's control the exchange, inputting their desires. As a result, they sell top of the line products (White stag, Members Only, Dell computers) well out of the reach of the average enlisted man.

The enlisted folks buy at Wal Mart, K-mart, and Sams. Lesser quality but fits the budget.

I've seen little evidence that any human being, especially one who shops, controls what is on PX shelves.
