Well, this might be a good deal for some, but I have to wonder about how much business they will actually get. The days of screaming bargains at the PX are long gone, everything is priced about the same as down town, and no Walmart junk available, only top quality and top brands. We shop there a little but only because it is handy and we don't have to pay sales tax, which is great if you are buying a new TV or some such.
Yep. The Exchanges, staffed by Gov't (non) workers have become the perpetual self-licking ice cream cone. Their pay and benefits continue to increase, so do the prices.
