Wal-Mart because there is at least some food to eat and something to drink
and also a change of clothes

A grocery store, so that I wouldn't starve to death.

yeah, and they also have a dressing room and the outdoor section which you could use to sleep.

Locked in? Is food provided? Bed? No contact with the outside world?

If I were back home I'd say Marshall Field's in downtown Chicago - many floors, just about everything.

A good book store, with a cafe in it. Vroman's in Pasadena would do nicely.

A superstore, mostly groceries, but with beds and clothes.
I wonder, will the liquor section be locked?

An upscale, overpriced grocery store. Those have food, and then will have stuff like TVs, DVDs, and other knicknacks.

Because I like to shop there.... and there's variety - which will keep me busy for a month.

I guess I'd go for a Walmart super store too. The only thing lacking is a shower, but I could rig a bath up using a wading pool.

Not sure, I know it would have to be like a super walmart or a super target, due to they have food i can eat, then when I get bored I could open a movie and watch it on one of the tvs.

so without any explanation of what i get to do in that store and why i would want to stay in a store!!!!! it is hard to say. do i get to keep stuff from the store or just use stuff from the store?? this is not very well explained and a month in any store would be boring!
so a few possible reasons.......... i would stay a month in a motorcycle dealership store and ride all the motorcycles to my hearts content or if i can have them, take some home.
otherwise maybe best buy or circuit city so i can play with all the electronics and then take some home.
i still think a month would be boring and i wouldn't enter the contest.

Real Canadian Superstore, because they sell pretty much everything. I'm guessing that I get to make use of the products in the store, eat the food etc. Otherwise, I wouldn't much care.

So what do I win?

...and why is this "family"?

It would have to be somewhere with a healthy selection of food - the only place I can imagine having enough variety of food to last me a month is a supermarket. Not sure where I would sleep though  * frown *

I would imagine getting packages of toilet paper and making a bed on that.

Hmm, that could work. There is a clothes section at my local supermarket - maybe I could throw enough of those on the floor to make a bed.

(reply to Biggles) posted 5-May-2007 6:08pm  
The problem with that, is the clothes are treated for shelf life (moths I guess) and the constant breathing in of those fumes may make you ill. If the mart had a washing machime, if you could wash them fisrt that would be ideal! Oooh! Furs!!

A WalMart store that has groceries. I could cook, watch t.v., use the phone and take over the McDonalds that's in there, too. There are books, toys and better furniture that I have at home. Plus, I'd win the contest.

Do they not have super center type places over there? I could see that being an American thing... Or, maybe you just meant there aren't any around you?

There are some supermarkets with small clothes, electricals, toys and household goods aisles. I've never seen one with furniture or large electricals like dishwashers.

Fred Meyer. They have groceries, camping equipment, paper products like paper towels & tp, a home electronics section, books, magazines, DVDs, etc. They have nearly everything a Super Wal-Mart does, but they aren't open 24/7, which means there wouldn't be a lot of people in the store at night when I'm trying to sleep.
