if a better product exists then the inferior product is de facto lower quality

actually central market and whole foods is cheaper than market street (that shit is expensive!)

whole foods and central market are lower priced and have a larger selection of high quality foods

it's a no brainer that they're better than market street

you haven't been to both so there's no way you can compare

and if one product is of a better quality then you have to have a lower quality product, common sense

so how does the quality of market street change just because something better exists?

You were replying to this, implying that because Central Market is good, Market Street is bad. I know that's not what you meant, but you weren't really addressing the question that Impala actually asked.

this could be true i dunno. lower priced on what?

QUOTE (Neoshaman @ Jun 19 2006, 11:02 AM)

like what? and if a shopper didn't care about these, would it still make the store better to them?

QUOTE (Neoshaman @ Jun 19 2006, 11:02 AM)

i never attempted to compare. you said market street sucks, and your reasoning was because central market is better. it sounds like it may be a better store, but it doesn't mean some other store "blows cumbubbles".

QUOTE (Neoshaman @ Jun 19 2006, 11:02 AM)

No, having a new product of better quality simply means it's better quality, it doesn't lower the quality of an existing product.

Agreed. But that's a comparison... doesn't mean people should hate Market Street or that it's bad in itself.

Central Market and Whole Foods both offer bulk items on things like grains, natural foods, and generally fresher produce/meats....I don't know what Lance means by cheaper prices because you could blow a whole paycheck buying 10 things there.


Market Street is a glorified United with a place that serves hot food. AND DO NOT TELL ME THAT MARKET STREET HAS FRESH PRODUCE. YOU CAN GO TO HELL.


Overall, Market Street does well for what's out here. But damn the stuff that comes out of central market and whole foods is mighty fine!

in general when you shop at HEB or central market, prices are lower than market street. This is just from experience of living in lubbock and also living in Austin and buying basically the same shit at each grocery store. United prices on everything tend to be more.

prices are always lower at HEB but i have NEVER seen a low price at central market


it's too snazzy and upscale for me to travel downtown and spend double on some of the stuff i'd buy

I generally will shop at market street, but it's kinda funny there's a couple items that in Lubbock I've only found at wal mart:

horizon organic milk (best milk ever imho)


gatorade strawberry fierce (best gatorade ever).
