    Default AAFES Logic

    At the Shopette today.

    .5L water bottle: $.95

    1L water bottle: $1.20


    Wha?

    Then 6oz of roasted peanuts in a can: $4.69.

    2.5oz bags of roasted peanuts: $1.00

    What the hell am I missing here?

    God I wish AAFES would go away and let WalMart take over.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    dmp. WHAT many former, and present Military members fail to recognize...no matter how long we've been around is....AAFES, and the Navy Exchanges, Commissary systems are designed to MAKE A PROFIT. Luring people to fall for the TAX FREE idea ended LONG, LONG AGO.

    Going to WALMART for the same products...even WITH taxes is generally Cheaper. But Don't Tell anybody!
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    Right - the hook is this: AAFES gives back to DFMWR! Omg - I PROMISE any company agreeing to take it over would do the same thing. AND better-serve the Military community.
