Yes, my local is a Drakes too, and one of the next closest is a larger Drakes that I occasionally go to for things I can't get at the smaller one, but I'm pretty lucky - I travel by bike, so I do depend on what's available fairly close.
About every 3 months or so I'll drop into Coles for one occasional item that I can't get at Drakes, and I hate it - the self-service checkouts, the aisles filled with Coles-brand items ... just the whole experience is shit.
