As Angélica answered in the other thread, in Mexican Spanish, siempre can have two different meanings:
1. The standard meaning "siempre" = always
2. A secondary meaning where siempre means "still" or "after all"
For the second meaning, imagine someone says they are going to the store, but then they flip flop on the subject and they're not sure if they are going to go or not. After a while, you realize you need something from the store and they could pick it up for you. And you ask: ¿Siempre vas a la tienda? Para que me traigas x. It's essentially asking "Are you still going to go?", "Are you going to go after all?", "Have you made up your mind about going?"
