Wal-Mart is absolute ****.

I think its funny they actually convinced people in order to have low prices you need to open big dimmly lighted box stores and skimp on quality and customer service.

Anyone who wants a real store.

We kill Wal-Mart in South and Cen Texas it aint even close. All the while our prices are as low or lower than the Wals.

lol, you want the biggest mess of weirdos in the world? Go to a college campus. You are gonna see a lot more freaks there than you will at Walmart. Literally, in some of my classes nearly a quarter the guys go to class in their boxers! How is that for hick? The only difference is that these hicks drive fancy cars that their parents bought them and think that they are intellectually superior to everyone around them because the send text messages during the 1/4 or less of classes they attend (that their parents and the government are paying for!) and smoke pot all day in their dorm rooms.
My University is second in the country for alcohol consumption and partying. The average person you see on campus is much more a freak and looks much more like a hick than the average person you will see at Walmart.

Lighten up Francis

I never said that Strike. I said that all kinds of people shop there, blue collar or not, and that you cannot judge everyone who goes there because of a few 'freaks'.
I said that I disliked people who bashed it just for the sake of being snobs, but that is not the same thing at all as saying that Wal-mart is 'for the blue collar guy'.
You either did not read my posts fully, did not pay very good attention, or used very poor logic. I think that if you give what I wrote a re-read and think about it again that you will see I was not saying that at all.

As for Walmart, they have very good prices on somethings and not so much on others. As for quality, like price, somethings you buy at Walmart, somethings you don't. I tried their meats. Bought some steak that was so salty it tasted like ham. Bought some ground beef once. Fresh ground beef is good in the fridge for 2-4 days before it starts turning brown/gray. That Walmart's ground beef I bought I couldn't get around to cooking right away but it stayed bright, healthy looking red for 7-8 days - preservatives anyone? I don't buy meat at Walmart anymore. However, that I can save 15%-25% off name brand food items over a supermarket is hard to ignore.

I had seen and read the article Vuk linked above about what not to buy at Walmart. I had to laugh when they said not to buy wood products. I didn't know Walmart sold (real) "wood" products.

Two things I can't live without that Walmart excels at: Bulk juice (for the lemurlings) and produce. Our local Walmart does these two things really, really well. If I need fresh fruit I can count on them far more readily than I can thw two other supermarkets within easy reach.

But they don't do everything well, certainly, and I don't like to devote too much of my weekly budget to them. Gotta keep shopping with the locals, too, not just the trans-national conglomerates.

People of Walmart is a mean-spirited web site, but it's not evil; it's just uncharitable. I have a personal problem with making fun of people based on their appearance. It's a form of comedy I try to avoid.

Also, if being completely honest, Walmart has paid me some good money over the years, so I can't down them without being a massive hypocrite.
