Target is really cheap for more routine items, and honestly I don't care if Wal-Mart is cheaper still, given how much I hate shopping there. Saving $0.10 on a stick of deodorant doesn't outweigh having to wade through all the trashy people who seem to shop Wal-Mart IMO.

LOL, you people act as though Wal-mart shoppers are lepers or something. Are these people jumping you, mugging you in the store or something?

Last time I drove by walmart, I think I actually saw a leper sitting out front. He was all dirty and bleedy and pus-oozy-bandaged. It was gross. Needless to say I proceeded to Super Target for my shopping needs that day.

Heres a list,
Wallmart
-Filthy store
-Cant walk down an isle without smelling someones BO
-Kids in walmart drive me insane
--I saw one lady watch her kid sneeze on a product and just put it pack on the shelf DIDNT EVEN WIPE IT OFF
--There loud little fockers
--Parients let them run around like college kids on adarol
-Quality of products blows

Target
-Clean as heck
-Never smelled BO in the store
-Rarely do I see people with unruly kids
-Nice quiet shopping experience

Where the hell do you people live, Filth Island? I've heard all of these complaints about dirty ass Wal-mart store with smelly customers, but have yet to run across them in NC.

I've seen unruly kids in EVERY STORE that I go to. Wal-mart is no exception. Target is no exception. I don't care where you go, you're going to find some bratty kid.

This is more a function of poor parenting these days than the store.

As for dirty stores and BO, again, not something that I run into in the two Wal-marts that I frequent in Raleigh/Cary, NC.

I go to target like crazy and I rarely see bratty kids, I went to walmart a few times this past year with friends and each time I have seen kids going nuts and just generaly see them tearing sh!t up. Im not saying you wont have a problem at target but it is much less common.The walmart at home is located in a very affluent area and it still has sh!tty yuck people there.

Well, Wal-mart is the Microsoft of retail stores. It HAS to be evil.

No, we live in the north.
From my experience, WalMarts north of the mason/dixon line are dirty and suck ass in general, and basically no self-respecting person would ever go there. WalMarts in the south are different (cleaner, nicer, less suck ass) for the most part.

Yet I could overlook all of this if the checkout lines were shorter and faster. But every Walmart I've been to in metro Atlanta area has long ass checkout lines even for self-checkout. I blame this on grocery being offered at the SuperCenter. Lines used to be lot shorter and quicker during the late 80's and early 90's before all Walmarts turned into SuperCenter and offered grocery.

sigh, waggy im not bashing them because everyone else does. In fact I want them to do well because alot of unions are behind most of their bad press (and I own some stock in them) and I cant Fing stand unions(thats another argument for another time). I am bashing them because I generally dont like the store.

 

[DainBramaged]

I would take Target ANY day over Wal-Mart.

 

[Goosemaster]

Walmart has the absolute worse, most pathetic, most absolutely appalling college-ruled filler paper imaginable.

I swear I was writing on fvking papyrus..

I don't want to claim to be some uber-experienced traveler but I have been in Wal-Marts from San Diego to where I live now in Central Pennsylvania and also in Texas where I have lived the bulk of my life. From my experience, literally coast to coast, I would say that on average the typical Wal-Mart is dirty, disorganized, and somewhat poor customer service.
For the most part, on average, I have reasonable certainty to expect that from a Wal-Mart and I have a reasonable certainty to expect the opposite of a Target (i.e. clean stores with more helpful employees).

Christ no, but there are only so many gap-toothed, morbidly obese bottom feeders and their untutored, untethered demon spawn blocking entire aisles that I can stand before paying that extra 15% seems like a great bargain.

Wally World is a deeply depressing place.

 

[destrekor]

hey OP, you take that back

im a target person, grew up going there and I just like the way its staffed and the environment of the store.
walmart feels like a grade above a kmart to me, and meh.. can't stand it

I like shopping at Sams Club and it's owned by Walmart. Why? Because the shopping experience is much better and the lines are much shorter. There is something to be said for pleasant shopping experience. How else you explain the overwhelming popularity of Whole Foods?

 

[JM Aggie08]

i dont know exactly what wal-marts you all have been shopping in. mine is friendly, odor free, and clean.



to hell with all of you.

Huh - I had never heard that. I have been to Wal-Mart stores in Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Washington and they all seemed pretty vile. Not to sound petty (though I guess it's way too late), but when I think of Wal-Mart I think of 400-pound women driving around in those electric carts (this seems to be a Wal-Mart staple in my experience), a bunch of really junky, tacky furniture and housewares, and huge lines at the cash registers.

You see, I guess I'm just immune to other humans or rather, I don't mind "co-mingling" with people of different socio-economic status than I am.

Some people have a problem being around people who have less money than them or feel dirty by being around someone who has bad teeth or are obese. That's our society these days. We've been groomed and scared into disliking or looking down on everyone and everything that isn't like us.

I go to Wal-mart to get whatever I need, then get the hell out. That's how I am at EVERY store that I go to. I HATE shopping. So I know what I want before hand, I go directly to the aisle(s) then get out.

When I go to Wal-mart, I always look the greeter in the eye and say hello, I walk to wherever I need to get my items then head for the checkout. My typical stay in Wal-Mart is usually less than 10 minutes.

I went to the new Wal-mart supercenter in Burlington, NC (opened a few months ago) this morning around 7:30 AM and said good morning to the greeter before she could even open her mouth

I walked over the first-aid aisle to get some bandaids then to the checkout line and was out in about 3 minutes. I said "Have a nice day to the greeter" as I left the store.

The horrible Wal-Mart experience is not worth the small savings. I stopped shopping there a few years ago. Only Target nowadays. (BTW, Walmart is the only chain where I saw a rat running loose in the produce section.)

Its not a matter of socio-economic status its a matter of touching a box some kid sneezed on. I deal with people from all walks of life every day and I dont think im better than anyone. Saying I am on some high horse and look down upon anyone is complete bullsh!t and quite offensive.

I guess you've never been to inner city Baltimore where my grandmother lives. I don't feel at home in Super Pride (I think they still have those) or Giant if I don't see at least two rats and some droppings

Do you also dumpster dive for your groceries and your toiletries? There are no lines, you know.

Free range, I'll bet any amount that I can and have hung with a far wider range of humanity that your priveleged little suburban ass could ever hope to handle, my friend, but there is something about the overcrowded aisles of crap and the denizens therein that have me preferring Target, imagine that.
