Wal-mart is, IMO, gross, and I find the stores and most of the customers really unpleasant to be around. Target nowadays actually has a lot of really attractive, high-quality housewares and small appliances, and the larger Super Target stores have really nice little grocery sections, including a wide selection of organic goods and high-end items like aged steaks. 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?

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.

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.

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 didn't single you out, but looking through this thread, I see:

[*]gap-toothed, morbidly obese bottom feeders and their untutored, untethered demon spawn
[*]toothless old "okie" at the door
[*]greeter who sounds like he/she's right out of Arkansas
[*]dirty/loud/cramped/pseudo-white trash/ghetto

And I guess that kids don't sneeze at Target or K-Mart or Old Navy or The Gap or anywhere else? Just Wal-mart, right?

I think it almost goes further than what's bolded in your post......some of the bashing seem almost to get to the "I'm better than them so why should I be around them" mentality.

Our Wal-Mart was just renovated and is very clean, well organized inside. Of course, finding anyone who knows squat about any product is next-to-impossible. But we shop there for the basics, leaving the other shopping for other stores.

As for Target, the closest Target tous is much dirtier, just as crowded with the "Wal-Mart undesirables" as has been put in earlier posts here, and the staff, while friendly, is almost as clueless as to products as Wally-World's staff.


Then again, I've been in older WM's that are rather downtrodden, dirty, crowded, cramped......so depends upon which store you enter as to its layout and such.

Personally, it's the crowds in WM that slay me..........just too packed for my tastes, and their selection of some items is just too limited.

But their prices on staples of life are usually too good to shop elsewhere......and while it's been mentioned that one wouldn't stop in WM to save .10 on a stick of deoderant, I won't drive anywhere just to buy one thing. that 15% that is so glibly put as the "dlad to pay it" cost of going to Target is just too high when you're looking at the difference of $15 over $100. That $15 saved is better spent on something else, bought elsewhere.

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.

No, but when I'm going to the store to buy some aluminum foil, a bucket, a mop and some other knick knacks, what other people are doing around me is not on my mind.

Walmart depresses me, I feel bad for the future of the nation whenever I walk in there.

Fair enough. <shrug>

Unfortunately, the closest to me is Walmart. There are two of them within a 5-minute drive from my house. Both are constantly packed. It used to be that I could at least go after 10pm and shop in relative peace. Not the case these days.

On the plus side though, a new Target is going in directly across from one Walmart next spring. Unfortunately, it's just going to be a 'regular' Target (i.e. no grocery store.) Too bad as the other Super Targets here in town have a pretty nice grocery section - almost on par with Publix in some respects with good produce, meats, etc.

I see that Phokus has tried to rebuke my findings with his thread....

RossMAN, I wish I had a costco in my area

Wal-mart has lower class, shoddier products, yes.

Didn't Schadenfroh leave AT "for good" with a thread listing all of the threads he started in the past for the specific purpose of trolling? :Q

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.

You aren't alone. I've never noticed such problems at the Charlotte area locations.

These folks must live in total ******-towns.

edit: With that being said, I rarely shop at wal-mart. I go there maybe once a year.

I love Costco.
