yup. id say many many many more ppl shop there than dont. its just the pansies who are scared of companies that outsmart/outplay the competition because of the fact that this is america and thats what you are supposed to do who dont shop there.

No, I prefer Target. It's a better overall shopping experience, and I love finding clearance deals.

I perfer Target as well, but I will still use Wal-Mart if I'm closer to it.

i had both target and wal-mart next to me. I chose wal-mart over target the majority of the time even though target was next door to me.

I only go there when I have to.

Not because I don't like the place, but because there are always long ass lines.

Face it, they got us by the round harry things.
And I like shopping at 2am. Or need a tool at 3am to fix something, there open.
But, no, I don?t like Walmart, the way they treat their people. For a company that all the owners are billionaires, walmart passes health care onto you and me via Medicare. And FINALLY congress smells a rat in that policy. Hopefully, they can do something.


I have tried to wean myself off walmart. I go to 24 hr grocery stores more, or Walgreen?s rather than walmart. And...what I'm finding (to my shock) is local 24 hour grocery stores often have many many items a lot less than walmart. People just assume Wal-Mart?s is the cheapest, but not so.

I seen a tv docu special on walmart. how the price fix.
Say you want a micro oven. Walmart has a very simple basic one for a low low price. But what they count on, and it works for them, is when you're looking at the cheapo micro wave. Then you look next to it at the next one up. More features, looks a little nicer. So you go for the mid range micro. Well, the walmart price of those other micros, past the basic cheep one, is higher than you'd find anywhere else. Thats how they do it.

Woops, gota run. Need something from walmart!

I don't particularly "shop" anywhere. Shopping is for women. I go to a store, grab what I need, and leave. I can do that at Walmart, as well as anywhere else. ONLY difference is, Walmart is cheaper!

We don't have a Walmart close by...but we go to Kmart because you can get everything there and it saves us multiple trips.
