That is not my experience at walmart up here in Canada. I see people from all walk of life. Clean brand new stores with an immence variety of items. Low prices raise my and every shopers's quality of life.

And for people that can't stand those so called bottom feeders, how do you handle them when you meet them at the grocery store? And the cashiers at your local grocery stores, think of it, they are the same type of people that work at walmart. Ewww you might say.

And before somebody brings it up, Canada is NOT a third world country.

so this happens to you ONLY in walmart?
go to a mall or any store really, where you'd think the shoppers would be more "upper class" or whatever you want to call them. you get the same BS there.

I NEVER said that it happens ONLY in Walmart. But in my experiences it's much noticeably worse in Walmart. As stated previously, I'm going to trust my own experiences much more than you or anyone else trying to tell me that what I've experienced is wrong.

For the record, the places I frequent have people that are much more polite and classy than the people I see at Walmart.

I'd rather go to Target for more upscale shopping experience at an insignificant, to me, price difference.

Why don't you people understand Target sells the same cheap junk Wal-Mart does? What does presentation matter when the exact same item is 10 to 20% cheaper. If you like throwing away money, fine. The rest of us will save that money and use it for better things.

I shop at both Target and Wal-Mart. Some things Target is actually competitive on and it makes driving across the street worth the savings.

If that 10% to 20% price difference is what weeds out the bottom feeders and allows for a better shopping experience, it's worth it.

Thank god that price difference keeps the egotistical moronic assholes out of Wal-Mart for us civilized and level headed shoppers. God knows we have teenage asshole know-it-alls running around our store crying about "bottom feeders".
See, it's better for everyone. So in a way I like Walmart, because it diverts the bottom feeders away, so I don't have to see them at Target :D
And I love how the thread asks why people hate Walmart, when we come in and explain why, we get attacked.
You STILL have not spoke on the fact that Target sells the exact same tainted products that Wal-mart sells. But you'd rather just gloss over that and ignore the FACTS.
Huh? I never brought up tainted products or anything of that sort. Someone else did. I don't buy toys, so for me, this is a non issue. I buy necessities at Target, and I have no problem with the prices there. I go there once a month, maybe to buy the stuff I need, so prices are good. It doesn't matter to me if I would save a dollar or two by going to Walmart. It's not worth it to me.

What you describe happens in nearly any mainstream, mass market, retail establishment in America. Whining brats can be anywhere -- my GF and I were in Harris Teeter last night (I guess you could call it a high-end grocery store around these parts) and there was a 3 year old girl screaming her head off and running around like a little demon-seed bastard. The mom thought it was cute -- we didn't.

But you know what we did? We ignored them and went about our shopping.

People with poor parking behaviors? Puhlease. That happens EVERYWHERE.

People bitching about the way things ring up? Are you new to this country?

I'm not saying that Wal-mart is perfect... far from it. But the crap that people bring up in this thread just really irks me.

To tell you the truth, when I go shopping, I'm in "the zone." I don't give a shit about anyone or anything other than my primary objective. <That means, get in with pinpoint accuracy, find my target, then scoop it up and pay for it. If my means to achieve the goal were hindered on a continual basis, I wouldn't dare set foot in a Wal-mart.

However, whenever I go to Wal-mart, I have no problems dodging fat people or other "undesirables" to get what I want and checkout within a reasonable amount of time.


Man, you are so stealthy. A smooth operator. This probably works best for you at about 2:am :laugh:

And the reason you wouldn't be dodging fat people is because they have already eaten and OD for the night on the pork rinds and whatever else they bought there earlier. :)

Which, as I said, is one of the reasons I don't go there.

I shop at Trader Joe's for most of my groceries. No bottom feeders there, even though the prices are great. There are discount grocery stores here, and I avoid them.
It's not hard to avoid bottom feeders, you simply have to go to stores that are not the absolute cheapest, they can still have good prices.
Just avoid Walmart, Ross, Payless Shoes, 99c only stores, and basically stores that focus on being "lowest priced" as their primary mission, and you'll be fine.

Yes, and Target is responsible too if they sell me some poisonous junk.
I was just responding to someone claiming it's not Walmart's fault if they sell some dangerous product made by a Chinese company. It's their job to make sure they sell good safe products.

Wrong. It's the FTC's job to regulate products coming into the US and for US manufactures to test their products before they are sent to store shelves.

It would be Wal-marts fault if they knowingly sold something tainted, but they do not have the means or way to test manufactured products after the fact.

What is funny is every time I go into Target, I experience the exact same thing. Then on top of that you have to deal with rude, snooty people who look down on people who do not look rich.

No, that is not what I said. I said it was not Wal-Marts fault that the products were made bad to begin with. I never said it was not Wal-Marts responsibility (nor targets since they sold the same lead poisoned toys.) to ensure the products they sold are safe. I also said the Chinese government was responsible for it's workers being exploited, since they make the laws that govern working conditions.

I shop at walmart as I stated somewhere above, and remembered this video. I know, most of you have probably seen it years ago bla bla bla. I still laugh every time I see it though.

Go to 1:19 to get to the Walmart bit. You may want to watch the whole thing though. It's funny as hell.

Stop coming up with excuses for Walmart. These same companies are always saying the federal government should stay out and private sector take care of these things, well they need to take care of them, because FTC sure won't.

I agree with pretty much all of the above. The company has gained a reputation for forcing out smaller retailers including local "Ma & Pa" shops. I admit, I go to Wal-Mart to buy ONE item ONCE a month: Insulin. Because I have no health insurance and pay for all medical expenses out of my own pocket, paying $20 per bottle instead of $30 for the same insulin with a different label keeps me going to their pharm for my drugs. I get angry every time I have to go there though...without fail. The majority of shoppers that can be found there are infuriating.

As with Injury (I assume), I don't think slack jawed yokels are exclusive to Wal-Mart, but the difference I see is the majority. I don't have a problem standing in line at a register behind 5 to 8 other people. I'm fairly patient. What I can't stand is almost every time I go to Wal-Mart, it's like trying to walk through a fucking obstacle course. The Wal-Mart here is only open until 10pm, and you can bet your bottom dollar that at closing, there's still plenty of rednecks pouring out into the parking lot. It takes me 10 or 15 minutes to grab one item from the pharmacy, when it should take 5 or less. I don't have that problem at any other places I shop unless I'm there at 3pm on a Saturday.

My problems with Wal-Mart have all been covered already, but the main thing for me hasn't been mentioned. It's not a problem with just Wal-Mart, but with almost every store. The problem is that the store doesn't care about me, or about any customers, but about generating a profit for the shareholders.

I have the same complaint about all big corporations in general. When Wal-Mart decides that my city needs a SuperCenter, it doesn't base its decision on what anyone in my city wants, unless they are a shareholder. Even then, you'd need to own a substantial amount of the company to have any kind of significant sway. The main criteria for building the store is "What will maximize profit?", not "What will maximize profit, and also maximize the benefit to the community?"

When the big corporations move in, the community, in general, suffers in the long term.

A very good alternative to a large corporation is a regional co-op, or several local co-ops that have a regional association. For full disclosure, I am a member and employee of a large regional co-op. Prices are competitive with the 'big box' stores (maybe slightly higher, but not much).

Our co-op provides everything from food to fuel to clothing (in some locations) to hardware and lumber. The profits are returned 100% to the communities and people who live in them.

Show me a quote from a Wal-mart exec. that says the FTC should not govern and regulate imported items into the US.

You're so full of sh1t it isn't funny. You also don't have a clue about running a business.

Looking poorer than they do is all it takes to patronize these people. They are nothing but a bunch of stuck up elitist who think they are something special.

Somebody needs a dictionary for Christmas! :laugh:

Assuming you wanted to say, "I don't think". Don't worry though, you made that pretty clear. ;)

Wal*Mart sucks. Plain and simple as a shopping venue.

However; I can look past that and shop there.

I know when I enter that place it's going to be up to me to do it all. In return I can get items cheaper today than waiting for an online vendor to ship.

Sometimes they have deals that I can't find anywhere else...many times they run these during their busy times so I pass. I would not try to brave a Wal*Mart from about 2 weeks ago until about 2 weeks after Christmas.
