I have been to Wal Mart 10 times in my life, but I'll make a 'contribution' to this thread.

My problem is the people that frequent the stores. Low class, overweight, and slovenly. The parking lot is littered with trash; the store is too. There is merchandise on the floor, no customer (except me?) will ever pick it up... people waddling around buying cheap Chinese garbage that they don't need and can't afford on their credit card with their ugly, dirty kids running around...

The employees are different. The older, non cashier workers are nice, friendly and helpful, especially the guys who help with returns that stand by the door at night. The younger kids are worthless and would be better off forced into building a Giza-sized pyramid out of the thousands of plastic soft drink bottles that line the parking lot and surrounding landscape

You are so right! The employees are just the worst. They act like a smile would break their face. They advertise ad matching but I have found it is such a hassle that I don’t do it. The clerk always has to call an assistant manager and they act like they have the most important job on the planet and like you are trying to cheat them.

This was my experience in my sole shopping trip I have made at a Wal-Mart. There was more merchandise it seemed on the floor than on the shelves. I have never shopped at Wal-Mart since.

Check out the "People of Walmart" website which catologues actual customers in the wild. It's quite amazing. http://www.peopleofwalmart.com

LOL. We are such a small town, that everyone goes to Walmart. The rich and snooty and the great unwashed and everyone in between.

My big complaint is the China Merchandise. I try to buy American as much as possible. I usually go to Dollar Store, Country Mart or Alps. We don't have a Costco or Sams etc.
