I must admit that I've shopped at Walmart on occasion, not a fun experience.

[silverleaf]

Because Tar- Jay is the middle class Walmart?

[OpusatFR]

Because the merchandise is ugly, shoddy crap.

[cripplecreek]

I prefer Meijer stores.

I will be checking back into this thread again later, it should be interesting.

I shop at Walmart all the time. Our area doesn’t have the wonderful diversity and vibrancy that some do thank God. I got enough of fat-a**, loud-mouth, baby factories in Nashville.

... because this isn’t Sam Walton’s Walmart anymore???

[miss marmelstein]

My Walmart is not in a ghetto. Quite the opposite. I’ve been to a friend’s Walmart in NC and that wasn’t in a ghetto either. I use it occasionally. Maybe it’s the crowds that deter me and the checkout is slow.

Why is every Walmart so ghetto?

I've shopped there, but have you seen the clientel? Take a look at http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

I’m always just a little worried that someone will go postal when I’m there.

I admit that I don’t go into Wal-Mart frequently, but when I have I don’t think that the shopping experience has been any better or any worse than shopping at a Kohl’s or a supermarket.

There are 2 Walmarts where I shop. One is 2 miles further but I like shopping there. The closer one has someone who marks your receipt after counting your items as you leave. I only shop at this one if I can’t get to the other, and sometimes I just say, “screw it”, and I don’t go there at all.

I know middle class people who shop for groceries at walmart.

The students I know shop for clothes at walmart. They know its cheap & won’t last but its what they can afford

[stylin19a]

the middle class shops at the dollar stores...

[Lopeover]

I disagree. I know a lot of middle income folks that shop at Walmart.

[TexasCajun]

Cheap prices for cheap crap.

Perfect for Christmas gifts.

I’m [Initiate Marxist Mode] Upper-Middle-Class [/Marxist] and show at Wally-World regularly.

There are plenty of WalMarts where the shopping is worry free. In my small home town, I shop there all the time. Nice normal middle class people - there some poor ones, but they are well-behaved and don’t dress some of the EBTers you would imagine. Also a lot of other Walmarts around Metro Atlanta are okay.

The ones I won’t shop at are in Marietta, Georgia on Highway 140 and any one of them in Atlanta city limits. Basically, I don’t shop at a Walmart that is on or near a bus line, rail line or within walking distance of a Section 8 housing ghetto.

[Westbrook]

I do shop at Wally World on occasion, but prefer to buy from LL Bean, Lehmans, B&H Photo, NewEgg, and others that don’t push the gay mafia agenda.

Walmarts are just a reflection of the neighborhoods they're located in. Some are ghetto, some aren't.

I shop at mine about once a week.

[libertarian27]

I do not shop at Super Walmart the first week of the month.
Mid-second week to the third week of the month they are quieter, that’s when I’ll venture there - if needed.
