I would rather go elsewhere and pay 20 bucks more rather than go to Walmart and push my way through the crowds of oafs there.

At my local WalMart last year, a white woman was elbowed and shoved by black youths on Black Friday, and they yelled "white bitch" as they grabbed one of the last items out of her hands. I watched as WalMart staff did absolutely nothing. We called the local news. They weren't interested.

Nice generalization you made there. My turn to play:
I would rather go to Wal-Mart, pay $20 less, and not have to deal with the crowds of self-important pretentious a-hole snobs who look down on us common folk oafs.

I was in a Target last month and witnessed 2 women in a fist fight over a blouse or some such that was on sale. I guess it was the only one left. I have seem filthy KMART and MACY’s stores as well as been treated rudely in Nordstroms and any number of other stores. I have also shopped at Walmart and there is a good reason they are the worlds most successful retailer by far. There prices are low and their shelves are always well stocked. I have NEVER been treated rudely in any of their stores and have been to them in at least 5 States. A widget is a widget and if you want to pay 20 bucks more for yours then that’s your business.

BTW, I worked with a guy in MA who refused to go into a Christmas Tree Shop (local discount chain in the NE Area) because he believed their merchandise was all refurbished and “seconds”. Same place I worked had a women who swore everything at Home Depot was returned items, and re manufactured merchandise.

Walmart is the anti-convenience store

Yes, the extra cost is worth it for the momentary illusion that I still live in a first-world, developed nation.

Yeah, nobody shops at Wal-Mart anymore, it’s too crowded.

Most folks who shop at Walmart are Republican - I shop there. Feel free to be superior - "push past" me or not - my next stop will be at the bank to count my savings...

Best Buy and others are matching. But Best Buy is already out. But you can likely get this deal elsewhere, until they are gone. I think this is the end of this model.
