First off, Star Traveler is just trying to be a nasty, attention grabbing prick. Ignore him
With that being said, I actually have 3 Walmarts within 7 miles of my house!
I've never really shopped at any of them until about 7 weeks ago when at 1:30 in the morning the power went out in my area. Because I have a sump pump in the basement with constant water coming into it, I didn't want to take a chance in it overflowing into the finished basement before the power came back on.
Fortunately Walmart is open 24/7....So I headed out to one of them to purchase a 750 Watt Power Converter which I was going to attach to my car battery then run an extension cord into the basement to run the sump pump. Well, not reading all the instructions, I burned out the power converter.
So, I packaged it up, took it to the closest Walmart only 3 miles away (why I didn't go there first, I don't know)and exchanged it hassle free for another one........
As a side note, in addition to the 3 Walmarts, I also have 1 Home Depot 3 miles East of me and another 3 miles West of me. There is also a Lowes only 1 mile away from me. Throw in one Target, one Sams Club and one Costco all within 3 miles from me.............
All you have to do is take a look at this thread, and you can see that there are others who know exactly how bad Walmart is ... :-) ...
I don’t personally know those other posters, and so when you see unrelated people giving you accounts of how terrible Walmart is and the dregs of humanity you find there, plus the misfits which are hired there ... then you know it’s not an isolated experience.
