People with local walmarts are incredibly fortunate. Even if they don’t shop there, Walmart exercises a most salutary Influence on the cost of living in places it does business. They’re getting visibly lower prices at many of the stores you do shop at - on a very wide variety of merchandise, simply by operation of free market competitive forces .
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.............
