I was talking strictly about the shopping experience. I understand WHY it is the way it is -- narrow aisles, lots of people, it just doesn't appeal to me personally. I find Target to be a less stressful experience (and I realize that they're a different segment of the market). My point was that I wasn't commenting at all about whether Wal Mart was a bad/unethical/monopolistic business, and I STILL got slammed, as though it were my duty to like Wal Mart on principle alone, even if I didn't appreciate their physical implementation. For some reason Wal Mart causes even conservatives to choose sides and insult each other.
