Is there anyone here who doesn't shop at Wal-Mart for the simple reason that they prefer to shop elsewhere? Does there need to be a political agenda to everything?

/whiny rant off

I shop at Target because it's clean, the staff is friendly, the merchandise is of a better quality than Wal-Mart, and I don't need to fight through crowds of people to buy stuff. WalMart is usuallly my last choice, as a rule. There are about half-a-dozen Wally Worlds in my area. Only one is worth a flip, all the rest remind me of a K-Mart, circa about 1978. Cruddy, with surly staff and junk merchandise.

It might just be the local owners and not an indictment of the entire chain. However, I choose to vote with my $$ and go elsewhere.

The really funny thing about it is that all the anti-Wal-Mart ranting is probably improving their sales. Until I read something like this, I don't think too much about Wal-Mart one way or the other. That means if any business carrying an item is closer to my house than Wal-Mart, that's where I'm going....

Perhaps not now. I might buy my next load of groceries at Wal-Mart out of spite.
