True statement. I have never shopped at WMT and never will, but that is a personal decision.
Wal-Mark is going to heck, as many people who do shop there realize. Many of the stores are dirty and disorganized, when years ago it was the opposite. I shop Wal-Mart a lot because of the prices and because of the tremendous advantage of not having to wait for stuff to go on sale. However, Target is far more pleasant and better liked by customers. This really is a serious issue because Wal-Mart is so big that if it goes under, as most discount stores eventually do, it would hurt the economy. They need to get back to a system where the head of the company constantly makes surprise visits to stores and the managers fear what will happen if the place is a mess.
People in rural areas probably have different experiences and my guess is that many of those stores are still good.
Sorry about that guys (triple post). The computer didn't respond and I kept clicking on Post.
Wal-Mart is not going under, in our lifetimes.
Has Sears gone under? Except for appliances and tools, Sears is the nastiest chain of stores in America, yet they're still around.
I don't think Wal-Mart is "going to heck" at all. They've just put in self-check at all of the Wal-Marts in my neighborhood, and that's the icing on the cake, for me.
