No, I am not attempting to use gross generalities to disparage Walmart and its customers. I am reporting my actual experience in recent years. I have seen the Walmarts in my area become increasingly more frustrating to shop at. My opinion of Walmart has plummeted over the past 5 years. I now avoid them as much as possible, especially near the first of the month for the reasons I mentioned. I am certain the Obama economy and the increasing number of people who receive benefits and shop at Walmart is affecting my experiences. You reported your perspective as someone who lives in a rural area. If I lived where you live, no doubt I would shop at Walmart as well. But if you lived in a large city with a sizable population, I seriously doubt that you would maintain your high opinion of the Walmart shopping experience.

Bull crap. We lived in the Phoenix metropolitan area for over thirty years, until 3 years ago when we retired to Florida. We shopped at Walmart there like we do here, almost exclusively. And the Walmart we go to here is in a large city, not out in the the country. And it sits right in the middle of the largest low income area in town. And we have not had any such experiences as you describe.

If I were you, I wouldn't gamble too much because your luck of the draw on the Walmart you "avoid as much as possible" has something to be desired. And besides, your prediction that if we lived in a large city with a sizable population, that we wouldn't maintain our high opinion of Walmart, falls flat on it's face.

Good try but no cigar.
