Our WalMart* used to be like yours.

I live in a Seattle Suburb.

I have two WalMarts within close driving range.

The one closer is in a relatively upscale town. Very nice store, very nice people.

The other is like the bar scene for Star Wars.

One of the reasons I would never move west of the Cascades.

As the older WalMart*s close and reopen in new locations, some of the unruly customers are finding they have to drive further. I've seen only a few of them and the odd Star Wars types in the new Walmart* locations. Don't know what to expect when the old locations close.

BTW, the prices among different locations in my area vary, so some Walmart*s are cheaper than others, even allowing for differences in sales tax some are significantly high enough to avoid. Also their inventory may vary and some items are not available at all stores.

But I will continue to shop at WalMart* as long as they have the cheapest price and are convenient.

There are two Walmarts nearby. One is in an exurb near some poorer rural areas. That Walmart is where the white trash take their children to discipline them. The other is more “urban,” and I refer to it as the “zombie apocalypse.” I do not often patronize either store.

As for Dayton, I had some business there about 10 years ago. The downtown is a dump. There wasn’t a building newer than about 1970 vintage.
