Here in Norman, OK, we have two super Walmarts -- very clean, very friendly, and low prices on a lot of items I buy for the house. Not going to pay higher prices when I get the same item cheaper at Walmart.
I have noticed while traveling across the Country that in some areas Walmarts are taken over by kids whose parents leave them there so Walmart can babysit and their video section along with others are pretty much trashed if you go there first thing in the morning. Makes me proud of the area I live in even though flyover Country gets knocks from both coasts!
Not that way here in Norman -- shelves are stocked, nothing on the floor, and I don't see groups of teenagers and pre-teens roaming the aisles.
Maybe it is the mindset of the area and its people that makes crummy Walmarts! Noticed also in those same areas that their Mall stores have clothes on the floor where someone was going through the stack and knocked them off and they lay there as other people walk over them.

The one here in Edmond is the same way. Very clean, very friendly staff. My only gripe is that the cart returns are 1/4 mile away from 90% of the parking spaces. With three small children it becomes a pain.

Same here in northern VA. I am unhappy that they removed Maxim, but at the same time, I can either subscribe to the mag, or I can buy it at a local newsstand.
So Marky don't like it. I so. He is free to take his business elsewhere. Last time I checked, this was a free country.
