The way I look at it, if you don't like where you work, find a job somewhere else. If you don't like a certain shopping place, find somewhere else to shop.

That's exactly the attitude I have about this.

Your local Walmart sounds just like the one I shop in - I've run into my state Delegate, who also happens to be my attorney, many of my daughter's teachers, and even some of the wealthier residents of the area. In many ways it's no different than a local 5 & 10 or the hardware store - you're always ging to run into someone you know - or at least meet someone new :)

It also seems that everytime I turn around another new store or restaurant or office is opening up in the vicinity.

I'm glad Mrs.Nooseman has been participating in this thread and setting some of these people straight - whether they believe her or not, at least we know that the impressions we have gotten of the local Walmarts we patronize are not out of the ordinary.

I try but I don't seem to get through to them!

I can not believe the hatred some have toward Walmart!

Yes. Everybody shops at Wal-Mart here. I always have to make sure I am neatly dressed and have my makeup on because I always see half a dozen people I know and I can't ever just rush in and shop and rush out. LOL! I love that. Even if I go in late, there is always a cashier to talk to because they always are shocked by the amount of pet food I buy! Then I get to bore them with stories about Harm the Wonder Dog! ROFLOL!
