<font color=lime>But they do carry top name brands, like Sony, Kenwood, etc., and have nothing to do with the manufacturing. They are mostly a retailer and thier "house brands" are mostly some food products and some clothing. They do retail cheap brands and you may get a "lemon", but another thing I have been very happy about is their return policy. They even returned an opened CDROM game that was cracked when I bought it. They very well could have said no, which I have had happen at Target.

Well...I have had good experiences and bad experiences with Walmart...

The main bad ones are as follows:

They built a SUPER one practically right next to the old one...

They HAD to add another couple of traffic lights in my area...

The drains in the parking lot are uphill from the lakes in the parking lot...

Walmart's crazy. Every time I go in there, some blind old woman is like "son, can you fetch that duvet cover offa the top shelf for me?" (I'm 6'5''). It's a great store for buying the base necessities of everyday life though. I often stock up on toiletries at Walmart. I would stay away from some of their other products though. Often when a store tries to branch off in too many directions, the quality suffers. So as for my description, I'm gonna run with "bulk basics = http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ons/icon14.gif " but "electronics and clothes = http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ons/icon13.gif "
