<font color=pink>That was so dirty Hiero...good job :D

As for me: cheesy commercials :rolleyes:

And why do they have to have "super" stores, why can't they all be the same size?
"Should we go to Wal-mart or Super Wal-mart..."
So ridiculous [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

<font color=lime>"Super" is the stores with a grocery section added. We had a regualar WM for a long time, then we got the Super WM, then another regular WM, now they are going to add the grocery section to that one and build a whole new full super WM in Pasco. We will have a super in all 3 towns. I think it depends on the populaton and demographics and such. </font>

Home depot a subsidary of Walmart, my dad works at home depot, and boy he has said a mouthfull about management. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#00FF00">Home depot totally sucks, worst customer service ever. Everytime I go there I have to wait 45 mins to obtain help as the employees are busy doing other things like talking on there stupid cell phones. I try to avoid that store as much as possible, I go to Totem, or even Canadian Tire, usally a little more expensive but the customer service rocks.

I am OK with Walmart they often have good deals for the same products. I bought my Daredevil DVD for $10, were as it was $15(used at Blockbuster) and up elsewere. Customer Service is acceptable at Walmart. Usually do most of my shopping at COSCO however.

My two words: Cheap, conveniant</font>

Unwashed masses

I'll admit that I shop there sometimes. I hate the whole experience, but it's cheap and I'm poor. I don't kid myself about Walmart being a good thing, though. The corporation's standard business practice is to exploit its workers and to eliminate all competition.

i like some things from wally world. but their kids clothes suck! you have to buy a size bigger than your kid to get it to fit and then after 2 months of washing it doesn't fit anymore. i prefer k-mart's kids clothes. got justi a 4/5 there one summer and when my mom started putting her in 5/6 and 6 she still fit that 4/5.

and don't get me started about the quality of wally's meats (steaks chicken, etc.) even their purdue chicken sucks! i always have to remove about 1/4 pound of fat from the chicken.

other wise i like it! great craft and fabric section, conveniant hours (had to get a tire repair kit once, around 1 or 2am,) mostly friendly people, 2 different brands of cheap diapers (ok so my kids can't use the one brand, it gives them a radh, but still it's nice,) and they have ferret food. if they didn't have ferret food we would have to go to mechanicsburg to get it.

so my two words- cheap, conveniant.

I have a few:

Redneck Heaven
Beatchore Kids
Needa Buggy?
Immigrant Labor
Return Heaven
Stormwater Runoff
Urban Sprawl
Wally World
Midnight Groceries

I'm sure I have more.

<font color=lime>I am not sure how to take this. So becouse I am poor and choose to shop at WM, does that mean I am a stinky, dirty, tooth missing, mullet wearing, redneck, just supporting an economicaly devestating corporation?
Hmm. </font>

hey lk i can commiserate. many "norma" people shop there tho. perhaps most of these redneck hating people simply don't understand that if they know that ONLY rednecks shop there, they must be one too.
