The college one was tolerable as of 3 years ago. And I’m talking about the Highland/college one.

Not so much….
Shooting at Wal Mart on Highland & Lee

I don’t know how people live on Bluebonnet Extension. You’re not really close to anything and everything near you is shared with the ghetto.

Try the one on Veterans right before Kenner - might as well be in Mexico. No habla de English.

Girlfriend lives near this Walmart so I go there on the reg and compared to most it’s fairly nice. Hell, one of the greeters, Mr. Murphy, and I chitchat briefly every time I go in there and he’s working. Almost feels like a local store.

Nearly any Walmart you go to around town is going to have moments of sketchiness depending on the time you go.

I shop at that Walmart occasionally and always go before noon. The culture is still in the bed.

I haven't been inside a Walmart in years. I do curbside pickup but that is it.

The one on west esplanade and Loyola might have a couple of less “visitors”‘shopping there but not by much

Gulf front Wal-mart in Galveston on a summer weekend afternoon.

And its not close.

Take all the stereotypes mentioned, but mix them all together. You have the local ghetto culture and their arch nemesis, Hispanic island royalty. A parking lot full of F-250's with plant baws and their whole family on vacation, a healthy cross section of the above mentioned who are semi-homeless, the bath salts militia, the strippers on meth contingent, the Eastern European 20 somethings living 12 to a unit in the apartment complex behind the Wal Mart who are in town for the summer to fill service industry positions, and rich suburban types on their way to the west end and their $15K a week beach rental with 12 kids and $2k of items in four carts looking like they are rethinking all of their life choices up to that point

I have been there at these times on three different occasions. After the first time, I swore I would never go back. The next two times, I only went because a bunch of buddies and I had been day drinking and we were there as spectators. It did not disappoint.

There are always 2-3 cop cars in the parking lot with lights flashing. And there is a Sonic in front of the parking lot.

I often wonder if it would be cool to have an app tracker of some kind to let people in the whole country enter in how many dirty diapers and fast food bags are found in the Walmart parking lots.
