Have not stepped in a WalMarks in over 5 years. Too trashy. Have ordered a couple things from them online.

Yeah, even though I rarely go inside of one, that's the same box of cereal you are paying 40% more for at the local store. I'd rather keep more of my money if it's the same product.

I prefer liars.

If the battery in my remote garage door opener goes out I am going to Walmart that day if not immediately. I am not ordering from Amazon and waiting a week or going to a local watch store or grocery store and paying three times more than it is worth.

Anyone who says different is a lying POS. Nothing personal.

We only have one Walmart so it stays ridiculously crowded. My main reason for avoiding.

We have a ton of them. We have Whole Foods, Target, Costco, Fresh Market, Trader Joe's and tons of local stores as well.

We do more specialty shopping at those places and Walmart for the generic stuff.

It's been a little over a year since I've been to a Walmart. Even for the last year or two I went there, it was mainly for those Marketplace take and bake pizzas they sell. The quality went down and it was no longer worth the hassle of going into a Walmart to get them.

Walmart has done more for poor people than the government has over the past 50 years.

We have a chain called Fred Meyer here that mostly takes the place of Walmart. It costs a little more but you don't have to fight the crowds.

I don't mind a Wal Mart I am a smart and efficient shopper. I wait in line longer than it takes me to shop.

I avoided WM like the plague for years.

Decided to stop by one day out of location convenience, and their self check out is actually pretty solid now.

Number of self check out kiosks has risen drastically, and is now set up as an entire section, a little different than normal check out lines.

Started going there more often because of it, and never once had to interact with anyone working there.

I don't know anyone that goes into Walmart if they don't absolutely have to.

We actually started using Walmart again when they started the grocery pickup. We had been shopping at Target for years just to avoid the lines and crowds. It's convenient and saves one of us an hour or two every few weeks.

Wal-Mart has done more to raise the standard of living for the average American than just about any other person, country, or business to ever exist.

If you haven’t been to one in a long time, good for you, in a lot of ways that’s a luxury. But to a lot of people, Wal-Mart is a life saver. Without what they brought to the table, everyday shite would cost a lot more and there’d be fewer options.

I take pride in the fact that I shop at a Walmart at least once a week.

That makes me better than you.

That is Kroger and you are being ripped off every time you shop. Sad that you are proud about it and would even admit shopping at that shithole.

I buy stuff that is on sale at Kroger. If what I need isn't on sale it would be just as cheap to buy it at a convenience store. Kroger had 12-packs over $5 years ago. First time I ever saw that ridiculous crap.

Congrats on wasting a lot of money. I always wondered why my huge Kroger that has 12 shoppers in it on a busy day stays open. Thanks!!!!
