worst things about Walmart?

The trashy people, which includes the majority of their
customers & employees. I havent been in a walmart in 5-6 years,
but I can only imagine that it's even worse. Never ever bought groceries there. Thankfully, we have other options: Target, Amazon...

Just discovered Walmart.com

Its free delivery with a 40.00 purchase.

If you aren't in a hurry for something, it works great. And you don't have to deal with the "employees".

Is this what we're complaining about now? I realize this isn't the first time but you'd think after the 10th time, some guilt would kick in.

Life is so easy for us that it seems most are severely taking it for granted.

I hate to be that guy who preaches but y'all need perspective.

This thread makes me sad.

Wal Mart has destroyed countless family businesses and consequently customer service is now practically extinct in the retail sector. Wal mart is awful.

Lol no.

Wal Mart took what they did and did it better.

Every solid family store in my hometown still thrives with Walmart. They also saved Americans billions of dollars on groceries, dollars that were spent on other things instead.

The workers

Kmart

I can’t remember when I was last inside a KMart. But I can remember that it made me very depressed, I evaluated every flaw of my life in that 15 min, and I wanted to kill myself for the decisions that led to me ending up inside a Kmart.

I honestly haven’t stepped foot in a Wal Mart in three years. It’s not because I think I’m above it and it’s not because I don’t like saving money. It’s because I can’t put up with all the bullshite you described. I get so angry in that place it’s a health hazard for me.

A big factor in the Walmart experience is when you go. Early morning is usually better, with Sunday being the best. You’ll see mostly families in church attire and those folks are polite. I love my local Walmart for commodity items like paper towels, soap, etc. I buy produce and meat at the Sprouts down the street or the local Market Street. My local Walmart has two self checkout areas with about 8 stations each and a few lanes dedicated to self checkout of larger volumes.

People, especially trashy people, don’t drive past a few WalMarts to shop at the one by you. Those trashy people represent your neighborhood; those are your peers. Maybe it’s time for you to move to a little nicer neighborhood.
