Do you shop at Walmart?

[Satan]

:p

[mongo]

no. never. fuck them.

[hatepoppy]

not that i havent, but i cant remember the last time i did.

[johnnychacski]

Once or twice...more of a Target guy.

[UNC]

Prolly between 5-10 times a year.

and half of that is around christmas.

[janois]

When I have to. Which is always.
Little to dark for my taste. Plus all the ******* are rude.

[Satan]

Prolly between 5-10 times a year.

and half of that is around christmas.You have to do your photo shoots somewhere.

[Titus_Pullo]

I like to hit on the trashy cashiers. They will fuck you on the first date if you take them to McDonalds and let you have anal if you top off a Big Mac with a quality flick like Fast and Furious.

[UNC]

You have to do your photo shoots somewhere.

haha

I didn't buy anything that day.

I was just meeting whores.

[Jericho]

I have zero angers against low prices

[STDSkillz]

Cheap shit = win while in college. Pah, I'll still be shopping at Wal-Mart if I ever have money.

[ShitBreak]

Wait...there are other places to shop besides Wal-Mart?

You guys haven't been to Oklahoma, have you?

[Satan]

Cheap shit = win while in college. Pah, I'll still be shopping at Wal-Mart if I ever have money.Having money makes you realize you prefer a better shopping experience to saving 80 cents on something.

[mongo]

not to mention a better product.

There's like four Wal-Marts in close vicinity to where I live. Three of them are mostly crowded by Mexicans, the other one is mostly white people. You can guess which one I go to.

[Will-Kill]

Only at the good one across town. yes there are good ones.

[Archangel]

Yeah, I never got the point of degrading one's self for a 30 cent saving on a tin of beans.

We thankfully kicked out Wal-Mart out of Germany, and what discount supermarkets we have (I hear Aldi is doing business in the US now, too) are decent enough - however, the supermarket closest to my flat (80 feet v the 200 feet it'd take to the nearest discount place) is pretty upmarket, so laziness pulls me there more often than not.

[Satan]

There's like four Wal-Marts in close vicinity to where I live. Three of them are mostly crowded by Mexicans, the other one is mostly white people. You can guess which one I go to.The nearest one to me is a 20 minute drive. I have multiple Targets within a ten minute drive. I have Luckys and Safeway within 5 minutes. So I have absolutely no incentive to set foot in those places.

[Aegis]

I has to many teeths to shop there.

[Gary_Busey]

It's out of the way for me. I'd grocery shop there if it wasn't.

[IdiotBrain]

It's either Wal-Mart or H.E.B. where I live.


There's a target, too... but fuck that noise, I used to work there.

[Archangel]

That Treasure Island in our building in Chicago was sweet.

[Rover]

No problem with Walmart. Oddly enough, their prepackaged and canned foodstuffs taste exactly like any other legitimate grocery store. Would I buy a sofa from Walmart? No. Would I buy a cheap plastic toy to give as crappy gift to a child for Christmas? Yes.

There's like four Wal-Marts in close vicinity to where I live. Three of them are mostly crowded by Mexicans, the other one is mostly white people. You can guess which one I go to.To the one with the Mexicans so you can get even cheaper electronics in the parking lot.

Actually, Aldis here is lower cost than Wal-Mart on alot of things, and its alot shittier. Theres nothing "degrading" about going to Wal-Mart.

[Gary_Busey]

If I were really poor, I'd buy all my shit at Wal-Mart. Do what you gotta do.

[Jericho]

Even if you have money, why pay more for the same exact product when you could get it on the cheap?

[Kerjack]

The only people that need to shop there are the elderly, and that is primarily for meds.

Everyone could either decide to stop buying crap they don't need there, or drop some other luxury like satellite or eating out 15 times a month.

And how would this benefit them? They end up with no satellite, and paying more for their stuff. And most likely having to drive to 4 different places to get the stuff. Oh yeah, they get to cling to their blind hatred of Wal-Mart, I guess that really helps them.....to..umm.....bitch about Wal-Mart.

[Kerjack]

Theres nothing "degrading" about going to Wal-Mart.

Seriously, stop shopping there for 6-12 months and go back and see what you think. Every time I walk in now it just amazes me how shitty of an experience it is, its like some fucked up 80's movie showing what a decrepit society we will be in 20 years... except its real.

Dirty store, dirty people, no manners, tvs and posters pumping out propaganda at every turn, reciept checks, ect ect. Its horrible.

All box stores suck ass, Wal-mart just is leading they way to shit town. If it wasn't for them the slide we have seen of pushing suppliers to china would have been slower. A temp rise in standard of living isn't worth the loss in GNP and other shitty policy.

This is true. I agree with this one hundred percent. I don't want to spend more and feel like I am throwing money away -- whether you can afford it or not.

I try to find other places to save though, because Wal-Mart treats employees like shit, underpays them, and is ruthless against their vendors. They run mom-and-pop shops out of business in an almost predatory fashion. I think that sucks.

[Titus_Pullo]

Treats their employees like shit? Underpays them, and is ruthless against their vendors? First of all, show me a grocery store that pays more than wal-mart does. Then tell me how Wal-mart requiring vendors to sell them their products cheaper, and passing that savings on to the consumer, is a bad thing?

That's your value system. That's not mine. I want to shop at Walmart and afford to eat out 15 times a month and buy satellite TV.

Just like if I were to tell you that you don't need to eat a cow, you can get all the protein you need from processed bean curd. You still want to eat the cow. I still want to shop at Walmart.

I go to Wal*Mart when it has something I really want on sale. Otherwise no. I'm lazy and none of them are nearby.

No man, it's a good thing to pass on savings to consumers, but that is not where it ends. In some cases, Wal-mart has been able to force vendors to allow Wal Mart to open and scour their books, and even require vendors to open permanently staffed offices in Bentonville. Wal Mart's tactics ultimately give us less variety, fewer competitors in categories, and only lead to vendors cutting corners in quality.

Locally owned supermarket groups in the area where I live do pay better than Wal Mart, but more importantly treat the employees better with more favorable rules. Your area could be different. I'm no expert, but my opinion is Wal Mart is the worst of the mass retailers in terms of doing business with them.

[BIG PIZZLE]

I dont have a walmart. I have a Target. They have my cereal in big boxes.

[Draven X 23]

Why wouldn't you want to shop at Wal*Mart? They give out PSPs with porn.

Hey, parents: if you're buying a games console from Wal-Mart, do the right thing and check it out first yourself. That way, you'll avoid what happened to poor little Eliso Tovar.

See, Eliso was treated to a late, late Christmas present from his mum last week. She took him to a Wal-Mart in Manatee County, Florida, and bought him a PSP. All was well!

Until he took it home and turned it on. And found that the wallpaper was of a naked chick. And that the PSP somehow had a memory stick already inside it that was full of "hundreds of pornographic pictures".

Wal-Mart offered to give the kid a new PSP game. Eliso's mum, Tamatha, is having none of it, and wants a whole new PSP instead.

Again, they have the right to do this. They have no obligation to sell a particular product in their stores, period. Less variety? Can you think of a brand you have to travel elsewhere to get? Are you saying there would be brands right now, if wal-mart didnt do this? I dont believe that assertion.

I dont believe you. Please list specific "favorable rules" that they have that wal-mart doesnt. "Worst" seems like a pretty relativistic word.

[nothingman]

I live 20 miles from a wal-mart and 55 from a target. you can say that you hate wal-mart, which i do, however it's a necessary evil where i live. my problem with them is that in a town of pop. 5000 they feel the need to abandon their building that has been adequate for 15 yrs and build a super wal-mart, start selling groceries and proceed to kill the other businesses in town.

Yes I can think of many brands I travel elsewhere to get, yes I think there would be more brands competing within certain categories without Wal Mart tactics.

More favorable rules at local suprmarkets in my area include better hours, vacation policies, work environment, discount, phone calls, and breaks. Not to mention no discrimination by race, gender, or for disabilities. Wal Mart's shitty treatment of employees has been covered by many credible sources.

Believe what you want. I know this, they are not in business to save you money. They are in business to make vast sums, and they are damn good at that.

[The GWD]

I usually don't need to shop at Wal*Mart because I work in a grocery store. But I don't give a shit how they treat their employees, they're not honor-bound to their job. They could fucking leave or even try getting an education.

All I know is that I got The Good The Bad and The Ugly for 5 bucks at 2 in the morning. And I guess I don't get the whole "trashy" aspect of it, because everybody's trashy in some way. I'm sure there's some of the trashiest upper class folks you'll ever see at Men's Wearhouse, fitting their slovenly frames with suits for pictures to try and impress whatever internet dating website they plan on plastering their pathetic selves all over. Meanwhile at Wal-Mart there's a single mother of 2 children just trying to get by in the world. Sometimes people's views on what is trashy is backwards. It takes all types, and I'm not going to be the pompous asshole to judge them.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Tell that bitch to stop spending my money.

[Rumpleforeskin]

I try to avoid Walmart as much as humanly possible, even if it means spending a little more. Not because I hate them, just because they are all filthy and filled with retards. However, I line up inside one for 6 hours in order to get an Xbox 360 when they came out. The number of weird and fantastical creatures that crossed my path was nothing short of astounding.

[Archangel]

It takes all types, and I'm not going to be the pompous asshole to judge them.

$5 DVDs are awesome. But that's it.

[Mr. Brown]

First it's far from where I live so doesn't make that that much sense to go, second I've seen some documentaries about their business practices and I don't agree with them. Third, I don't need to make such large purchases that it's not cost effective.

[Limp]

Some of the best people watching in the world can be found inside Wal-Mart.

[ShitBreak]

Luckily, I won't have to shop at Wal-Mart much anymore once I move...because they just built a new Super Target about 5 miles from my house.

But other than that...there are 3 Wal-Marts within 3 miles of my current home. I really only go to one, because it's actually nice. The other two suck. It's got everything you need, at a cheaper price and is closer to me. Going somewhere else is fucking retarded.

And I don't care they treat their employees bad. I don't work there. Don't fucking care. They could literally take huge shits on their employees for all I know. As long as I can get my groceries, I'm good to go.

I won't deny that I do go to walmart occasionally. I don't avoid it because of the poor white trash stigma, but because it's crowded as fuck and I could see myself in a ghetto fight in an aisle because some dirty fat bitch ran her food stamp basket into mine and called me a bitch because I wouldn't move. I can only shop on the weekends and there's also like 500 mexican families crowding the aisles and it feels like the flea market.

[nothingman]

If y'all really lived in a rural area, like me, you'd truly understand what a necesarry evil wal-mart is. I found myself wanting to leave a buggy of landscaping items I'd picked up at Lowes the other night because I realized that the same items were just dollars cheaper at wal-mart. I went ahead and made the purchase, because of the time invested and I'd drove 55 miles, but money talks and bullshit walks. When you have no options and the one that you do have is cheap, you tend to gravitate toward it.

[Satan]

So what you're saying is that you're a whore.

[Phil Theehor]

I voted "OMG I LOVE WALMART" only because "I love Walmart so much I want to sex it and write songs about it and give all of my children 'Walton' as a middle name" was not an option.

I'm at my local Walmart every Saturday morning. I'm on a first-name basis with the manager. I buy every commodity item that we purchase there.

And I don't just buy stuff there because it's cheap and convenient. I drive a little farther to shop there out of principle. I admire the shit out of Walmart Stores, Inc. They are the best in the world at logistics, leveraging buying power and union busting. And because of their incredible competence, they really do help families stretch budgets.

Are there demonstrable downsides to Walmart? Yes. I will allow that they are rough on employees. And I don't appreciate that they let their judgments on culture interfere with their business. However, if you follow this stuff, you'll see that they are getting better.

Walmart's not perfect, but neither were Reagan, Ted Williams or 80's porn flicks. That won't stop me from loving them all.

[nothingman]

So what you're saying is that you're a whore.
I'm speaking of spending money, not making money, I believe that that makes me the John in the whore/customer scenario.

[Willam]

I DESPISE Walmart. They are a perfect example of the death of American made products. They beat their suppliers down on price to the point where the suppliers HAVE to use overseas manufacturers just to stay afloat. I read once that if Walmart were a nation, they'd be China's 7th largest trading partner.

Plus, it seems everyday there is another lawsuit filed against Walmart on behalf of their employees.

I know they have super low prices but I avoid it like the plague, just on principle.

[BIG PIZZLE]

I think it's stupid to not shop at walmart on principle. If they have what you want and they have it for cheap, go there and pick it up. You dont shop there because they're not nice? Newsflash: nobody's nice, fuck you pussy.

Edit: I didnt even read the post above mine until after I posted. William is a pussy.

Costco is another company I admire. However, people erroneously try to make an apples/apples comparison between the two. The Costco model is much less labor-intensive because of the bare-bones presentation and the bulk products. Costco uses less, but higher-skill labor. Hence, the better wages.

I am in the same boat with you. I actually don't mind the premise of walmart. I love the idea of inexpensive things. I mean little garden toys, seeds, plants, paper towels shouldn't be expensive. But at my local walmart.. every bitch with curlers and Marvin The Martian jammies comes out in full effect. I don't even know who told them wearing curlers and house shoes out was acceptable, because it's not. It also always smells like farts and Popeye's chicken.

So yeah I usually go across the town to Target and pay a little extra for my seeds and flip flops.

You can have my seed for free.

Unless it's boxer briefs and socks. 6 pack for $4.99!

I'd rather shoot myself than wear a single shred of fabric which came from that place.

walmart rocks when your broke.

Only when they've got something no one else does. The latest AC/DC CD for example, cheap unedited CDs, cheap DVDs, cheap beer, cheap Coke, etc.

I needed a cheap pair of shorts and a cheap pair of sweatpants to wear to bed. I was able to get both at Wal Mart for under $10 total. That rocks because I'm wearing the shit to bed. Who gives a fat flying fuck where the fucking shit fucking came from? As for the rest of the fucking store, they have shit for cheap. I have two kids that make going to get a cheap pair of shorts and a cheap pair of sweatpants impossible without a trip through the toy aisle. Which instantly adds $20 to my trip. At least at Wal Mart I can get some decent fucking shit for $20.

Although unlike the Pathmark by my house, I can't get away with stealing shit so really that's kind of a negative.

Some of the best people watching in the world can be found inside Wal-Mart.

I can get 90% of the things that aren't quality necessary i.e. motor oil, soap, underwear, etc etc at Walmart. It's close to where I live. It has everything under one roof. It is usually pretty damn easy on my wallet.
The things where I would be picky such as food, electronics, or clothes I would usually go to shops that are specific to those items.

On the whole I would say Walmart pretty much kicks ass, but I wouldn't say they were any better or worse than any other mass retailer like Meijer or whatever. I love all the buy everything you need under one roof stores.

the walmart near me just lost more than half its parking lot because of a massive condo construction project underway, I hated going there before and I hate going there now even more because there's nowhere to fucking park
