Let me start off by saying that i absolutely loathe walmart and all aspects of its existance. I have my reasons(personal and otherwise) and i could probably go on for an hour about it. Anyway, i figured this would spark an interesting debate overall. I'd like to hear all of your thoughts on this topic.

As much as I hate walmart, there is no place that is more fun to go to at 3 in the morning. You see some really f-ed up people in there at 3am.

There's a lot of reasons why Wal-Mart sucks, but the main reason why I don't go there is the scum of the surrounding place that you are living at seem to congregate all at that store.

I'm not a big fan of either, as I feel around my area they are both filled with the same kind of people. And they are always short stocked. BJ's Wholesale is where its at for me...they even have a huge BJ's liquor store at mine.

I am actually VERY impressed with the direction Target has gone in, once they realized that going head to head with Walmart they would lose.

Their home furnishings section is actually nice, and some of their clothes are good quality. Their prices are still reasonable, and their home branded food products are unique and appealing.

I prefer Target over Wal-Mart, even if the prices are a tad higher. The aisles are wider and things seem more spread out. Target just gives me a comfy feeling, unlike the "I'll shoot everyone in here" feeling I get in Wal-Mart. I know that some ninnymuggins figured my town's Wal-Mart aisles to be wide enough for two people to get by with MILLIMETERS to spare between carts. You get a fat f*ck in one of those motorized things, you have to go around by choosing a different aisle (which is usually taken up by more fat f*cks).

I won't get into the scumbags navigating the parking lot like Cole Trickle. That's another thread.

My small town of ~8,000 people got a Super Wal-Mart a few years ago. It will hereafter be referred to as The Wal-Mart, as that is what most sheeple here call it.

Its existence brought down two local grocers. So, now, if I want some steak and don't want to leave town to get it, I HAVE to get it from The Wal-Mart.

Of course, Target isn't that different from Wal-Mart. I guess Wal-Mart just does it better (taking over the world, that is).

There's just something about Wal-Mart that tells all the dirtbags, "Hey, come on in, we accept you." I'm not talking about the dirtbags that come in to buy groceries and whatnot, but the skeezers that hang out (aka walk up and down aisles for hours, never buying anything but a pack of smokes). And they smell. Oh God, do they smell.

I know this little rant took many directions. But, I believe Wal-Mart (and associated mentality) to be the root of all evil.

You have certainly touched on many of the issues that i have with walmart in general. lol The smaller aisles at walmart in conjunction with the amount of people that crowd them drives me NUTS!

The man is a prophet of wisdom.

It's truly amazing in the different class of people that shop at target in contrast to walmart overall imo. Anytime i've ever gone to walmart i've ALWAYS walked out of there frustrated and annoyed beyond belief.

The thing that brings all the trash, scum, low-lifes, drug dealers, etc, etc to Wal-mart is the 'low low prices' since that is what they can afford.


The higher the prices, typically the more 'refined' the individuals go to due to more wealth, and probably more education. The more education, typically the less 'trashy' per se.


Of course there is always exceptions to the rule.

I remember one time I went to Wal-mart, there was this individual wearing a t-shirt that said, 'You raise your flag, I'll raise mine' (or something to that effect) with a large confederate flag on the front.



.......classy.

True. There are many factors overall that contribute to walmarts' less than desireable presentation/image imo.
