People of Wal-Mart....unite!!!

<p>And I feel just the other way about it, i'm not going to shop at wasmart just to save a few Penny's on toilet paper and shampoo and have to fightall the stinky cheese balls that shop there!! <br><br> I hate that place sooo much I could almost...........Just look at the people that shop there!! And that's about it!!</p>

I understand what you mean, but those same type of people shop everywhere else too, including wherever you do shop. From the most exclusive shops to thecheapest markets, that section of society exists. Also, for me personally, I don't even notice the other customers in a store when I shop for the mostpart. I am there to get in, get what I need, and get it home.<br><br>I do like the site though and I am glad they update it, because it is very funny for sure!

Maybe some of the shoppers shop there as a means to survive on a limited income, which may not be their fault. Some people are down on their luck, or havedisabilities or other situations that may put them on the lower income level. They could be in a rut that they cannot get out of, or are working on gettingout of. So they can't afford the nicest clothes. They could be survivors of some very rough times. I don't believe we should think we are classierthan them, just more fortunate.<br>Count your blessings before you call someone you don't know, or know their circumstances in life, "cheese balls".<br><br>Gosh, I feel so compassionate. That being said, I bookmarked the site to stay up to date with it. Some of the pics/captions are people seeking attention likesome people like to do. I liked the Waldo guy...<br><br>We were at Costco yesterday having lunch after shopping, and my wife said the guy behind me needs to be on a website...he had a long braided beard. She saidsomeone should take his picture. I said he is a LOT bigger than me, and I'm certainly not going to take the pic. How brave or crazy are the people takingthese pictures at Wal-Mart????<br>

That's all true but it's a cycle we should break IMO. Many are making little money because they no longer can make decent money making televisions,refrigerators, ovens, bicycles....well, you name it.<br><br>Not long ago refrigerators had a minimum 2 year warranty. You could find them with 5. Now you can't find one with more than 6 months. It's because theyare crap. You save up front but lose in the long run and work at 7-11.

I agree there are some crazy people shopping at Walmart...but they are also shopping everywhere else, someone just hasnt made a site about it yet.<br><br>I shop at Walmart for convenience. I could go to Target for "every day" stuff, HEB for groceries, then Autozone to get my oil change stuff, then HomeDepot to get furnace filters, then the pet store to get cat food and litter, landscaping supply shop for mulch and fertilizer...yada yada yada<br><br>OR, I can go to ONE store, maybe save "only a few pennies" per item, but also a day of running ALL OVER town trying to hit all these otherplaces...and for what...to say I am "better" for not having shopped at Walmart?

Working in retail my whole live has jaded me in a way. I see people lots of people everyday. All kinds of people day in and day out. I lost sympathy for thosethat do not try to better them self because they are OK with living off the coat tails of everyone else. <strong>They have to shop at Walmart because Walmartshut down everything else and they don't buy but from China.</strong> But That's not Walmarts fault!! It's your fault for shopping there!!<br><br>A Famus quote from one of my customers " YOU ALL TAKE EBT UP IN HERE?"<br>

To each his/her own, but I'll go the extra distance and pay the extra buck to help keep the vanishing mom-and-pop stores (no unions and yes, they are herein Long Beach - I can recommend good ones for hardware, food and car parts) in business. Besides, the "Indiana Jones"-type adventure it requires tolocate any damned thing in a big-box store after parking 150 yards away takes the same amount of time. But, that's just me...

I think alot of it has to do with where you live too.<br><br>In bigger areas you DO have tons of choices. You can go to all those places and its just as convenient.<br><br>In Cincy if you wanted daily stuff you could do Target, Meijer, Walmart, Kmart and many other places.<br><br>You get Target and Walmart here....and I've never cared for Targets "style" of paying extra for "fluff". Alot of times you just wantwhat you want, get it and be done with it.
