We have a Wal-Mart not too far from me but I almost never go there. Target is farther away but it has pretty much the same merchandise and I find it has a more pleasant atmosphere. Wal-Mart... I don't know, it just rubs me the wrong way.

I'll happily pay more at another store just to keep from going to Wal-Mart. It's overcrowded, there's not enough space, too many horribly-behaved kids(and don't think you can escape 'em by going at one o'clock am, either, 'cause those parents drag the kids everywhere they go, night or day), and when they run out of an item, it might be months before they reorder it. Plus, I always wind up having to park like a half-mile away and walk, due to the traffic.

It's not much better at the mall, either, so Frankie really isn't missing much by not being able to go there!

And I agree, you never know what they're going to have because they don't reorder stuff like they should.

Lol... this is turning into an "I hate Wal-Mart" thread...

Consider this:

As you know from the info under my avatar, I live in Bush Alaska. In my part of Alaska, the only major retail chain you guys (Cassini, pbl, and scary dream, plus any other NF forum users with access to a Wal-Mart) would recognize and is from the "Lower 48" is a SubWay. There IS NO Wal-Mart, mall, McDonalds, etc.-- that stuff is 400 airmiles away, in Anchorage. For my family, a trip into Anchorage is a bit of a treat because we can get the fast food we miss (even if it isn't all that healthy; you have to die of something, though, right?) and we can but the things we can't get at the stores at home.

Still hate Wal-Mart, guys?
