    I'm kind of forced to shop there as a college student with no car. There is a bus that drives students to walmart and ONLY walmart on the weekends.

    Only reason I shop there is because everything else in this shithole closes too early.. I only ever go to the grocery part, can't imagine anything I'd need to buy in the rest.. There really should be more 24 hour grocery stores. :rolleyes:

    Oh I admit,I do shop there sometimes...it's because they're one of the only department stores around here now and also,because sometimes I just can't afford to buy things online or elsewhere. I try to keep it to a minimum...and in general,I hate Wal-Mart worse than going to the dentist. I feel like I am trapped inside an ant hill everytime I go in there. The grocery part is even worse than the rest...some people in there will run you down with their shopping cart if you don't get outta the way lol.

    I will not step foot in a Wal-Mart store. I don't care if I have to go further out of my way to buy items that I normally would be purchasing at a store such as that, I refuse to shop there.

    I've shopped there before, but haven't been there in a long time. We just discussed how they don't pay their employees enough, so the employees end up on public assitance for medical care and stuff...it's called the Walmart Tax. Anyone fimilar with it? This econ class has been a good experience...

    One of the only reasons I shop there is no stores for miles aside from it.. It takes me 20 minutes to get to wal-mart and would take me 45 or longer to get to any other store

    I dislike Wal-mart. Mainly b/c they are a big supporter of RFID chips.
    I do my best to not shop there.

    I dislike Walmart because everytime I go in there, I get horrible service. In my view, the workers treat their jobs like it's death! They snap at me whenever I want to buy fabric (because they have to cut it and all), the lines are super long and super slow, it's hard to get one of the many people aimlessly wondering around to open one. They are putting all of the smaller stores that I like out of business! I can't name one product that I've bought from Walmart that has not fallen appart. Sure, walmart is cheaper, but thats only because they pay the companies to make their products with lower quality.

    I need not say more.
