A Necessary Evil???

Certainly I'm not the only one on the site that really dislikes Walmart (hate is a strong word but may apply).

This does raise questions for myself, like why? Price, no-they usually have some of the best prices on items.

Convieniece, no-damn theres a Super Walmart 4 blocks from my house, that rules out selection being a problem too.

Employees? Well you have to be careful to not offend people here, I'm sure most have a relative in some form that

works or has worked there (and likes it). I didnt know any until Darth_Chibius took the job as the wardrobe and hygeine

director for the greeters. Bravo Darth, much improved! I really havent had any employee problems, other than trying to

find one when you need to get a popular item thats not displayed other than 12 feet high on a shelf. Whats up wit dat?

Man their return policy is very liberal, pretty much dont need a reciept to return most items. They do have really crappy

gaming acc. and supply area, definately points deducted there, eh?

It seems odd but I will drive miles out of my way and usually pay more money to avoid going there.........strange.

Maybe others can give their reasons but I think the #1 reason I dont like Walmart is: Checkout. After following the male

ritual of wandering aimlessly around their store, covering much of the same ground far to many times and being there

15-45 minutes longer than you thought it would take-you approach: THE CHECKOUT LINE. Yes this is the part that urks

me, 50 freaking check stations- and 5 are open! You people are retards!!!!!!!!! I guess having the largest profit turned of

any company last year (or some statistic like that), profits are met by conservative labor application. *sigh*

sorry about he cobbled sentences, I suck!

WalMart Greeter A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into WalMart with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. The WalMart Greeter said pleasantly "Good morning, and welcome to Walmart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?" The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "Hell no they ain't. The oldest one's 9 and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?" "I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am,"replied the greeter. "I just couldn't believe you got laid twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at WalMart"

good joke rich. i love walmart. now i dont mean that im offended by what anyone says here. its just nice to go there and find everything you dont need at a nearly affordable price. and the stuff you need is pretty cheap. and the crap you go home with is quality reflected by price. but they have stuff for a steal sometimes. i always stand in front of a tv/computer/home theater counting my pennies and wondering if i can go without eating for 5 days.

I'd gone to WalMart twice before I found out what kind of dirtbags run WalMart. Both times the store was crowded to the gills, and the employees were rude. Plus there was a fucking McDonalds inside! How stupid is that? Especially with all the fast food and a McDonalds that were right outside! Overall, a dismal experience. SC

The unwashed masses. I hate the unwashed masses. The GT was my own inside joke about how the great unwashed always make life difficult. I can get all the help I need, it is the customers that drive me nuts!!! Is it irony? Or internally directed sarcasm? Who knows....but one thing is for sure- I frickin' hate Wal-Mart! :)

Well I'm glad not to be the only Un-Walmartish person here. Thanks for everyones input, and SC- Mc-D's isnt one of my reg. places to eat, but the Walmart ones have served me some of the worst food I've ran across my pallet. They even screw up the fries, usually their only decent menu item. Wtf?

I don't mind the Wal-Mart here all that much, especially now that they have added the self-check registers. They are so convenient when you only have one or two things to pick up.
