I think I officially hate Walmart

I only do it when I judge people for excessively using roll-eyes in their posts.
Don't forget the locking emergency exits. And *locking employees inside the store*.

Good. This should solidify your feelings.
I used to hate Wal*Mart, since i felt it would drive out local mom and pops, but i realize they have the best deals and it's damn convenient, so i love Wal*Mart now.
How come Walmart can offer everything cheaper than Kmart etc?
My local Wal Mart did get rid of my Circus Peanuts. My favorite guilty candy.
Your WalMart is very different from the ones near me. I've never seen them sell anything used except Tvs that they had on display in the store.
If I was the one doing it it would still be stupid and petty. Besides, I'm gorgeous and I don't need to make fun of other people to feel confident about how awesomely beautiful I am.
^ That last sentence is Truth(tm). 
Big Lots has it for $3My main reason for ever going to Walmart is to check out the bargain-bin DVD's.
Hey, sometimes you can find a gem or two.
I found the collector's edition DVD of Sunset Blvd. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043014/ for $4.
FOUR BUCKS‼
It's like a total WIN.
Nah, but thanks!
I fail to see how leaving your house and going to a Walmart is more convenient than ordering it online and having it come to you.
The bigger you are the more bargaining power you have with your suppliers.
Say you're making widgets. Kmart, Target, Ace, Kroger, and Safeway are paying you $4 each and charging a retail price of $8 for them. Walmart will demand that you sell it to them at $3.50 each (so they can turn around and sell them for $7.50) or they won't stock your product in their stores. Since they have more stores than the other chains combined, you will take the hit and cut $0.50 off your price to them because you can make it up out of the smaller per unit profit of the 5,000,000 units you sold them.
That's what size can do for a business.
In my situation, I don't really have a choice but to shop at Walmart a lot to pick up little things I might need on the go. Aside from things generally being cheaper, as someone who frequently goes to work before the sun comes up, a number of Walmarts in my area are 24-hour stores and tend to be the only things open before I begin my commute.
Bullshit, Walmart has always treated me good. Of course, it probably helps that my girlfriend works there. They always treat her good too.
Having worked at Wal-Mart before, I can tell you even when something does sell well, they'll get rid of it. When that happens, I found there were two reasons:
1. The price of purchase from the whoesaler, went up (Wal-Mart litterally argues over one penny with companies).
2. They are having a hard time keeping the item in stock at the warehouse that supplies their particular store -- since the item sells so well, so rather than leave a blank shelf spot, they'll delete it and put something else there. That pissed mee off years ago when I used to buy the Qauker Oats Butterfinger granola bars. They sold like crazy, and for that very reason they got rid of it for a year or two, at one store.
Yes, I'm sure they treat you well.
I don't see how my comments on the typical patron of Walmart has anything to do with how well they as a company treat people.
I rarely ever have bad or negative experiences at Wal-Marts, but then again I've been in one of those run down, poorly kept stores I read about some cities having.
One of my negative experiences just happend a few days ago, and it pissed me off.
The soda I wanted, was not on the shelf -- empty. So, having worked at Wal-Mart, and having asked employees if there was anymore in the back, I know for a fact that just because something is empty, doesn't mean there isn't any in the back -- it could simply be no one has stocked it back up yet.
I went up to an employee and asked him if there was anymore of it; it's a no-name brand, so I had to take him to it to find out what it was. When he got there he didn't even read the UPC label and jsut looked at it, then me, and said, "We don't got any, try back later tonight".
WHAT THE FUCK???!!! Whyy in hte fucking hell would you have me walk you over there if THAT was going to be your reply??? Why the fuck couldn't you make an effort to even check or even find out what it was I was wanting? Like I would come back to Wal-Mart later in the night for one product.
I went across the street to Publix and THEY got my sale, along with two other purchases.

I'm just sick if hearing about how bad Walmart is. It's not.
