    Wal-Mart Empty Wal-Mart

    I never go to Wal-Mart personally. I don't like how they run smaller, local, and usually better stores out of business.

    I hate Wal-Mart. All the people that go there are white trash (at least where I live even though I live in a nice area).

    Why buy strawberries from California at Wal-Mart when you can buy them at a local farm? Oh yeah, the farm is out of business. Rolling Eyes

    Yeah. I like our little small-town convenience stores better. It was a long time before we had a Wal-mart, so most of the little shops stayed in business too (thanks to a large customer base).

    walmart is goodd to buy some things quick and its fun to play hide and seek in at 1 in the morning. idk we only have that and krogers and krogers is only groceries and sometimes more expensive so i guess walmart is better here.

    Anyone seen the Penn and Teller episode about Wal Mart? That pretty much sums up my views on it. Hooray for cheap prices!
