Well where i live, the concept of walmart is really new
As a matter of fact Walmart will be introduced here in a few months so let us see what we have in the store for us, as it sounds really promising and being a retail giant it will totally dominate everything |

I live in the middle of nowhere, so Wal-Mart is quite literally the ONLY place to find certain things. Unless I want to drive more than an hour to find a real store, that is. We have grocery stores and hardware stores here, but we don't have any entertainment-related stores. As in: you can't buy CDs anywhere but Wal-Mart. The only place to find DVDs other than Wal-Mart is Blockbuster (when they're selling their used DVDs).
So of course, I have to go to Wal-Mart at least once a week. My family and I do most of our grocery shopping there because the prices are lower than anywhere else, but we also pick up all sorts of other junk there too. Cleaning products, paper goods (printer paper, toilet paper, paper towels, whatever) and even some clothes (socks and things like that). Rumor has it, though, that Target is coming. I can't wait. The Wal-Mart in this area really needs some good competition. It might actually force Wal-Mart to improve their horrible customer service. (At the store here...the people greeters don't look at you. And they don't say hello, even when you smile and say it to them first. This happens a LOT - it's not just when the store's really busy or anything like that.) This particular store has HALF of ONE aisle devoted to books. The other half is devoted to magazines. That's IT for books. I don't even waste my time bothering anymore. Overall: I hate this store and will dance around in the streets when/if Target opens its doors right up the street from Wal-Mart. |

I used to be, back when I lived in New York and Texas...but there really aren't any Walmarts out here in California...
Target for sure though. |

I work at Wal-Mart! I actually like it a lot more than I thought I would. And it was really handy at Christmas time, because I could shop for people right after work.
I know that a lot of people have trouble with new Wal-Mart opening in their communities, how it takes away from other businesses and all of that. But where I live (in the middle of Texas), there was nothing for miles around except for fields before this one opened up. Suddenly, all sorts of businesses opened around it. Restaurants, specialty stores... not to mention the fact that the store I work at employs over 300 people. |

I like going to Walmart to look at the things they sale. Especially I like to take my time in the electronics department. Just look at the computers and how much they cost and the specs. Its just satisfying for me. I really want to buy some of the things but I can't afford it sometimes. Besides computers I like to look at the mp3 players and basically all the electronics and accessories. Its like a mini best buy for me or something. Although I rather perfer Fry's Electronics which I'm sure most of you haven't heard of, I think.
Besides electronics there's many food choices and its nice just going to shop and you can find better prices and different brands. I feel like a woman sort of even though buying groceries nowadays shouldn't be a feminine job these days. For clothes i rather prefer the mall or some other outlet. Its a good place to go with your friends and just be retarded. Maybe even play hide and go seek. haha |
