or the hot girls.........so true. it's either the hottest of women or best trailer trash around.
I shop at wal-mart occasionally. Usually I try and stop myself, simply because I too hate they way they kill small business... however there's days when I'm heading somewhere quick and need a bunch of things that would require multiple stops...end up stopping at Wal-mart instead...
And I'm not sure if Target is a whole lot better these days! Getting to be the same "everything under one roof" store BS..
Groceries all come from Sun-Mart in Moorhead.
Odds and ends from either Target.I think what disgusts me is that Wal-Mart wants to put in another damn store...

I don't even try to go to fargo walmart any more. If i need something from there then i just go to the moorhead walmart. it's closer for me but even if i'm next to fargos walmart and need something i will drive to moorhead.

walmart sucks....EVERYTHING they sell is inferior, its junk, i haven't bought one thing from walmart that was worth what i paid for it. I got a friend that bought handgun ammunition there and half of it misfired.....i hate walmart(and yet i still go there)

This is what I am talking about. I have hated going there because it is such a pain in the ass to deal with all the dumb fucking people who shop there.....yet I save money buying shit there so it kind of evens out. -
I was unemployed for a long time, and when I could barely afford things I went to Walmart. It made sense because my money simply was able to get me more things, and I only have to drive about 1/2 mile to get there so I saved on gas. I saw a documentary that aired on PBS about Walmart, and I decided I wanted to stop shopping there. After I got a job again and could afford to be a bit less picky, I swore off of Walmart. Fuck them.

i love walmart....here in Apple Valley anyways. The reason you guys hate walmart in Fargo and Moorhead could due to the management. The wal mart here in AV is awsome, I go in there, grap what I need, then go to the self check out. But then again, the wal mart in AV is one of the top five in the world or country.......

Ok, I do shop at walmart on occassion (sorry tony) but here is the reason why:
If I need (for example) socks, underwear, a toaster, car wash supplies, milk, pop, cereal, and bread I don't want to go to 2 or 3 stores and stand in line for 3 minutes at each one. I'd just as soon do all my shopping in one place and then stand in line for 9 minutes, in the long run I'm saving time by not having to run to target, bergs, and hornbachers. HOWEVER I won't go to walmart just to grocery shop, I live way to close to Sunmart and Hornbachers to justify that...heck I've been known to go to Holiday as its 1/2 block closer. I also won't go there just for socks or underwear (Kmart nearby too). Same for car cleaning supplies, I'll go to fleet farm or Bergs for that.
I do like the look & feel of the new walmart store, doesn't feel as trashy as it used to and it feels more "Homey" with the lower shelving and new aesthetics.
Don't get me wrong, Walmart is a ruthless, money hungry, cut-throat organization who often carries inferior product lines....but their stocks have traditionally done well because of this.

Yes Walmart has it's pros and cons. If you want the pros, good prices and a decent selection, you have to put up with the cons, usually other customers like the mom with the 18 screaming kids as said before and the old bastards that like to have a 2 hour conversation right in the middle of the isle right in front of what your looking for. What's with all the amish like folks anyways, not that I'm complaining cause some of them chics are kinda hot, but they always seem to be in there when I go there. I did see two cute lesbians holding hands there so that made my day.

I HATE Walmart! I love Target!! I will only go to Walmart if I absolutely have to. Walmart is just so ghetto and dirty.
-
hey now i worked at cashwise for 2yrs...but yeah its really ghetto...fargo cashwise is A LOT better...or atleast it was when i worked in moorhead...but it wasnt that the people there didnt care it was all corporate...Coborns didnt give a damn about the moorhead store...shit would break and they would just put a bandaid over it...
-
Ive worked at wal-mart for well over two years now and I do agree with alot that is being said....the things that ive done have been nothing but thankless work...especially when I was a cartpusher...
But now im back in the TLE and its like a whole different world...none of the managment in the main store bothers us...I dont even feel like I work for wal-mart anymore, But yet my paycheck still comes from them....
I do shop there before anywhere else because they do just have what I need 99% of the time....But I check out somewhere else other than the front...its a disaster.....
