    you guys have some seriously fkd up Wal-marts in your area(s)... I've only been in one shitty one and it was in the hood. Do most of you guys live in the country/hood or what? I would imagine that Wal-marts, or the people you encounter there, are mostly a product of what kind of people live in that area and/or the area itself. I see yuppies all day long up at my Walmart.

    We have 2 super wal-marts in our little town of Hemet. Initially I hated the idea of my wife even going there, much less myself. I'll admit that now we do 90% of our grocery shopping and almost all of our "junk replenishing" there.

    The food, in particular the boxed, frozen and canned stuff, is so much cheaper than our local chains that we'd be foolish not to take advantage of it. I shit you not, I would estimate we save $40-$50 a trip.

    The clientele at our local one isn't as bad as many of the ones I've been in. Driving my new-to-me cabrio back from Kansas City I stopped at a Wal-Mart that sounded exactly like the one you're describing, Blunt. Luckily, I can say that ours isn't like that at all.

    The Wal-Mart we have tore down the K-mart that went out of business. And put a Super Wal-Mart in it's place.

    Every Wal-mart in the metroplex here is a super Wal-mart. Basically they just add the grocery side of things and a few other joints. There are also smaller 'neighborhood' Walmarts around as well.

    They have begun in SoCal.


    Also here, Virginia.





    Wal-Mart Supercenter
    Wal-Mart Supercenters are hypermarkets with size varying from 98,000 square feet (9,104.5 m²) to 261,000 square feet (24,247.7 m²), with an average of about 197,000 square feet (18,301.9 m²).[28] These stock everything a Wal-Mart Discount Store does, and also include a full-service supermarket, including meat and poultry, baked goods, delicatessen, frozen foods, dairy products, garden produce, and fresh seafood. Many Wal-Mart Supercenters also have a garden center, pet shop, pharmacy, Tire & Lube Express, optical center, one-hour photo processing lab, portrait studio, and numerous alcove shops, such as cellular phone stores, hair and nail salons, video rental stores, local bank branches, and fast food outlets. Some also sell gasoline; distributors include Murphy Oil Corporation (whose Wal-Mart stations are branded as "Murphy USA"), Sunoco, Inc. ("Optima"), or Tesoro Corporation ("Mirastar").[31]

    The first Supercenter opened in 1988 in Washington, Missouri. A similar concept, Hypermart USA, opened in Garland, Texas a year earlier. All of the Hypermart USA stores were later closed or converted into Supercenters.

    As of January 31, 2008, there were 2,447 Wal-Mart Supercenters in the United States.[33] The nation's largest Supercenter, covering 260,000 square feet and two floors, is located in Crossgates Commons in Albany, New York.[34]

    nope it's not all of them, there are 2 that are different....

    This is the one here in N Dallas... Check this out!

    "Some changes: the aisles are very wide and open and some even have cut-throughs so shoppers don't have to circle around the end.

    There is a selection of fresh sushi, and a beer and wine selection one would expect to find at a liquor store with 1,200 different varieties available. A computer can tell shoppers which of the hundreds of wines go with which foods. And there are 500 items that are either all natural or organic."

    "In electronics, there's an entire wall of the latest flat-screen TVs."

    "At a coffee shop at the entrance, customers can get a cappuccino or a latte, take it with them as they shop, or take a break in a big cozy chair and surf the Internet on the store's Wi-Fi system.

    The restroom is definitely not like anything customers have seen at a Wal-Mart before: There are flowers in the ladies' restroom, plus there's a potty designed especially for children.

    The men's room is nice, but pretty standard stuff: no flowers."

    Import biers at the price of a Sams or Costco FTMW!!!!

    i dont really give a fuck what color people are or where they hail from. but if you choose to work with the public then learn the fucking language and put a smile on your face and treat customers as if they are your friends. i want to reach across the cash register and choke a bitch out next time she acts like shes doing me a favor taking my money and then grunting at me instead of smiling and saying thank you.

    I know what you are saying. Every time I walk into one I think "HOW THE FUCK DID WE EVER GET TO THE MOON WITH 90% OF THE POPULATION BEING RETARDED???" - then I realize that how hard 10% of people have to work.

    But hey, don't look at is as a bad thing. It's like a circus freak show you don't have to pay to go into.
