    I love Walmart. Everything in one place, they are ALWAYS open, and have good prices.:love:

    If you don't like it, shop somewhere else, instead of being a COMPLAINER! :grumble:

    Not complaining...

    STATING FACTS....

    Big difference. :laugh:

    I *HATE* walmart!

    I try to avoid it as much as possible, last time I was there, they had 5 lanes open, went to the 'express lane' (which says '20 items or less'-WTF??!?!?! 20?) I only had ONE item, and then someone from a different open lane comes over and asks the people BEHIND me to get checked out-aaarrrggghhhh!

    It took me 35 minutes to buy ONE thing! .:explode:

    I refer to our Walmart as home of the mentally challeged and disabled, and by that I do not mean the Greeters (who sometimes are, infact they are some of Walmarts best employees) Everyone else there is awefully slow, sometimes rude, and the whole checkout system sucks!

    My favorite thing to do is bring my own bags, then put them on the converer last or on top of everything. Then if they don't notice or take them and put them behind the register. I wait till they bag over half my stuff to say something and make them rebag all my stuff. They hate that! But hey, if you where watching and doing your job in the first place and wouldn't have treated me like cattle, I would have no need to point it out.:drinker:
    that's so rude. I'm a cashier and I hate people that do stuff like that. If you want your items bagged in a way that's different than everyone else's then it's your job to let me know. I'm so glad that I found a new job and no longer have to deal with people like that...and I'm super friendly when I work.

    Also, you might want to think about how your first statement comes off...it's pretty offensive to anyone who is mentally challenged or disabled...

    Generally when I go in, I am one of maybe 3-5 customers in the store. I have stopped shopping during the day if I can help it.

    I very briefly lived in D'iberville, Mississippi and it really was the only thing to do at night, go walk around the neighborhood Wal-Mart.

    Because all the Winn-Dixies and Piggly-Wigglys close at 10.... :indifferent:

    huh my daughter works at that walmart

    Some of our Walmarts here in Wichita are ok, some I would rather walk on glass than go to. And I have to admit I usually go to Walmart at least 2X a week, because it is close to home and cheaper than Dillons/Kroger. That being said I do prefer going to the Walmart Marketplace if I have a choice! I know I am a walmart ho!

    I must just have a good walmart, the staff is always friendly and I never wait more then a couple minutes in line. I don't mind it there at all

    There is NO SUCH THING as a GOOD WALMART!!!! ;) You just have to realize what and who they are (the company that is).

    Although it might not be as many as some folks would prefer, I'm sure that a company of that size would have a handle on the proper cashier-to-customer ratio during different times of the day, while controlling costs/prices.

    I do hate the way they treat their employees, but those employees are helpful anyway. I will say this for Walmart, at least they stock lots of clothes for larger sizes. I can get jeans and tops that fit comfortably, as well as nightclothes and underwear. And the prices are great. I also buy things for the house, but I don't buy much food there, because at my local store, most of it is processed stuff, not much fresh. So I shop for food elsewhere. And I have seen 'the people of Wal-mart' online, but I never see weirdos like that around here.

    I used to grocery shop at the walmart neighborhood markets (a grocery only wal mart) and those were never too bad. They just opened up a smaller walmart close to me so I shop there now and it's not that bad either. However, the supercenters are terrible! I never go to them. I prefer Target anyways, but walmart has the cheapest groceries so that's why I shop there.

    Groceries only!?!

    Maaannn im learnin something new every day. Lol.

    The majority of California has turned into SUPER walmarts.

    I dont see very many regular (retail) walmarts anymore....
    I never saw them either until I moved and now I know of a few! the new one that opened up by me is a new type of walmart (I over heard some of the workers talking about it). It's small but it has a grocery section as well as all the normal stuff and it's never as crowded. The supercenters are awful though! I'd rather pay more than shop at them!

    I like it when they have the stuff I need for cheap, but ur right they do need to open up more lanes, I usually go early in the morning and everyone there seems in pretty good spirits, probably had their coffee and doughnuts (sugar and caffeine) always makes people feel pretty good. Try going in the morning--less people and they havent had time to have a bad day;[

    Unfortunetly I work mon-fri 8-5. The only time I have to go is after work wen everybody else has to go or on the weekends when again everybody else has to go....

    I guess that does kinda factor in the slowness....

    I have a problem every single time I go into a Walmart. And the company I work for, I have to go into a Walmart almost every day. Ugh. I left a Walmart 2 weeks ago, and literally felt like I was going to puke. I was dry heaving in my car.

    I used to work for Walmart and at least around here they are going downhill fast! Terrible customer service for sub-par products (food at least). I am almost completely done buying food from them at least!!

    I use to work for a few walmarts a few years ago to.

    Idk about going downhill but I have heard that walmart is tryin to find a way to fire all FULL time employees and hire a bunch of PART time employees so that they no longer have to pay for medical benefits...


    there are a few places that do that. I know a few people who work at walmart and were hired part time. Which is 32 hours a week. They get scheduled above 32 but still can't get benefits because their employee file says part time.

    Nobody's forced to work at Walmart. It's great for folks that are working their way toward something better.
