Wal Mart

Wal-Mart: We also walk dogs...

  Me no unnerstand that one.

Our local Wal-Mart just closed as they built a Super Center to replace it about 5 miles away.  However, they do not have as broad product selection as a Super Center as the did before.  The beer & wine selection kinda bites though.  I hit a local wine seller for wine now and one of the local smaller grocery stores (Ingle's) for beer.

Those of you grumping about banking fees, find a way to join a local government credit union. I pay $1/month in fees and that is all.

You pay fees at a credit union?

You're doing it wrong. 

[the_Journeyman]

That's their service fee.  Usually the interest on my checking account covers it ~

My wife works in marketing at Target, so the "W" word is taboo in our home.
The times I have had to go into one, I feel like I am at the State Fair. Lots of interesting people shop there.

I tried to walk into Target...

Been members of 2 CU's, no fees....

Don't get me wrong, I'm not whining and I'm not picketing the place, but I'm not about to fuel a business that I see as predatory to small, locally owned business.

That is what as known as a Free Market Economy.

Walmart provides products at a low rate that some people could not afford otherwise. Obviously they are providing a service to their costumers that are desired by the end customer.

Now if they could offer something at a reasonable price that worked...

they'd be on to something

they sell shit

sure you can purchase them cheap but they break

then you are back at wal-mart purchasing another cheap item to replace your broken one

and hell, since you are there, why not get this widget?

it's a great deal, so cheap compared to the one I saw at ________

Which is why I typically only buy commodities there.

Their Old Spice Body Wash is the same as I would find at the Shaw's down the street. It just costs me less.

A GE light bulb is a GE light bulb.

I think the single most expensive product I've ever bought at a Wal Mart was a $150 Ruger 10/22.

Again, a commodity.

That rifle never "broke." I wore out an extractor and a firing pin, but that's because I put like 15,000 rounds through the thing the first summer I owned it.

Walmart has been around for quite some time. If their returning customers felt that the quality of the product was not up to par then they would not buy it. Their sales numbers don't lie.

Just because the returning customers don't feel the quality of the product is shit, does not mean it's not actually shit.
