Why do people feel the need to be so mean to their shorts? Being a pair of gray sweatshorts is embarrassing enough, no need to humiliate them in public like that.

Each article of clothing she has on is ridiculous on its own and combining them does not help. The best part is you know she was super pumped when she put these puzzle pieces together.

Pretty sure there is a Walmart in VT now.
Easiest way to express your non appreciation of Walmart is just don't go there.

[But most of the others there were, because Walmart mostly attracts that ignorant, trashy element of people.[/quote] I go to Walmart, sometimes to get film developed sometimes for paper products, sometimes for just other stuff I need, that makes me trash? I think not. If you dont like it simply stay out!

I don’t care for Wal-Mart too much but Wal-Mart isn’t a new concept it is just a revamped Caldor, Bradlees, BigK, ect. The BigK was the closest to a Wal-Mart since it sold food. I remember growing up it was not "kosher" to buy items especially clothing from these stores unless you wanted to be made fun of. It wasn’t cool to buy stuff from them and the countless jokes about being a Kmart kid was enough not to even be caught in the store.
However when on vacation yearly at Myrtle beach we do shop at Wal-Mart (10820 Kings Rd, Myrtle Beach, SC ) for convience not so much food but alcohol and stuff that we forgot to bring or need replenishing like suntan lotion. And every visit I always see hotties shopping there maybe because there are more affluent crowds that storms the area during vacations, who knows but it’s a totally different type of clientele than what we have up here.
FYI: A&D ointment 16oz is $2 cheaper at walmart than at babies-r-us. Just found out this wekeend, we have always bought this item form from B-r-us but I guess im going to start picking it up at walmart if I am ever there.

That means you may also fall into that category of people because Walmart once attracted you to it's store, didn't it?

Nope, no more than looking at a car wreck means you were one of the bodies.
Nasty comparison, but people get curious what all the hubub is about and have to check it out.
BTW, people DON'T go there and all you hear is "well you have never been there, so what can YOU say", but yet they go there and report what they see and the only comeback is "Well, you were there, what does that say about YOU??? Huh???".
Wal Mart should not be supported, whenever possible. It is not the ultimate evil, but it does not help, and it attracts the veru bottom of the social shelf. Not that ALL of the people who go there are bad, but the percentage of disrespectful, cluless or Gold Pants wearing individuals is MUCH higher than almost any other nation-wide store in the US.
Take it or leave it.

I once visited a Super Walmart while visiting my family in Georgia & I have to say that it was good store.
It was clean & had a large selection of available merchandise at bargain prices.
I guess it depends on what area the Walmart is located in because while I was on a business trip in Miami, FL, I visited one there and it was a mess.
One of the regular shoppers in that Walmart said it was known as "The Ghetto Walmart".
While I was buying a couple of things for my travel, there were parents fist fighting over the brand new "Hannah Montana" merchandise because they didn't have many available so the security had to call the police.
Also while I was checking out, the cashier could hardly speak English & she was also texting on her blackberry while myself & other shoppers were waiting in her line.
After I asked the cashier could she please start ringing up my merchandise, she gave me a nasty grin & told me that I'll just have to wait.
I am a frequent traveler and as I said before, the area that you shop in & its culture determines the type of service you'll receive.
This goes for any store because I've also had bad experiences in some of our high-end department stores in certain areas.
