What in the hell is the "WM culture" you so disdainfully post about?

I've already said I've got two WMs within 5-10 miles of me and can no more relate to the incident in the OP than I can to saying I'm moving my family to Somalia.

Your reality is much different than mine and I certainly enjoy mine. Even after I've purchased items at my local WMs.

Great prices on motor oil and automotive filters.
You don't know what Walmart Culture means? Have you ever been in a Walmart? If you don't know what I am talking about, maybe your children will explain it to you.

Nope, don't know the WM culture of which you refer to. You must adhere to some stereotype but I'll take a guess based upon my life:

White, suburban middle to upper middle class, law abiding, educated, financially responsible, good schools, educated children.......etc.

Did I nail it or does your mileage vary?

Oh, one other thing since you brought up my child; my Eagle Scout, high GPA, high SAT scoring, college student son shops at the same WMs that I do, if that helps.

In my neck of the woods, Publix is the winner , Walmart is dead .. must be those creepy pics of nasty people who are in Walmart shopping..

Plus publix employees bags everything, rolls your cart to your car and unloads your groceries into your car.

A swing and a miss, but since your child shops at Walmart too, maybe they know what I am talking about because clearly you are pretending you don't.

It probably depends on the neighborhood it serves.. different neighborhoods have different kind of people.

That could be true, though Walmart tends to be a magnet for that Walmart Culture that has been growing in this country, and it ain't pretty.

Yup. It's the "culture."

Two days ago, at that same Walmart:

People being raised by wolves come in all shades.

Let's blame the schools and continue to ignore what is going on (or not) in the homes.

I guess I'm a racist, but I already suspected what race would be involved before even watching the video.

Maybe this is why racial stereotypes continue. We expect certain people to act a certain way, and when they do, it just confirms what we already suspected.
