I like Walmart because it reminds me of what not to buy!

I look around in other peoples shopping carts and most items they buy, I won't buy...I look at how they look and when they are obese, I stay away from the items they buy...which is half the store and mostly the biggest packages...

...That keeps me in shape!

How would a person know how people dress or smell or are obese unless they themselves patronize WALMART or any other large store.

If I go by a store without going inside...how am I to know what the people inside are like.

You can't read a book without looking inside.

Why? To avoid the human debris that is WalMart. Target is relatively nice. If the price difference between Target and WalMart is really an issues for you, I suggest you get away from the keyboard, improve you skills, employment and life cause if the difference matters, well I see a big "L" hovering over.....

I haven't been in a WalMart in years. I will not give them a penny. They're one of the biggest destroyers of all small businesses, pay slave wages and garbages bennies. IMO, they are slave masters. I hate WalMart

Somewhere there is a Nordstrom shopper saying the exact same things about Target and you.

Many will find that Walmart offers them the best employment opportunity available to them. More choices for consumers, more employment for the community, a win-win situation.

I'm a little surprised at the negative comments about Walmart shoppers. It's hard to believe that the 110 million people in America who visit Walmart every week fit into such objectionable categories.
Yes, bulldoze every parcel of land, and cover it with concrete just because you can...hooray!!!

There is a WalMart less than 10 miles down the road from the parcel they're trying to build on. I don't consider it a 'win win' situation because there is a huge coalition of people who have been stalling this project for years because the town doesn't want it. Unfortunately, a little town of 20,000 people doesn't have much clout with a gigantic corporation.

Are you kidding? They absolutely do. All they have to do is not shop there and the store will close. Problem solved. Only that's not what will happen, will it? And why is that?

Well, sometimes people ask realtives to GO to WAL MART, and pick up some things. It isn't a crime to do that as a favor, but sometimes, Goddess wants us to see what hell looks like from the inside. She really does !

You summed up the herd mentality of liberals very well.

It's the mob mentality of any political or religious persuasion, not just "liberals". Fear and ignorance makes humans behave in supremely stupid ways. In fact, your post suggests to me that you think in exactly the same way as the poster you are criticizing.
