Going to Wal-Mart while in Port

Sunny,

A friend of mine who lives not far from you has said the same thing
about Wal-Mart. She loves the store and does a lot of shopping there.
The Wal-Marts I have been in here in New Jersey, are so bad and
disgusting that I don't go there much. When I do have to go there, I
feel like screaming "get me out of here". I avoid Mal-Mart if it is at
all possible.

I didn't care for the ones I had been into in NJ... I've been in a couple
here (NV) and some are better than others. This is an "upscale community"
and the Super Wal-Mart is ALWAYS busy.

OTOH, I don't think I've ever been in a K-Mart that I liked, and they're
still in business (even if barely so!)!

All three of the big "mart" stores (Target being the third) are relatively
close to me, and there are times that I've gone to each, but K-Mart is the
nearest and the one that I'm least likely to go to.

Just a thought. When we lived on Long Island, depending location of
stores. we found great discrepancies re same stores but different
locations.
Could this be what is happening with Wal-Mart and other brand name
stores.? Location?
Charles, what you encountered has not been seen by me in our Wal-Marts.
One return desk, quite a few personnel there.waiting on customers. Every
employee I have encountered and inquired as to where can I find this or
that has given explicit instructions where it is located or walked us to
the area.

Same here in Olathe and Overland Park, Kansas. The customers here
wouldn't stand for a filthy store. Even Goodwill is clean and not smelling
of diapers.

I suppose it goes with what part of the country the store is located in.
People in some places are more tolerant than others. I see nothing wrong
with Wal Mart except for the pushy attitudes when they want to build a
new store someplace where it's not welcome. They definitely give other
stores a run for competition. I usually run in and run out since I don't
shop a hell of a lot except in computer stores.

I may just do a small, personal "survey" myself and take a drive to
Wal-Mart.

That makes sense. Check it out yourself. But from the posts it appears
that there is a variation depending on location as far as cleanliness
etc.
