best tasting tuna?
"W. Wells" wrote
WalMart always has it. I pretty much stay away from Walmart as it is evil and kills small towns. I live in a small town and since it came many older family owned stores have closed. I try to always go to the smaller stores when possible and that usually only amount to a walmart visit 1-2 times a year and not for groceries. I've heard stories at least here locally about how poor their fresh meat is, and a friend found cigarette ashes in her ground beef. |

Gads, I've never seen so many fat people all in one place as at a Wal*mart parking lot on a Saturday morning. There seems to be some correlation about people who make poor choices. Henry Rollins tells some funny stories about shopping at Wal-Mart while on tour. Good stuff. I've shopped there in the past, but I ended up deciding that I couldn't support them. I can afford to do my shopping elsewhere, so I do. DH and I made the same decision last summer and haven't set foot in one since. I know there are people who feel like they can't afford to shop elsewhere, but I knew I could. I don't suppose they'll ever be brought down, but it's nice to know there are other people out there who've made the decision not to support it. There's a decent sized contingent in town here that won't set foot in Wal Mart. They're trying to build a supercenter that some people are opposed to. Because it's such a small town/rural area we just stock up at Target and other places when we're in larger cities. Plus the grocery stores are really accomodating for bringing in new products. -- the volleyballchick |

There are many fat people at Walmart because, drumroll, there are many
fat people in general. Despite income well into six figures, I buy most of my clothes and minor household goods at walmart because they are cheap. The quality of many of their products has declined over the last few years, and I try to avoid those. Most of their food is so bad that I do not want to eat it. I refuse to make suboptimal choices because of political reasons, though. My reasons for buying and not buying anything include quality, selection and price, but not politics. i |

Based on the one time I went to Walmart years ago, I wouldn't give them high marks on quality or selection. Didn't like it -- haven't been back.

Not shopping at Wal Mart doesn't mean suboptimal choices at all. If anything we don't deal with the cheaply made, almost completely disposable garbage on their shelves. -- the volleyballchick |

You are being short-sighted. The high price of cheap goods means your taxes go up because they offer so low a wage that many of their employees are on welfare. The profits flow to out-of-town investors rather than staying in the community. The small industries being put out of business by their rapacious wholesale terms are legion in this country. You're an inventor: do you have any idea how hard it is to get a new product stocked on a wal*mart shelf? But the local hardware store (if there was such a thing anymore) would happily carry it. Wal*mart impoverishes this country from the foundation up. Dally |
