Imp's Wal-Mart Journal

[impetus]

I've been a long-time Wal-Mart hater, but this week I've decided to give them a chance.

I found that they're one of the few retailers to carry this particular item. I've seen it at one local shop, but for $90. Wal-Mart's got it for $70.

So I've ordered it online, set for in-store pickup. I'll keep everyone updated. This may turn out to be a hilarious comedy of errors, or just a worthless post.

Forgot to mention: Immediately after purchasing my item, I got this e-mail:

So it is automatically Walmart that signed you up for spam?

I hate Wal-Mart; always have and always will.

Dunno if its just my local store, but its dirty, unorganized and the damn isles are too small.

My hatred for them increased once I actually worked for them several years back.

Wal-Mart? Country music? I can put 2 and 2 together, thanks.

I hate it, but I love wal mart. I am a fisherman, and that is the only store that really has what I need locally for cheap. Also, I got pillows last week for 2.94, the same exact pillows at bed bath and beyond that were 12. I cant hate on the low prices, as bad as the store actually is, it has great value.

Which then helps lower their own prices and run the other guys out of business. Good work there.

I love it. Its called progress. People seem to like it when it is attributed to Darwin or Spencer. Wal Mart is adapting to what people need.

No, Wal-Mart is a corportate conglomerate, they consider small "mom & pop" shops as competition... which is ridiculous. They intentionally set up near one to put them out of business, they have little to no health beneifts for employees... Wal-Mart is a legalized mexican sweatshop.
