18 Wal-Mart is the only place on Earth where you can get shorts, a hawaiian shirt, a battery operated nose clipper,a pair of shoes, pajamas, novels and meds all in the same place while getting new tires and an oil change on your car. If you time it right you can read one of the novels at a Subway inside the store while eating lousy sammiches and cursing that asspipe Jared for those commercials before your car is ready.

Haven't been in one lately, but you can buy hunting and fishing equipment.

Bicycles

Ballons

Hammers, hardware, nails, and other stuff like that.

Batteries

Automotive equipment

Baskets, trunks, decor of all kinds and cheap funny looking plastic flowers.

Everything is made in China or Lower Slobvonia.....

They smile a lot like at "Friendly's", but you can never find anyone to wait on you.....just check you out.

I hate Wal Marts

We have one 4 miles away, one 15-20 minutes away, one 25 minutes away, one 30 minutes away, and a new one coming that will be 30 minutes away. We are surrounded. ( and I probably missed one or two)

I believe the one about the cash registers vs. employees.

And when was the last time there were only 3 people in line? At ours, your lucky if you are the 15th in line. And I am sure 99% of them are mumbling under their breath how much they hate that store and never want to go back.

I hate buing groceries from Walmart. The prices aren't that great and I can never find anything. The layout is terrible. But I think they do it on purpose so you have to walk through every aisle.

One good thing is when they build the one in Oxford (the 30 minutes away one) it will ease the crowds in ours. There is no place to shop down there right now so they have to drive to the Walmart by us.

You can't throw a rock in Savannah without hitting a Wal-Mart.

Another interesting fact I just discovered:

One in three Wal-Mart shoppers requires the use of a motorized shopping cart.
