I have always had a bad taste for Walmart - due to budget issues always find myself going back when absolutely necessary to pick up stuff.
I have a Walmart close to work and they have deercorn for like 8.39 a 40lb bag. Dick's has it for 6.98 but is about 15 miles away. So I go to Walmart early that morning and talk to an asst manager who agrees to price match. I tell him I will be back later on once Dicks opens up so he can call them (there wasnt an add so a call is needed to confirm price - that is the way Academy and other places have been operating). So I go back and that asst manager is gone for the day. After 5 minutes of one of the other managers calling for the head manager - this wormy a-hole finally answers the page and refuses to call Dicks. He said that they will only price match a printed advertisment.
I was hot - luckily that guy wasnt in front of me when this occurred or else I would have gladly told him where he could stick his freakin corn. Just plain lazy. I ended up going to Acdemy because they were have a sale on corn for 6.99 a 40lb bag. I didnt even bother talking to the asst mgr tat told me would price match - not worth it.
Again - one more reminder why I shouldnt buy a stick of gum from that place.

You're not gonna get a 5 star meal at a drive through either. It's just a matter of what you're used to and what you expect I suppose. I try to avoid it mostly due to the lines to check out. 38 registers and only 6 of them open with 200 ft long lines of people just drives me nuts.

If I can find it anywhere else for close to same price my money doesn't go to Mega-Low-Mart as refered to on Hank Hill. It is interesting though some of the attire you see in a Wallmart

38 registers and only 6 of them open with 200 ft long lines of people just drives me nuts. Yep one of my pet peeves. Never fails someone has something not marked and they have to send someone to check the price. Generally it's a 99 cent item.

In a case like this, I probably would have gone back and prepared for a large buy with the competitor with the lower price.
I enjoy Wal-Mart's prices, but sometimes its just not the same quality as what I really want.

I was a zombie like all americans,":WALMART:, must go to :WALMART:" then I deciced to go to Target, maybe 3 months ago. Haven't been to walmart since, ( unless its 1 in the morning, and i needed some fishing line, early am )
Between, Target, and Kroger, Academy it makes up what walmart has, I dont need to one stop shop, I just want, clean store, fast lines, and civilized people, and if i have to go to three stores, not to have to go to walmart, I'm all in...

KMart ain't what it used to be either. Bought a very nice Beretta O/U at one in the mid 80s. Try that now or even a shell for one.
