Never mind. If I knew you were going to Walmart, I never would have responded

1) I am confident that WalMart will have the product
2) I am confident it will be cheaper or the same price as other stores
3) It is very close to my house
4) I can get grapes, motor oil, underwear and sunscreen at the same time and get a good price on those items, also.

I cannot think of one reason to not go there and I have all of these reasons to go. Why would I not go?

Didn't say you couldn't, just noted that I'm not a fan. I have dealt with Bentonville folks for over 20 years on a daily basis. They have a very high opinion of themselves and expect the rest of the world to worship at their feet. They remind me of The Mouse of retail. Strictly personal opinion, but I just don't care for the way they do business.

And I've never noticed you being shy about voicing your opinion.


PS I shop at Wal-Mart occasionally but never enjoy the experience...
I think the biggest problems are parking and long slow check-out lines -

Oh but wait, I can't think of any shopping experience I enjoy....

You are probably like me. I don't shop, I buy. I know what I want, go get it, pay and leave.

I might have a similar opinion if I were in your shoes. However, as a consumer, I like how they do business.

BTW, sounds a lot like a store I frequented in P'cola on 9th Ave where you could also get a hair cut, have your shoes resoled, get a set of tires. It was an Albertson's and 1976.
