Walmart is a local business is it not. You shop there, you pay local taxes, they pay local taxes, they employ local people, etc

Or do you mean to say, small business?

No. Shop where you want to shop. Don't ask other people how you should live your life.

He meant mom and pop stores. But unfortunately, there aren't alot of them left due to businesses like wal-mart. The downtown market place I go past sometimes is a ghost town.

Yes. It's 2019. Buy the groceries online and have them delivered to your house.

This.

But I try to avoid Walmart as much as possible since I hate its atmosphere. I go to Kroger for my groceries.

Their produce has a bad reputation. And yeah, the Neighborhood Walmarts are the specialty grocery stores.

Mom and pop stores are like prudish girls. Sure they seem nice and wholesome, but when you wanna go inside of em at 1am they're not open for business. Walmart is that trashy girl. You don't gloat about her, but she's there when you need her

Wal Marts are most busy and hectic stores in areas theyre in so they are usually full of way too many people getting in your way while you get in theirs. The staff is also usually pretty unhelpful, and I dont blame them from how overworked they usually are.

Walmart has got the absolute worst generic brands. I got an HEB down here and back when their Hill country fair knockoffs sucked but they've gotten better with time. Screw Walmart.

I guess. I tend to shop in the morning on weekends, as the large influx of people happens at every grocery store. I've never felt it to be a Walmart exclusive thing.

Doesnt make you an asshole... I just dont get the appeal beyond prices and convenience.

For me, its the heavy traffic and hit and miss customer service. Dont get me wrong these arent things you wont encounter at any local store but it seems like these problems are only exacerbated the bigger the store chain gets.

All of the smaller grocery stores that were around when I was growing up sucked. There's a reason why most of them haven't made it

it's cheaper. I'd shop there if my walmart was closer. but I have to take a bus to reach it. and I live across the street from a different store so I go there. but I really wish I lived across from the walmart.

There really is no affordable alternative to supermarket chains. If you buy your meat from a butcher and support local business, youre paying twice the price. Same goes for literally everything.

Im sorry, but I dont want my weekly grocery bill to be $300. Having to go to three different stores to buy three different things is a major inconvenience.

Walmart stores now offer curb side pickup. You make a list online, reserve a timeslot, and then arrive at your reserved time. They will bring your groceries out to u and load them in your trunk. U just sit there and enjoy your car's air conditioning.
