I HATE Wal-Mart!

Yep, I do too. I honestly can't tell you the last time I was in a Wal-Mart. It's been at least two years.

I hate it too, for these reasons:

*It's too overwhelming. The moment I walk through the door, I forget what I came for, even if I have a list.

*It is always too crowded when I have time to go, which is usually on weekends, like the rest of the world.

*Because I have to go on weekends like the rest of the world, the store is usually out of whatever I'm looking for.

*I feel guilty when I shop there because I know Wal Mart has such a big role in putting little mom-and-pop shops out of business.

I love Target. It's really the best thing that could ever happen to this WalMart-crazed society.

I agree with the smell. The crowds bother me too. The prices are not the best either.

I don't like it either! "Big Box Mart" on jibjab.com is a great expression of why not.

Wal-Mart is overwhelming and maybe dirty sometimes, too, but you can't fault it for the concept. Even if the majority of people hate Wal-Mart, they don't show it by shopping elsewhere - or there would be no Wal-Marts.

And I think the "big-mean business" stereotype has hurt Wal-Mart's public image, even though I haven't seen evidence that it's as big and mean as the left likes to say.
