I recognize that it's cheaper, but I'd rather spend a little bit more at a business that pays their employees decent wages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211251 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:47:32 +0000 rachiecakes 1211251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have one nearby, but yes. I hate going there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211248 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:46:44 +0000 Running Elley 1211248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate it and avoid it whenever possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211246 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:45:47 +0000 Springtime 1211246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in a small town so Walmart is literally the only thing we have in a 30 mile radius. We do most of our shopping there, and yes I hate going there. Our store is awful with rude employees, long lines, shelves never stocked, etc. But I can say I have been to other Walmarts and they were so much nicer. I really wish we had a Target though ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211241 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:44:17 +0000 Dandelion 1211241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Walmart is way cheaper than other grocery stores in the area, but I hate going there. So, I will drop DS off at school at 7 am and go straight there to do my shopping. If I have to go grocery shopping any later than that, I'll go somewhere else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211230 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:40:36 +0000 pelikila 1211230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I avoid Walmart as much as possible. However, I had to get a new toaster and promised DH I would pick one up on the way home from work a month ago and ended up having to work late so my only option was a Walmart. While browsing toasters a teenage boy randomly came up to me to tell me I was "too hot to be a teacher". When I looked at him puzzled and said I wasn't a teacher, he paused and said "then a secretary" and ran away. I didn't know if I should be offended on behalf of teachers and secretaries or feel the slight ego-boost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211163 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:15:14 +0000 sandy 1211163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: yes, the parking lot alone is an awful experience! We don't go often...maybe 2-3 times a year but it's awful everytime even in the middle of the day during the week </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211159 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:14:21 +0000 avivoca 1211159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dislike Walmart, but some are better than others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211158 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:14:01 +0000 PurplePeony 1211158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even know where the closest WalMart is to where I live, which is totally fine with me. When I visit my parents, there are very few other places to shop because WalMart put them all out of business, so I usually end up going there at some point and it always makes me cranky. I'm not a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211154 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:13:09 +0000 fussygal 1211154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't HATE it, but I try not to go there unless necessary. I live in a small town so it's hard to avoid it completely. I also agree with @Mrs. Lemon-Lime, the staff at ours is friendly for the most part it's just that there aren't enough of them! Why have 30 registers if you only use 5?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211151 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:11:15 +0000 mediagirl 1211151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no problem with Walmart in general. I go at the hours when I know it won't be super busy and also know the times to go when they're putting out their discounted meat. :)</p> <p>We do all of our grocery shopping there and so we are usually there at least once a week. I prefer to go to Aldi's for food when we can but Walmart's selection can't be beat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211146 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:09:18 +0000 swurlygurl 1211146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness... A trip to Wal Mart is a sure fire way to put me in a horrible mood. Just the parking lot even!! Ughhh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211142 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:07:33 +0000 T-Mom 1211142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went yesterday to buy something for a craft and they were the only place that had what I was looking for, and I tried cvs, Walgreens, and target. So yesterday, I loved it! Sure they couldn't help me find it even though I showed them how the website said they had it in store, but I ended up finding it on my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211138 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:05:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1211138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My walmart is filled with friendly staff. It's just under staffed all the time. Even during the holidays I never see more than 10 of the 30 cash registers open. I like to go at 7 am. The overnight stock crew are out of the aisles and customer service is open for returns. Usually all the other 7 amers just have a few things to purchase so even I'm 3rd or 4th in line I am not there too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211134 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:03:42 +0000 autumnlove 1211134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is out of my way to shop at Walmart but I like my eye Dr there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211133 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:03:33 +0000 MrsBrewer 1211133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes..... I hate Walmart....I normally avoid it as much as possible I go to Target instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211132 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:03:28 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1211132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't hate it. I don't go there often though because other places are closer. I can't think of any store that I hate and avoid. </p> <p>My grandfather worked for Wal-Mart for a long time. He is retired now and has some interesting stories! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211126 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:02:35 +0000 mrs. wagon 1211126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: Walmart is not very prevalent up here so every time I've gone to one it's been a miserable experience. Stuff everywhere, nothing is ever where it's supposed to be, the store is a huge mess and the employees have no idea what they're doing. But I've been to Walmarts in other states and they're AMAZING!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211124 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:02:20 +0000 Beyond2 1211124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh box stores suck, but I actually hate Kmart even more. I feel like I wait in line twice as long there... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-hate-walmart#post-1211119 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:01:04 +0000 pinkcupcake 1211119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try my best not to go to Walmart unless I absolutely have to. It is always such a miserable experience - pissed off employees, long lines, just ugh. I had to go today and now I'm just in a bad mood. Grr </p>
