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

Ugh box stores suck, but I actually hate Kmart even more. I feel like I wait in line twice as long there...

@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!!!

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.
My grandfather worked for Wal-Mart for a long time. He is retired now and has some interesting stories!

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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??

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.

@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

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.

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!

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

I won't go there unless I have no other option. I recognize that it's cheaper, but I'd rather spend a little bit more at a business that pays their employees decent wages.
