Well, guys, this is nothing more than snobbery. With gas prices approaching $5 a gallon, I’ve been shopping at Wal-mart more frequently. Even if gas prices weren’t so high, they have some good prices. Why pay more at Target, CVS, or your favorite grocery store?
Having said that, I can understand the concern. One time while in Walmart, a cashier pulled a handkerchief out of ther pocket to wipe her nose, and it was FILTHY! I changed checkout lanes, and quick. You shouldn’t find something like that going on in a high-end store.
The reality is that Walmart is going to attract the poor to the community, workers as well as shoppers, and all that comes with it.
I can see why this is a no-go, why should Walmart cater to Carlsbad and put in an upscale store when the company is doing fine with the type of stores it has.
