GuestWell, 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.

ParticipantOh marion, so you’re trying to say that people at Whole Foods don’t have runny noses? That people at Bristol Farms are cleaner than clean? Come on. Walmart attracts rich and poor.
How in the heck do you think rich people stay rich? They don’t spend their money.
The faux wannabe rich folks are the ones that spend their mortgages on a high end car and Louis Vuitton purses. They are the fake rich people.

ParticipantMarion, I’m curious as to exactly what the fuck this is supposed to mean:
“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.”
What, exactly, “comes” with the poor? Hondas instead of BMWs? McDonalds instead of Flemings?
I think you’d fit in better in India, Marion. Well, assuming you weren’t a member of a lower caste, that is…

May 28, 2008 at 10:10 AM #212632GuestAlex, I’m saying what I saw that cashier do at Walmart, I never saw at any other store. I wanted to run from the store. Food 4 less and Winco are ratty stores too. I don’t shop at either of them for that reason. In general, I like shopping at clean, upscale stores. Who wants to shop at a dirty, rundown store? If you’re poor you have no choice, if you aren’t poor, then you have choices.
I can’t stay out of Walmart though, the deals are too good, especially on electronics around Christmas time.
I know rich people don’t like to waste money, and you’re right the fake rich will spend money they don’t have for appearance sake.
