> That's frickin scary. I've been to Walmart...

Walmart, to me, embodies pretty much everything that is wrong with this country, culturally. I can barely stand to walk in the door before having to get the heck out as fast as I can.

Anyone who agrees should vote with their pocket-book - in exchange for giving up a few extra dollars, you can support alternative retailers (even relatively large ones, ie. Target) that don't completely dump the concept of selling quality products and services for a reasonable profit in order to undercut the competition.

I rarely go there to buy anything. Back in the day, I use to, but I can't stand the place now. The last time I went there I did as a last resort...which was when I had to buy my new PS2 and they were the only people in town who carried them (seriously! I went everywhere!)

I like Target (we call it "Tar-jea to give it a more elegant pronouncation ;-P). Toy's 'R Us is cool too.

Do you know how many Walmart's are in the Tri-Cities now? 2, with a third one planned in Pasco off of Rd. 68. Isn't that scary! Tell me, why does TC need THREE Walmarts? Pretty soon, there'll be no place else to shop! I hope Fredmyer doesn't go under too! I'll have to go to Walla Walla or Spokane to do my shopping!!!! :-(

Did you see the Southpark when they "defeated Walmart"? Criminy, that was halarious!!!!
