I read a lot in these forums and for the most part I agree with what is said, but in this I have to dissent. As a Cpl in the Marine Corps with a family and now a student with a family shopping at Wal-Mart was the only way I could make ends meet. As far as the stores go, all the ones I have been in were clean. True the people there might not know a lot, but I learned long ago not to rely on store employees anyway. I know how unpopular I just made myself, but I don't really care what people think of me. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Besides, from a survival stand point it seems like I should go where I can get the most for my energy expenditure.
