| - Walmart.
It's a place I have a love/hate relationship with. The company itself is highly questionable, but I have no objection to the actual store itself. Unfortunately, that's an oxymoron since I clearly do support the company's sketchy practices if I give them my money.
Clothes-Godawful. I'll buy undershirts, underwear, socks, sandals (since sandals really aren't a big deal to me), basketball shorts (since those also aren't a big deal to me. They're shorts for exercising, comfort or relaxing, not for actual fashion.) and an occasional t-shirt. Everything else? Looks terrible and doesn't even fit right. I will never forget the day I saw coats at Walmart for more than $50. They looked okay, but I'm guessing they fit like burlap condoms?
Groceries-Maybe I am losing my mind, but has anyone else noticed that neighborhood supermarkets such as Smith's and Albertson's have gotten really expensive? It seems really hard to find juice that isn't store brand for less than $3.00 these days. The thought of paying $3.50 for cranberry juice scares me, and I don't want to pay $1.50 for Kroger's flavorless or just gross in some other way cranberry juice when I can come to Walmart and find Ocean Spray for $1.50. Fresh & Easy has amazing prices, but Walmart has a better selection so this is my main go to for groceries pretty much. The Neighborhood Markets feel more like actual grocery stores if that helps.
Everything else you can buy-I refuse to buy a Kanye West CD at Walmart. Trying to listen to Runaway with almost a minute of music edited out of it is not fun.
And then you have......Walmart people.
They are a very, interesting bunch to say the least. Walking through a Walmart store is like driving through traffic. Sometimes the aisles feel like being in a gird lock. I'm scared to go through Walmart during the holiday season because I've literally been almost run over by shopping carts several times while shopping here on a day in the Christmas season......okay, so now this is more about shopping cart traffic than actual Walmart people. That's a good thing though, because a lot of the things I have to say about the people you see at Walmart aren't exactly politically correct. Just go to peopleatwalmart.com to see some examples.
I'm not the biggest fan, but I always have to go there anyway. Go figure. And this concludes my first review of 2011.
