| - I'm not a fan of Walmart by any means and avoid it at all costs. Better quality and prices can be found pretty much everywhere.
However, they sell 4 items I can't find anywhere else in this city, as well as some products that are identical to other stores (just larger sizes and still the best price), and given that they're all must-haves in my life, I suck it up periodically and go here. Not gonna lie - it's so huge, I thought I needed a Sherpa the first time I went there.
The best time to go is Sunday around 5p while everyone else is home making dinner. And I've yet to wait in a line - I've seen them, but there's always at least one cashier with no one in line. I've already covered 4 miles getting my must-haves, so two extra mins looking for a bored cashier is no biggie.
And to the cashier who was ridic patient and smiled the entire time the guy in front of me counted out $14 in change, including pennies, I'd nominate you for sainthood if I could... ETA - upgraded to 4 stars and here's why; one of my superpower is apparently finding a line with no people in it. The trick is looking for one. It's worth it because there's always at least ONE cashier open just waiting for something to do. I keep forgetting to check in, but I've been here at least 30x in the last 2 months. Not only do they carry my fave hummus in bigger, less costly containers, but also 3 of my fave pre-packaged Hostess and Entemann's goodies (I thought they'd ceased to exist). My self-loathing for supporting this store is off the charts, but my cravings and never waiting in line has overridden the loathing. Almost. One more item and it'll be at 70-30. :)
