Hopefully this abomination dissappears soon.

I like the super Wal Marts......one stop shopping, good prices.

It takes time for the older stores to sink into decrepitude of poor service.

I hope that doesn't happen.  It really is the best shopping experience around.

I like a lot about Wal-Mart but "best shopping experience" isn't one of them. They have a wide variety of stuff at cheap prices. That's about it. If you want a good shopping experience, go to Target or a frou frou grocery like Whole Foods or Fresh Market. You won't leave with the indellible stench of failure.

I meant in that middle of nowhere town not the entire planet.  There is no Whole Foods in BFE.

And Walmarts out in the middle of nowhere aren't just filled with the poors.  A lot of middle and some upper class people shop there because they have all the basics in one place at a reasonable price.  It is a very different dynamic than some urban Walmart's I've been in.

As a middle-classer who shops there, it is pretty much one stop shopping.   Even their produce and meats are continually improving in quality.  The only thing I don't buy there is fresh fish......but everything else there is good stuff....and I save a bundle.

Hmm.. really?  When we used to buy chops and steaks there down at the farm (because that's about all there was around there), we really noticed a difference compare to when we'd grill at home and bought from a proper privately owned 'high end' butcher.  The WalMart meats were really just edible, pretty much as low quality as one could get.  Then again that was like 5-10 years ago!- I'm always so out-of-date about the USA nowadays.

Nothing there is high end, but it's good.  As I mentioned, good fish needs to be bought elsewhere, as does a good and proper steak, but the rest is fine.  And yes, opebo in just the last half-dozen years they have improved dramatically.
