Why do Americans shop at Wal Mart?
>>69744274
The store itself and the products they sell are actually not bad. The biggest problem with Walmart is the people who shop there.
>>69744274
It's like the poundland of America
>>69744274
>it's cheap
>good products
/thread
>Americans
Theyre all over Canada too. At least Target failed hard
Cheap shit and you can get everything you want there.
>>69744274
>Why do Americans shop at a store that has 95% of things they would ever need in one location for very competitive prices?
Is this a question? I can get a gun, whiskey, Bible, and a cheeseburger at the same place inside an hour.
>>69744745
>whiskey
wait what? American walmarts sell booze? Ours only sell non alcoholic beer
>>69744470
ALOT of the products are crap. Manufactures were forced to send manufacturing to the lowest bidder in order to get products onto Walmart shelves. TV's are an excellent example, the cheap ones may be stamped with a good brand name. But look closer, and you realize they were built by some shitty manufacture. Guns too, the Mossberg 500 is a decent shotgun. However the ones at wallyworld have so many crap parts on them. Plastic/ alloy trigger packs, plastic mag followers, etc.
>>69744274
Because I refuse to shop at a French store.
>>69744274
why don't you grow your own meat and build your own house
Because it's convenient faggot
>>69744827
Mine only sell beer and whine
Some super lightweight whisky and moonshine
>>69744274
It muscled out nearly all the other local businesses so most people don't have a choice.
I don't because there aren't any close by.
Publix and Target are much closer.
>>69744274
Walmart used to be shit. Cheap merchandise at awful prices.
They flipped a switch at some point in the last decade or so. Decent stuff for decent prices.
>>69744274
Because when traveling through small towns, there are few other stores at which to shop. I prefer Target, Walgreens, or just about any other store, but sometimes choices are thin.
>>69744274
>business owners mad they get btfo every time a walmart moves in
kek
>>69744840
Aren't all Mossberg 500 Shotguns made the same way? Wal-Mart doesn't make stuff, they only stock what they buy.
>>69744944
Walmart was best in the early 90s before the supercenter age. I didn't notice nearly as many unkempt hicks and lardasses there back then either.
>>69744274
It has everything.
>>69744274
I don't. I only go into one once or twice a year when I need something strange after normal store hours. Where else am I going to get a dowel rod at 3AM?
>>69744827
Depends on the state. Washington state does.
>>69744274
Because it killed every other store in the small town.
Open 24 hours a day, can get whatever I want whenever I want too
>>69745222
Ohio does
>>69744827
Mine does. Consider getting stars in your flag.
Walmart works because you can buy a can of Campbell's soup at walmaty for anywhere to a dollar to a few cents less than other stores.
In my town, a box of macaroni and cheese $1.50 at the local store. Walmart sells it for $0.90
that shit is great, they got everything. lol
It's cheap and they have everything.

B, but I use Publix and support my regional company.
>>69745199
Yeah, there's that
Supercenters brought in the white trash.
Living in upstate New York, I see most of our obese people in wal mart. Outside of wal marts they're sorta rare.
>>69744274
Place where you can buy a gun, ammo, a cheeseburger, beer, aerial flares, condoms and kerosene.
What is not to like?
>>69744274
I'm beginning to weigh the options every time I need to pick up something small and quick.
I heard they're wanting / starting to pay their workers more. If they become more involved in my community instead of being complete jews I'll give them another shot.
I don't. If I go anywhere it's WinCo, since they're customer service isn't absolute shite, Employee owned company, and their prices are better for the most part. Also you can get like 30 lbs of lentils for like 5 bucks.
>>69744840
>He thinks the Mossberg you buy at Cabelas is better than the ones at Walmart
Look at him, look at him and laugh.
Ain't no other way to eat. It's walmart or other superstore.
>>69744274
Me and my family don't. Local walmart employed a former marine in loss prevention. A crim he had in the back room pulled a weapon on him. They struggled for a period of time at which point the marine shot him. They fired him. My dad has not been back since.
>>69745169
Sometimes times Walmart gets a company to make their merchandise made cheaper just for Walmart
Sometimes like a vacume or toy
We don't usually know but it not completely absurd to believe they could be made cheaper
>>69744840
> However the ones at wallyworld have so many crap parts on them. Plastic/ alloy trigger packs, plastic mag followers, etc.
That's a Maverick 88.
>>69744274
I think I've visited a walmart about 5 times the past year. It's usually one thing I need that is cheap there. Shoe polish kit, usb-to-wall charger adapter. Usually I buy the shit on ebay, but sometimes I need it know or it's cheaper there. Don't like the place.
>>69745475
/fit/ pls go
>>69744274
idk
is like our culture or something
they are just fucking everywhere
seriously everytime I take a road trip I see a wal-mart in any state/city
I just be like "hey look theres a wal-mart" and shop there since I recognize it despite being out of town
>>69745458
that should be on their signs. Walmart is just hilarious to think about.
Cheap as fuck.
Picked up 3 gallons of milk for under $6 a few weeks ago at Sam's Club. The membership pays for itself in gas and milk alone.
>>69744274
is it not time to stop hating wal-mart?
ammo, tools and supermarket shit all in one store
>>69744745
>I can get a gun, whiskey, Bible, and a cheeseburger at the same place inside an hour
I fucking love Florida
>>69744745
I seriously bought a machete, a pair of boots, a DVD of the super Mario show, a set of clothes for my toddler, some candles and $300 worth of groceries on one visit.
You can possibly save money at other stores, but it's a little leg work looking for coupons and specials.
>>69745350
Boring. We already know they want to start a war. I'd rather discuss fatasses at Walmart.
I can't go there any more. Too many fucking towelheads. And never enough people check out. You have to use self checkout which is complete bullshit and takes jobs away.
I go to Target. Colored people are deathly afraid of paying ten cents more for food.
>>69745475
My nigga. Better variety and better prices.
>>69745760
Jesus Christ I just realized 2000 years from now that walmart and McDonalds will be the remains of the Glorious American Empire, along with .mp4 and .mkv files of people bitching about the patriarchy and far right extremist that write on walls in chalk "MAGA" and "Operation black sands did nothing wrong"
It'll be like looking at a roman bathhouse and marveling at the innate need to bring that bubble of comfort everywhere.
Why do I shop at Wal-Mart? Because all the so called mom, and pop stores where I live are shit. Wal-Mart has cleaner stores, better prices, more helpful staff, and better selection.
>>69745475
I fill up my bag with quinoa and put the millet number down. 55 cents per pound baby. I'm eating well. I also get loads of organic oats and put down the regular oat's number on the tag.
>>69745625
Bingo.
Manufactures are forced to cut corners.
>>69745628
Yes and no. In Walmart, the Mav 88's are being rebadged as 500's.
>>69745885
If hard enough I would
>>69745510
Cabelas is nothing special either.
However it was walmart that started forcing manufactures to produce things for cheaper and cheaper. Mossberg rifles are now complete garbage. And a lot of other manufactures are headed down the same road.
>>69746169

>I walk away, drive to Walmart, get my screws, groceries for dinner and a pack of socks
The mom & pop meme is such horseshit.
I don't. I shop online, at specialty stores, and at real grocery stores. Fuck Wal-Mart.
>Why do Americans shop at Wal Mart?
They sell the same stuff as their competitors for half the price, and they also fuck with you less than their competitors. You would take a cheaper and less-irritating path towards the same products too.
>>69746565
Mossberg has always been garbage.
>>69746658
>Use a warehouse-shoppe that is basically walmart but cheaper and more convenient
>I'm so much better than all of these other people
>>69744827
Mine has an entire aisle dedicated to alcohol
>>69746634
that mom and pop store has no real competition
they're small enough to not give a shit about wal mart, as long as they get enough business to pay themselves / their few workers.
If another mom and pop store popped up near them, they'd probably go out of business, but that chances of that happening are unlikely because of muh socialism welfare state.
>>69746920
That was my neighborhood grocery store, before it went out of business because all the trailer ghettoes in this town are too broke to sustain an Albertsons.
Back before the manufacturing all closed in this town, I used to go there to cash my paychecks and buy handles of stoli.
>>69746920
Mine sells Fireball whisky in those bag ina box things, like cheap wine. $30 for almost a gallon of booze.
>>69744595
Good products is a stretch.
There are deals to be found, but most of it is made in China garbage

for me its the only store around
kmart closed up
target sucks
nothing else left
>>69746217
this is what niggers do
walmart is shit. real niggas shop at costco
>>69747986
There are Kmarts still around.
I don't know for how long though. Target is Kmart's spiritual successor. All their stores are clean and uniform. It may be a little boring, but at least you know where everything will be.
>>69747420
>their competitors are different
Other big box stores sell the exact same shit. Single-location stores usually sell the same shit, and if they don't then it's usually a flimsy knockoff made in a poorer part of China.
Publix is better in every way. But working there is hell.
>>69748431
I have never been to Costco, but there is one on the black side of my town. Don't you need a membership to shop there?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8zNsUTWsOc
>>69748431
For groceries and food we go to Winco which is an actual deal as opposed to ripoff costco. I go to costco for a few things, mostly vendables for my tiny vending biz, but I absolutely cannot stand the filthy, suffocating horde of people there. Especially the ones who walk SO FUCKING SLOW, fucks sake people its a warehouse store not a damned art museum, move your fat yuppie ass out of my way
>>69748783
>successful corporation

I haven't shopped at walmart since I was 20 and almost homeless, its degenerate as fuck.
>>69744274

>can't cause autism tx fucking sucks
>>69748789
I think you used to but they got rid of that. This was how tracking worked in the old days before everything was on computers. Now they can track you without you signing a contract so it's an obsolete system.
>>69744274
For food, heck no.
For cheap crap, occasionally.
That place attracts some of the worst people. Last time I was there caught someone stealing something. A few times before that visit, a guy was yelling at an employee because they ran out of shopping carts.
because its the only place i can go in the middle of the night and watch goldfish in the pet department
Why do Canadians worry about how an American spends their money?
>>69744274
Price, variety, convenience.
>>69749063
I don't get why everyone seems to claim that that Month-Day-Year is backwards
It's natural to see it as "The date was August 10th 2004"
>>69749661
Because the argument is that it makes more sense to sequence the numbers in terms of the size of what they measure. A day is shorter than a month, and a month is shorter than a year. So you go day-month-year.
Americans write the date the exact same way that it's spoken, which is a charming bit of retardation.
>>69749661
ISO standard is year-month-day, Eurabian standard is the other way around. US standard is the obligatory fuck-you to both.
>>69745169
A lot of walproducts are made for them with cheaper componants so they can lower the price.
Tvs are a good example. You can buy the same model at best buy for a little more but when you look at the wiring/boards used you see the difference.
To answer op, the farmers market is only open like 4 mos a year here and there is literally no where else to buy produce within 100mi in every direction.
>>69749407
If they club all the other countries' seals, then maybe the coveted burgers will fall into Canadian coffers.
>>69745222
Missouri too, can even get booze at gas stations, lol silly canucks.
They're everywhere. For a lot of people it's all they have. I have a few Targets and a Costco within 15 minutes of where I live so thankfully I don't need to go to fucking Walmart.
There is nothing wrong with Walmart
They can pay their employees what they want
They can get their products from sweatshops, in fact sweatshops are better than working in the field for less, being a prostitute, or being a soldier all for less money.
They don't have to have a union.
Yes the shoppers are not very pleasing, but poor people often aren't.
They have most things, they price match to an extant, and Wranglers are the best brand of jeans I've ever worn.
Get your good shit online.
Get your staple food from ALDI
Get your other food from Kroger
Get everything else from Walmart.
>>69744274
I don't. But that's because I'm white and not poor.
>>69750079
Manufacturers make their own sub-standards like that. It's true that wal-mart sells downgraded goods, but it's not true that they're the only ones. Target sells you the same downgrade and pockets the difference.
If you're looking to spend a month's worth of skilled pay on a TV, then of course don't go to a bigbox store. This is a non-argument; it's like saying the people who got $500 full-package PCs from a brick-store should have bought a $2000 gayman PC from Best Buy instead. If somebody works a shit job and has only gets an hour a week of play time, then they're probably taking their money to wal-mart.
Nobody is saying it's the company our civilization wants. It's the company our civilization deserves.
where else can i go to grab a gallon of milk and a couple boxes of shotgun shells and 7.62nato?
Most are 24hrs, virtually anything you need you'll find in one place, which is obviously convenient. Better purchasing security because of return policy, relatively cheaper than niche stores...
Do you really even have to ask? It's the same thing with IKEA. And both department stores by the way are popular in China, so it's not just us who shop at Wal Mart.
Personally, I shop at Target though. Los Angeles made it so that only grand fathered in Walmarts have a presence, ergo Target is much more common here.
>>69744470
Nah. I think of the Walmart experience as kind of like a festival. Sometimes I mess up and wind up there when the EBT crowd are there. Lines are a mile long so I just enjoy the floor show and do my shopping another time. Also, their house brands are outstanding quality and it's the only place I know where I can get Vintage seltzer in the one liter bottle.
>>69744840
>ALOT of the products are crap.
All of it is from China. Walmart alternative to Brand name Meds are cheap though. Most people go to Walmart for convenience
>>69744840
It's gonna sound dumb but food at Walmart is worse than food bought elsewhere. If you don't believe me pick up a bag of Doritos from Walmart and then the same bag size and flavor from a grocery store and the Walmart ones will taste like crap.
Random shit:
There's one thing in particular I would go to a "mom&pop" shop for: PCs. I don't have anything against buying cheap prebuilt ones then un-shitting them, but if I want quality parts then I'd get it from a reputable small business. All the benefit of doing it myself, but I pay some small service charge for the luxury of having someone else deal with the shit if non-functioning parts arrive. Building it yourself is fun until you get identical broken motherboards in the mail one after another.
it has all name brand products for literally the lowest prices you can find. They are the only store with that much power to demand the lowest prices from their wholesalers

I bought a plastic container there not to long ago

>>69751069
There was this telnet text game for blind people with screen readers, where you explored a post-apocalyptic nukescape just like Fallout. There was a Fry's electronics in the middle of a radioactive desert, where you could scavenge for bulk-packages of computer parts to rapidly build tech gear.
HellMOO, if anyone's curious. It also has drugs and rape and burglarizing other player's homes.
>>69744274
I shop for groceries at my closest since its on average about 20+% cheaper than Publix and has higher quality produce and meat. Just wish they'd employ more than 6 Fucking cashiers but from managers I have talked to getting these fucktards to show up for work is a major challenge.
>>69751647
The industry norm for US food shoppe is to tell people when they'll be working shortly before they start working. This follows some fairly predictable patterns like holidays; but it's usually up to the employee to figure those patterns out. Basically, it's incompatible with being a single mother.
>guess who they hire
>>69744274
Only recently started shopping there because I won about $70 in gift cards
Their Savings Catcher is pretty good. I got coupons for free 12-packs and would end up getting $2 back.
People complain about the garden center and shitty roses and trees. The "body bag roses" are a big complaint, but you have to buy the ones that actually have something growing. Have four of them grow over a few years and just planted another two which are going pretty well so far. I usually wait when roses and trees are discounted, really only worth it then as they rarely or don't water them that often.
>>69744274
It's cheap, and you can buy shit, use it once, and fucking return it for cash back. It's like a library.

Because sometimes a shitty thing for cheap is good enough if I only need to use it a few times or do it half-assed. Though their glasses aren't bad, its where I tend to get work-heavy variants of my prescription done because the warranty is top notch.
>>69744929
Still tons of other stores near me, Aldi just opened, Albertsons, Ralphs, Staters Bros, and Winco are just a few.
Though I know this isn't the same all over the country.
But fuck me if you can find anything anywhere not food that is made in the US
>>69744274
only big shop open all over the country in every state and almost in every major city.
Their shops are full of different variety and are cheaper than specialized shops who sell the exact same product.

Bought some Doritos for $3 and they're supposed to be on sale for $1.50 at another store
>>69744274
I don't
I do all my shopping at HEB and only go to Walmart if I need to
>>69753279
I stopped shopping there once they stopped selling the Confederate flag.
Only buy from Amazon when I get gift cards.
It's the principle.
It's the only place in town that's open at 2-3am, when I'm usually done with work. Best time to go since there's hardly any people there.
Only drawback is that sometimes they haven't restocked the produce yet. Lot of times I make soup with green onion and ground pork and that stuff goes fast.
My parents shop there just so they can resell the shit at their business.
Funny how niggers would burn through their food stamps paying double at my parents store than to drive out to Walmart which is like 15 minutes away.

I know I do. It's actually pretty great being a hick. Trucks, guns, nature, traditional gender roles, snowmobiles, atvs, dirtbikes. You can dress however you want, you can act however you want, and nobody will give you shit as long you are one of them. What's not to love? Smart, successful hicks are better than their city-slicker counterpart. Even dumb hicks are better than dumb city people.
