I Don’t Care How Much Money I Save at Walmart - I Hate It!
I just got back from Walmart. I never shop there but hubby does ocassionally for certain things and today he asked me if I would go and get those certain things for him so he could work on the house. I am a loving wife and I obliged.
The place makes my skin crawl. From the layout to the feel of it. It’s chaotic and makes my brain hurt. I wanted to gouge my eyes out the moment I walked in and I swear it had nothing to do with both of my kids in the cart screaming for something or other.
I couldn’t have been happier the moment I walked out the door. And no, not because I saved a bundle of money, which I did, but because it was like stepping back into my own universe.
I’m not sure what it is about MallWart (what Drew has funnily named it) that makes me cringe, but whatever it is, I am going to listen to my brain screaming for me to run far far away next time. No amount of money saved is worth the experience that makes me want to shoot myself in the head. A girl has her limits.
Ohh, yes yes. I absolutely HATE going into Walmart. It makes me feel… dirty. And cheap. And I get very depressed when inside. I avoid it at all costs. It’s so irritating though - there’s one right behind my apartment complex, which makes it so convenient! I’ve gone in there three times and was itching to get out the whole time. Ugh.
You make me laugh
I used to hate it… when they built a Super WalMart in my town. It was so big and I could hardly find my way around. I just wanted to go back to smaller stores.
But now that I’ve been going for a few years… I like it. I love it actually. I can’t imagine going back to the way things were.
Mr. Stupid
I actually really dislike Walmart and everything it stands for and what makes me so mad is that I often end up there (at least once a month) because it is so much cheaper! I hate what WM has done to the little local shop so while I do admit that I’m a WM shopper at times, I also try to shop at our local town shops too…takes a little of the guilt away
I’m lucky that if I want to go to a similar type of store the closest one is Target. While Target has too much red, it’s a lot easier on the brain in my experience.
But I try to just avoid either. Makes me feel bad about all kind of things…*sigh*
I don’t care for Walmart either. I refuse to go on the weekend, it’s so crowded and noisy.
I have hated wal mart for years. When my wife and I moved to MO, she found employment there.
Made me sick everytime I went in there.
She left (walked out in anger) them and I haven’t been there since. Won’t ever go again. If they are the only place to find something I won’t ever have it.
I like reading/hearing about their down fall.
Amen, sister! But I live in a small town and it’s MallWart or NOTHING!
Preach it! I’ve found that Target prices are only a penny or so over Walmart’s–and Target runs sales. Worth the extra cost to keep my sanity.
We have created our own little tribute to Wal-Evil.

[...] that I “love everything red!” That’s not true. You could paint Walmart red and I still would hate it. But I hate bananas and would maybe like them a little more if they were red, so there is that. I [...]
