I suppose I will put my two cents worth in. I usaully avoid going to
Walmart myself. It is too crowed and one time we took a car in for an
oil change and a disgruntle employee put oil in the car transmisson
because it was his/her last day. Walmart management would not pay the
repair bill.

I go as litlle as possible even though it is the closest store (15
miles). The little town I live in has very little (2000 population) so
sometimes I must go there. I have never had problems with the employees
and they have been helpful many times, even asking if they can help me
find something. I still perfer Target but the closest is 30 minutes
away. So I plan trips once or twice a month to use Target and Lowes and
avoid Walmart.

>From what I understand the Walmarts in germany are closing. They were
not all the great over there either. The Germans had far better big box
stores.
