It is definately 1 stop shopping. Can't argue that point.
I've long said that Wal-Mart, like McDonald's, could change it's slogan to "Wal-Mart, cuz f*ck, that's why." and not lose a bit of business.
They do seem to be getting worse. I only find myself in one about 2-3 time a year and hate myself after I leave. My God, the last one I went in was only a couple years old and it was FILTHY. Like disgustingly filthy and run down. Broekn carts, grime everywhere, nasty-ass people shuffling in a stupor about like some demented Monty Python skit.
Then you go to a store like Reasor's and it's clean as a whistle and people are falling all over themselves to be nice and help you. I'd much rather pay more for anything I could possibly buy at a store like that than patronize Wally World.
That's pretty funny RH.... I've been to DOZENS of WMs across the country, and I have been in a few like that. Maybe 3 or 4. Usually in very bad areas of a very large city. But the vast vast majority of all the WM's I have been into have been clean and neat overall, much moreso than a lot of the "mom & pop" stores everyone thinks are the panacea of shopping. And I haven't found the employees in the small-town IGAs and Food Lions and Homelands to be any better trained, friendlier or smarter in general than the average WM employee I've interacted with.
Like I said... my comparison is based on dozens of WMs all around the US, and probably hundreds of smaller grocery stores all around the US, as well as the local small-time and big-box offerings in at least 7 other countries in North America and Europe. I'm sorry your Glenpool Wal-Mart is such a disappointment to you. I would encourage you to express your feelings to the manager of your local store, and also to patronize some other place that suits your needs and desires better.Go to the Glenpool Wal-Mart and the go to the Reasor's grocery store in Jenks and you'll understand my view. The Wal-Mart in Glenpool is only a couple years old and it is filthy in comparison.
Better yet, go to the Glenpool Wal-Mart on the first of the month.
Go
I agree.Nobody has stated the real reason that Wal-Mart has been successful. Where's else can you go to buy an 870, toothpaste, mayo, razors, dogfood, a hunting lincense, and a pez dispenser in the same place? You pair that with the fact the people are just naturally lazy and, BANG, success.
Customer service is not integral to their success.

That's what I do, but what you do is obviously your own choice.
I'd agree with that 100%. I don't go to WM looking to be waited on or "served". The extent of my interaction with employees is usually to ask where something is (maybe every 3rd or 4th trip I have to do that for one item.... MAYBE), and to have someone ring up my purchases. Generally it works for me.Nobody has stated the real reason that Wal-Mart has been successful.

Maybe you're going to the wrong grocery stores?
