I hate how it's French but I must agree I would rather shop at target then walmart anyday of the week. I do prefer the slightly higher quality shoppers there.

lol....talk about thread-jacking! I work at Sam's Club. I never had a problem. The only people that do are the ones that break policy or steal. You get a few people that think companies are there to cater to them, but it is the other way around, the needs of the business come first. Everyone picks on the biggest company because, quite frankly, they are the biggest company. All you haters should check out www.walmartfacts.com

It is impossible for an illegal immigrant to work for Wal-Mart. The only way you get a job there is if you have a valid drivers license, Social Security Number, and pass Criminal Background Checks and Drug Screens.

There was a problem in the past with one contractor that used illegals, but as soon as WM found out about it they dropped them and started using their own employees to do the needed work.

Do you suggest we start doing background checks on everyone who wants to buy a Coke? If you have money, you are free to shop anywhere in this country. I suppose you asked the people you saw if they were here legally or not? Stereotyping is wrong and in this case, darn near racism. I don't deny we have a problem with illegals in this country, but take the fight to you congressman to get better border protection on ALL of our borders. That is how you make a difference.

But with all their lo lo prices...you be crazy not to shop there

What ____es me off is that they dont sell guns anymore......Aw....I remember the good ole days...stroll into the Sprall-Mart...pick up some diapers, beer and a Mosberg shotgun and hit the 10 items or less lane and be out the door....

Wal-mart scares me....but I will contiue to shop there to buy groceries, plus its like an Crocodile Hunter adventure discovering all the people from the wild.....

Wal-Mart FTW in global take over!

I'm sure it varies by locale, but the kmarts here are disgusting. First, they take up valuble real esate that better retailer could do very well in, Target, Baby's R Us, anything. Second, they don't turn on the a/c because, well, the 45 shoppers they get a month don't support it. Third, they are more depressing than wakes. I feel like I need Tony Robbins by side walking down the isles keeping me focused so I don't "accidently" slit my throat with the greasy haired clerk's 9" stilleto nails.

In Hawaii the K-mart was nicer then any Wal-mart I have ever seen. But all the other K-marts I've been to have been just nasty.

Are you saying Target is french? It is a MN based company. It was started by Daytons, (now Macy's) as on outlet for surplus dayton's products. The first store was in Roseville, MN. I do shop at walmart, they sell mobil 1 20% cheaper than the local auto parts stores.
