Are People Really Being Fooled By the New Wal*Mart Ads? (1 Viewer)

The Home Depot by our house is pretty good, too. When we were re-doing our basement floor several years ago, the guy in the flooring section was very helpful in providing instructions on how to prep the cement floor for the vinyl tiles we were installing. It's been at least 12 years, and not one tile has come loose.I still like to frequent the small businesses, though. The lawn & garden store that closed after 84 years is where I purchased my last snow blower, plus had repairs done on our previous one. A cousin of mine used to work there in the summer, too (his mom -- my aunt -- worked for their industrial equipment division).

Came across this article in fast company this morning and remembered this thread. Interesting perspective. Hey were talking about these urban format stores several years ago. Good to see them rolling out. http://www.fastcompany.com/3023007/5-surprises-at-the-new-big-city-walmart-in-washington-dc

Sorry it gave you a headache, Dave!

Dick, your comments kinda make my head hurt. I'm not sure if you're indicting yourself as a shopper or what?I don't shop at Walmart. Have been in the store a handful of times the past 15 years. I don't have any feelings over whether anyone else shops there.But I don't understand why anyone would shop there if they get cursing mad over the ads. There are so many options for big box retail, all with competitive prices. Use the other stores and reduce the stress in your life.
