I feel SOOOO bad...

[Archae]

I'm a regular shopper at Wal-Mart.

(I need to be, since I don't have much money and no car.)

1. You get the poverty pass

But we live in the big city so we have choices to spend our ever shrinking piece of the pie....

2. Where I live it's either VERY expensive specialty shops or W-Mart

For certain items. I know several people who can't afford the former and have to shop at the latter. I don't judge them for it, it's not their fault.

3. yeah, I'm basically in that boat myself.....

I go elsewhere only because it's closer. Otherwise, I might be a shopper there myself.

4. We don't shop at Wal-mart, and we don't criticize those who do

Everyone has to do what makes sense for them in their own personal situation. When the subject of Wal-mart comes up, I make sure people know my opinion and why I hold it, and I'll make a bid to convince them not to shop there, too, but there are too many places where Wal-Mart is the only option, and too many folks for whom, like you, Wal-Mart is the only practical option.

5. It's the only game in my town.

Either there or drive an hour away for something else. I get my shampoo and such there when I need to. The groceries I try to buy at locally owned stores.

I feel for you. It really sucks to be stuck w/ Walmart.
