It's the only place I can buy cheese and spray paint at all hours so I check my morals with the greeter. I need food and weird shit with a dose of convenience pretty often

Fair enough. But at what cost?

Walmart is everything I hate about us in bright fluorescence. Always low prices on your very soul.

I worked there for over three years. I'm intimately familiar with how awful they are but driving to three stores that might be miles apart, also big boxes too in almost every case, isn't really doing anyone any good except maybe some feelings of moral superiority on my part.

I've been in a Walmart three times and only once have I purchased something.

What a horrible place.

Walmart is a bad store with bad policies. Grocery store culture is almost a thing where I live, and that's because of one word:

Wegmans.
