Which to Buy -- Opinions Please
#9
Eric I agree with you on WMT. I was going to buy it about 2 years ago when it dipped to $49, but was focused on WAG at the time and let it slide. I have thought of selling a little WAG (I have a ton) and splitting it up between WMT and TGT but I can't make myself do it.

I absolutely hate going in the store though. I've been in Walmarts all over the country and it's consistently the worst shopping experience ever conceived. We got one here about 18 months ago, been in there a few times and I swear people get stupid the minute they walk in the door. Groups of 5-10 people just standing around BSing clogging up the aisles, teenagers hanging out, people slamming into you with their carts, or lone shoppers staring out into space like they just had a lobotomy.

The last time I went to my local Walmart was over the 4th of July. I had seen the ads for their angus steaks and thought I'd give them a shot. I get to the meat section and there's two fat people blocking out the whole thing just staring at the steaks; not looking them over like they might buy some but staring at them like they were trying to figure out what it was. $15 a steak, I told my wife let's just go to Longhorn for that price and we did.

Babies are born in Walmart, people get stabbed in Walmart, I honestly think some people live in Walmart. Probably need their own police force in some of them. Mostly cheap Chinese junk too. It's just the pits, IMO. But they're always packed with people spending money.

And then there is Sam's Club, where people go to graze on the free food samples. I was in one about 5 years ago around Christmas time looking for a new TV and I felt like I was in stuck in the middle of one of those mass demonstrations/uprisings like you see over in Egypt or Greece. Felt like I might need to buy a set of steak knives to fight my way out!

I could go on.
