I actually relaxed my hated for Wal-Mart some when I realized it was actually
the Wal-Martians I hated, not the place itself.My local WM closes at 10pm so I
if I need something I aim to get there at 9:30 when its mostly empty.
I'm surprised recently to find more "Made in USA" stuff there, in particular
I've been buying Allen soft gun cases, they're cheaper than Amazon and "Made in
USA" as opposed to "Made in China" from Amazon...

I understand your dislike for the el mercado de wal. I used to dislike
them as much, and was ambivalent about the river of big women. However,
this the gaming (and the prices) by the Jeffturd crew has gotten worse,
while the mercado de wall now allows third party vendors, and in many
cases, the stuff can be delivered to the local store free. I see the
dead sam crew becoming more customer friendly at the same time jeffturd
crew has become more spiteful toward its customers.
I dislike both, but it is getting to the point where i'd rather buy from
dead sam than jeffturd.
Up yours, Dead Sam!
Up yours, Jeffturd!
