Wal*Mart

[BabyPiglet]

So last night I was watching a documentary on WalMart. And then today it was on again. Then some people here were talking about it.

So...what's your thoughts/opinions on WalMart?

[::Snow_White::]

I ♥ Wal-Mart.
Alot.

I go there every week.
They have everything.
Shoes, clothes, purses [Disney ones. :D], video games, music, scrapbooking stuff, and my favorite...food. xD
Yes, Wal-Mart is Amazing.

[Nascar48]

Never been to one.

[BabyPiglet]

Please tell me you're kidding.

[PurpleDucky]

WalMart rocks your face!!!

[disneydance]

Believe it or not we have had many bad experiences with Walmart and have quit shopping there now we shop at Target we know many other people who have had bad experiences and we are against it supposely theres a Walmart coming down by the airport right down the street from us and many people including us are against this I dont know if its different where others live but we have extremely long lines they give bad directions if you ask where something is and they treat there employees horribly where i live theres a joke that you can retire early but work "part time" as a door greater at Wal-Mart which they do this so they dont have to pay insurance benefits for there employees and they cut there shifts off by 30 minutes so they dont have to pay insurance benefits these are a few reasons why i dont like wal-mart

[PowerMonkey]

i like walmart ... the "roll-back" happy face logo makes me happy lol

[SplshMtnLvr28]

I only go there if I really need something... I prefer Target, even though they're pretty much the same. Target is usually a lot cleaner than Walmart. :p

[Sparx]

i live in a small town. its pretty much walmart or nothing.

[taz]

Never been to one.
No Way.:confused3


Wal-Mart is good if you just need to get one or two things.

Id rather go to Target if I had to, though.

[WDWLIGHTNINGZ]

Love it, much much better than it's British partner - ASDA. Well it's better than any British supermarkets IMO.

[pirateprinces_dancer]

ok ilike walmart most of the time but sometimes it realy bugs me like when they don't have something you really need...imo i lke target a little bit more

but yes walmart rox...

[Princess_Dot]

I go there for craft supplies, like if I have a project and I need specific art stuff. Its not really good (the one near me anyway) for much else.

[BabyPiglet]

We have...5 WalMart's in our town. All supercenters. We don't have many small chain markets.

It's pretty much just WalMart. You even have to go the next town over to get to a Target. They're building one now though, yay.

[Lizbon]

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I don't like Wal-mart. Places like that creep me out. I just don't like places where you can buy your clothes, food and everything else in one place. I know the prices are great, and I got there for school supplies, but its kind of like a phobia for me. I just like having seperate stores for the things I buy. Like, Shop Rite for food, Kohls for clothes, ect. Sorry fif I sound like a jerk in any way shape or form. Feel free to quote I'd like to hear people's opinions about this.

[marypops!]

never been... i've also never seen one when i've gone to Florida! We always go to Publix and have never thought of going to anywhere else.

ASDA is the UK equivilent (because it's owned by Walmart) and i don't like it there much... though i like Tesco and Morrisons :-D

[pigletgirl]

Walmart has its place, and it definitely isn't my favorite store, but its always available whenever I need it!! Its one of the cheapest places to buy DVD's and such.

[Damhsa04]

You have to love Wally World. lol. I personally like it better than Target, I'm not sure why, maybe because it's closer and I go to it more. I don't really like buying my clothes there, maybe because I'm a teenage girl and I don't want to say I got my clothes at walmart, but I get movies and like the basic things there.

[Pirate Me]

We have one near but we never go there...I'd like to though. :D

[Disney.Ears]

never been... i've also never seen one when i've gone to Florida! We always go to Publix and have never thought of going to anywhere else.

Same. In Florida we usually go to Publix too. But on other vacations we always use Walmart.

Walmart is just great for everything in general. They have all your living needs ;) We have a Walmart about..15 minutes from my house and it's a superstore so it's HUGE and I love it. :)

[tinkerbelle22]

Walmart is great, but I like Target and Kohl's better. Like a few others said, I can run into Walmart for a few things, but Target and Kohl's is for a more detailed shopping trip :)

[CrazyChik]

I know two in Florida
;)

I like ASDA but they recently built a Tesco's in our town so there's no need to go there anymore.
I hate morrisons and sainsbury's is drastically over-priced though not as much as Wait-rose is.
Is safeway still around? I haven't seen one for ages!

[Jasmine45]

I hate it.

[disney100666]

Never been to one.

are you serious?

well, I don't like Walmart that much, but my mom loves it. I'm embarrassed to walk through there most of the time.

[BabyPiglet]

I don't get why some many people are embaressed to go to WM. It's just a STORE. Like any other store.

Morrisons bought Safeway. We used to have one and now it's Morrisons

remember, there's more reasons to shop at Morrisons :p (plus they sell cinnamon swirls, 2 for 60p i believe :-D)

[DramaGirl]

My family and I don't like it because they treat their employees like crap... and thats better than some of the words I'm thinking. I'm surprised so many here like it- most of the people in my town hate it...

[Rockstar mentality]

Do any of u realize what walmart is doing 2 our economy? Im not gonna go into the details since i dony wanna sound like a rambling old man but thats one of the many reasons that the us economy is failing. I mean look at our dollar the canadian dollar is now worth more. I dont mean that 2 an insult to the canadian people here but the us dollar should be 1 and a half dollars more then it.

[BabyPiglet]

My family and I don't like it because they treat their employees like crap... and thats better than some of the words I'm thinking. I'm surprised so many here like it- most of the people in my town hate it...
Really? My cousin worked their for his first job (poor college student) and said the people treated him really well. Yeah the pay isn't going to be good but hey, that's like any other store.

I guess everyone around here likes it because we live in Arkansas. (Where Sam Walton was born and started his business).

[AngelInDisguise]

We used to go to Walmart sometimes, but now we don't. They are too low class. sorry to sound like the downer, but its true. Everything is from China (which we don't buy made in china items) and is too sleezy.

[Lizbon]

I don't get why some many people are embaressed to go to WM. It's just a STORE. Like any other store.

If this was diercted at me, I'm not embaressed I just don't like the store... its hard to explain.

[AngelInDisguise]

I don't get why some many people are embarrassed to go to WM. It's just a STORE. Like any other store.


I'm embarrassed to go. Its because I don't want to be in the same class of people that do go to Walmart.

[Tinkerbell424]

I love Wal-Mart.

It's about a 20 minute drive so I don't go there a lot.But when I do,we buy cosmetics,movies,posters,clothes and food from there.

:goodvibes

[Lizbon]

I'm embarrassed to go. Its because I don't want to be in the same class of people that do go to Walmart.

Wow... sorry. I just had to say that.

[AngelInDisguise]

well the people that go their, when you think about it, are mostly welfare type people.

[Lizbon]

So many people on this boards that you are friends with just said they love it there and you just competly insulted them. I'm not trying to start a fight, I just don't get why you would come out and say it like that.

[AngelInDisguise]

well, I'm sorry. I am. But it is the truth. Well, at least here it is. IDK maybe at your Walmart it is different, but at mine it is just WOW.

[Lizbon]

Well if you read my early posts, I am not a fan of Wal Mart either but it has nothing to do with social class. I'm just saying.

[disney100666]

Brit as I recall I remember you before maybe months ago saying you went to walmart for this and this and this.......

[AngelInDisguise]

did you read my post? I said we USED to go. But we don't ANYMORE.

[disney100666]

did you read my post? I said we USED to go. But we don't ANYMORE.

oohhhhh.......

[Babyjustrun]

well the people that go their, when you think about it, are mostly welfare type people.

Oh yeah, definitely, everyone who's at Walmart right now, is on welfare.
:sad2:

That just aggravates me to no end. I shop at Walmart (for anything), my friends shop there, heck the girls at my school who live in the biggest houses, wear the most expensive clothes and get to visit the most extravagant places, shop at Walmart. All types of people. Just because you've got more money, doesn't mean Walmart's 'sleezy'

[AngelInDisguise]

Its okay. I don't mean to be mean, but I like to say what is on my mind. To a certain degree though....

[AngelInDisguise]

well thats your walmart. not mine. your walmart probly is very nice and everything.

[Rockstar mentality]

Classs shouldnt be an issue here. Some areas are obviously diffrent and sometimes places get better. Last weekend my family drove 2 Harlem 2 go to a barbecue place. We are all uptight becasue its Harlem. We went into Harlem and it wasnt any diffrent then the city. We didnt even know that we were in Harlem until we saw a sign for a theater we knew was there. Walmart jsut robs the us economy of many billions of dollars. Even though they employ massive ammounts of people but the cons outweigh the pros

[Babyjustrun]

well thats your walmart. not mine. your walmart probly is very nice and everything.

Not really.
A nice Wal-Mart would be like the Supercenter that I went to in Orlando. It was clean, bright, huge, clean. I loved it.
Mine is kinda dinky, and the floor is practically stained from winters past. (Slush +mud)

[Sparx]

well the people that go their, when you think about it, are mostly welfare type people.

Oh i would love to hear you tell me exactly what "welfare type" people are like. I was born to a teenage high-school drop out mother who was on welfare and Hudd at one point. My mom also went on to get her GED and masters degree in psychology. shes working for the state of tennessee right now, until she finishes all of her classes and can open her own therapists office. Oh yeah, my dad is becoming a lawyer too. I work as a freelance photographer and a waitress.

Now, i want to know why you are too good to shop with the likes of my family.

Oh, and btw, walmart is probably too expensive for a lot of people on welfare.

Well usually because people on welfare go to th bar every night ad blow all their money and well do other stuff that I just can't explain. Trust me, I have seen everything and I don't want people to think of our family as that.

[Sparx]

You don't want people to think badly of you? Stop making stupid close-minded overly-judgmental statements that are fueled by nothing except a holier than thou attitude.

[Lizbon]

Well usually because people on welfare go to th bar every night ad blow all their money and well do other stuff that I just can't explain. Trust me, I have seen everything and I don't want people to think of our family as that.

Do youhave proof that all people that are on welfare blow their money on drinks? And why at 12 years old are you SO worried about what people think? You know that your family is not on welfare, and the people close to you, and those who are important to you know that to.
Shelby just told us her moms story and welfare helps people, those on welfare shouldn't be ashamed, they are doing what it takes to help their family.

[Rockstar mentality]

Wow angel ure are making pig faced closed minded extremly judgemental statements. Its really unfair 4 u to judge people. The country that u and i live in is based on the fact that we dont do that

[imabrat]

well the people that go their, when you think about it, are mostly welfare type people.

I shop there and I am most CERTAINLY NOT on welfare.

That is a huge stereyotype to place on a group of shoppers.



I'm sorry if this has already been posted,but I was very offended by this comment.

[AngelInDisguise]

Yes I do maybe not everyone does. I'm sure not everyone does, but from what I have seen they do. And IDK. Usually I'm not, but when I come onto here I feel like I need to be more than I am.

[AngelInDisguise]

I'm sorry. Sincerly sorry to all those I have offended I didn't mean to. I just thought that I could put out my idea on it and not be snaped at. I know I should not think that, but that is what I have been raised with. I know I am my own person, but when I was raised with judging its the only thing I know.

[reminisce]

when did walmart become so controversial? i, personally, think it all depends on where you live. if you live near one where there is a lot of people who arent doing very well money-wise, then thats who youre going to see there. if you live in a rich neighborhood surrounded by lots of rich neighborhoods, then the people you see at walmart are going to be a bit different, arent they?

[Rockstar mentality]

I'm sorry. Sincerly sorry to all those I have offended I didn't mean to. I just thought that I could put out my idea on it and not be snaped at. I know I should not think that, but that is what I have been raised with. I know I am my own person, but when I was raised with judging its the only thing I know.


All i can say 2 u is look at the big picture and think for yourself. If u cant now mabe it will be easier 4 u when ure older

[PurpleDucky]

Well usually because people on welfare go to th bar every night ad blow all their money and well do other stuff that I just can't explain. Trust me, I have seen everything and I don't want people to think of our family as that.

I talk that comment rather offensively.
My mother used to be on welfare and food coupons.
She didn't go to the bar every night and blow her money away as you like to say.
She was struggling to buy us food every week to keep us fed.
She NEVER went out to drink, because she kept us first
That was beyond rude.
Who cares if people think of your family as that? Other people's comments shouldn't bother you so much.

[Sparx]

I'm sorry. Sincerly sorry to all those I have offended I didn't mean to. I just thought that I could put out my idea on it and not be snaped at.

well if you know its bad, why don't you stop doing it? People can rise above their backgrounds.

[crazytp93]

they put a huge wal mart in our mall. you know how a mall has like a big store that pretty much is in the front of the mall and like is the biggest store? ours is wal mart :headache:

its good if you need like a game system. we rarely go there. we like target better.

We don't have one in specific.
We have like a Walmart, Sport Chek, Toys R Us and a Sears as the big entrance stores.

[crazytp93]

its odd the way the mall is set up. the walmart is by the main enterance in the middle. then there is a sears and JCPenny on the far sides.

[Maleficent909TL]

Yeah, we used to shop at Wal*Mart, but they kept it all crappy; everything was a mess. Then we walked into Target, and I like it a lot better. There's just something more appealing about it. Nothing specific.

And not to get involved in the big debate, but I don't think Wal*Mart should have anything to do specifically with social class or anything. That has more to do with where you live than anything.

[crazytp93]

to me its just weird having a wal mart right across from an american eagle.

[disneydance]

We used to go to Walmart sometimes, but now we don't. They are too low class. sorry to sound like the downer, but its true. Everything is from China (which we don't buy made in china items) and is too sleezy.

I tottally agree here our family only goes in there if my dance tights rip the day of the competition(its happened 2 times) and i needed tight immediately and the dance store is closed other than that Wal-Mary is too low class me, my friends, there parents, and my parents all made of names for Wal Mart and Target our name for Wal-Mart is Crap Mart and our name for Target is Wonderful Mart

[taz]

I'm embarrassed to go. Its because I don't want to be in the same class of people that do go to Walmart.

Wow, do you guys think of others?


My family shops and wal-mart. By no means are we poor or anything. My parents dont drink or anything.

Thats pretty low of you guys.... kinda pathetic actually.


I got a feeling Disney, that you made it up. Who calls Target Wonderful Mart?



Geeze

[kaysiefacey]

IMO thats pathetic.
If were going to talk low class here might as well tell it
The Walmart here in town has a subway.
and Target only has a little target popcorn and drinks place.

how is this low class??

[taz]

I still cant believe that disney comes and says that when she didnt see all the criticism someone got for saying Wal-Mart is low class or whatever.

[Sparx]

all i have to say is some of you might want to pull your noses so high out of the air or you might drown the next time it rains.

I'm not joking here i'm just telling you my opinons and just for your fyi i didnt mean all my friends I just meant that me and some friends and my BFF who lives in Illinois loves Wal Mart and its just extremely streotyped where i live one of my neighbors(i'm not lying) has a magnet on a white board in there garge which says Wal Mart a place for cheap plastic crap also another neighbor across the street from us who recently moved hate wal mart alot its just its streo typed where i live there are so many people who hate wal mart and from my experiences i do too and i think it would be imberressing to be found in wal mart but thats JMO

Thank you!:)

I'm one of those people that'll walk into WalMart with my pj's on. I could care less what people think of me.

Are you one of those people that would go to Disney barefoot?
Just wondering.

[PurpleDucky]

No sorry. That's disgusting. I don't want a disease ty :)
And plus, walking around Disney barefoot, has gotta be killer on your muscles.

[disneydance]

I still cant believe that disney comes and says that when she didnt see all the criticism someone got for saying Wal-Mart is low class or whatever.

Ok i'm horrible i'm terrible i'm a B%$ch since i'm against Wal Mart I just have other feeling about it where i live there are alot of other places to shop and thats the way it is there is a Mall right next to the Wal Mart where i live and we would much rather by clothes there and there is a Haggen right across the street and we dont care about toys and we have a Target and a Costco if we need video games right next to each other and they are closer we have everything we need with out walking into a Wal Mart and JMO there prices arent any better than Targets. So thats why Wal Mart is thought as lower class where i live due to its un clean dis organized long lines etc. thats how its thought as lower class where i live most people i know thinks of it as lower class and refer to it that way i'm sorry i grew up another way and have other feelings

[disneydance]

Are you one of those people that would go to Disney barefoot?

lol

[AngelInDisguise]

oh ok. I was thinking the same thing. Total grossness I don't see how people can do that.

[AngelInDisguise]

nvm

[Sparx]

I'm one of those people that'll walk into WalMart with my pj's on. I could care less what people think of me.

i'll go most places with my pajamas on. i really don't care what people think about me. if you wanna call me low class, go ahead. its not going to make me think you're so cool. i don't look at what other people are wearing in stores, and i wait for the day i have nothing better to do than criticize the dress of people who are out shopping, because right now i don't have that kind of time on my hands. it'll be a welcome relief when i do.

[disneydance]

I wasn't talking to you.

Never mind :)

[AngelInDisguise]

well if you walked into a store in your p.j.'s, I would think you didn't care about yourself. If you didn't even have the energy to get dressed in the morning you would be lazy in my eyes and would have no self confidence.

you have to have a lot of self confidence to leave the house in my bright orange Operation pajama pants.
I work two jobs. I spend my whole weekend either on set or at work. yeah, i'm not getting all fancied up to go to walmart.

well, since you work 2 jobs and everything then don't you think you should give off that impresion. Even if they don't know you and will never see you again, you want to give them that I'm a worker and a good person attitude. And going somewhere in your pjs doesn't give that off.

since i work two jobs, i know that workers don't care what you're wearing. they care if you're nice, courteous, and pleasant to be around. I am all of the above. oh, and i tend to get a lot of compliments on my bright orange pajamas, anyway. I'd rather be comfortable and treated the same way as I would be if I were dressed up. Clothes don't make a person, and they don't make workers accept you anymore. Again I say, i long for the day I have nothing better to do than judge others on how they're dressed.

[::Snow_White::]

I would go to Walmart with pjs on if my mom would let me.
I see people do it all the time, and I don't have the time to care about what other people are wearing.
I could care less what I look like when I'm going to Walmart or what anyone thinks about the way I dress.
I want to be comfortable and that's all I care about.

[AngelInDisguise]

Wow. Just wow. I would love to see you get an actual job (like a job to support yourself when you move out) in orange pjs. That will sure make it easy!

Not..........

I don't wear pajamas to work. I wear pajamas to walmart. I wear jeans and a tshirt to both jobs, since both are rather physically demanding and messy.

[Sparx]

Isnt first impression for clients mean alot meaning what you wear

Clients with photography usually speak to me over the phone before ever meeting me. the meetings are set up and again, i'm wearing jeans and a tshirt. I don't usually tend to have people walk up to me out of the blue in walmart and say "hey, wanna take my picture?"

Customers at the restaurant see me in jeans and a tshirt, probably covered in stains, and my hair in a ponytail. yet somehow, i tend to triple my daily wage in tips.

ok but still what would you do if you saw a client well at wal mart wouldnt they think of you as lazy

[AngelInDisguise]

still just wow. I apparently am not "in" on this new fashion. To go out in your pjs. I will keep a note of that.

[disneydance]

Clients with photography usually speak to me over the phone before ever meeting me. the meetings are set up and again, i'm wearing jeans and a tshirt. I don't usually tend to have people walk up to me out of the blue in walmart and say "hey, wanna take my picture?"

Customers at the restaurant see me in jeans and a tshirt, probably covered in stains, and my hair in a ponytail. yet somehow, i tend to triple my daily wage in tips.

ok but still maybe if you where nicer clothing you would get even more money in tips

[Sparx]

ok but still what would you do if you saw a client well at wal mart wouldnt they think of you as lazy
i honestly doubt half my clients would recognize me. considering that most of them are probably dressed in sweats and a tshirt, too. I have hair and wardrobe on hand for a reason.

[Sparx]

ok but still maybe if you where nicer clothing you would get even more money in tips

i'm not ruining nice clothes for an extra .50. and i've eaten in quite a few restaurants. never have i tipped a waitress for how she dresses. and if people are doing that now, i don't need their money anyway-if my attire is all they care about.

[AngelInDisguise]

if they are going outin pjs, then their company isn't going to last long as long as their running it. I'm sorry dear, but your living in an imaginary world. Its about time to wake up, don't ya think.

[Sparx]

i'm not living in an imaginary world. i'm living in the real world where i work for the money i have. not only do i work, but i make some pretty damn good money for what I do. call my world imaginary if you want, but i'm still really really good at what I do, and people are still wanting to pay me for my services. My choice of pajamas doesn't bother them in the slightest, and if it bothers you, maybe you're the one who needs to wake up.

[PurpleDucky]

well if you walked into a store in your p.j.'s, I would think you didn't care about yourself. If you didn't even have the energy to get dressed in the morning you would be lazy in my eyes and would have no self confidence.

I'm glad you feel that way.
And how does lazy have to do with having no self confidence?

[BabyPiglet]

So Angel, tell me how you can walk into WalMart, and pick out the people who are on welfare? Do you have some sort of x-ray vision?

You really need to step off of your incredibly high pedestal, it's never going to get you anywhere.

Disneydance, that's crap and you know it.

Also, I think it takes really HIGH self-esteem to go out in your pj's and not care what the hell anyone else thinks. Let's see, I'm 15 and about to graduate high school, then start college at 16 and get a full-time job to help pay for it. But I should just give all that up, right? Because I'll never get anywhere since I go to walmart in my pajamas.

Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.

Shelby, all I can say is thank you. Thank you for going to walmart in your pj's.

haha, you're welcome jenny. and thank you jenny, for being another pajama success story.;)

[taz]

I agree here

You just keep saying I agree. NOt stating your own opinion.


Oh Well :)

[AngelInDisguise]

you are too lazy to get dressed in the morning is what I meant PurpleDucky

[BabyPiglet]

And, just because I need to get this out.

My mom dropped out of high school in 10th grade, only to go on and get her GED, then Bachelor's degree in accounting. When I was young, we were on foodstamps off and on while my mother was trying to pay her student loans off, and still be a full-time student and mother.

I'll be happy to tell her you think she's a lazy alcoholic.

[AngelInDisguise]

I was saying SOME (SOME MEANING NOT EVERYONE) people. If you look back I said SOME.

[taz]

Ok i'm horrible i'm terrible i'm a B%$ch since i'm against Wal Mart I just have other feeling about it where i live there are alot of other places to shop and thats the way it is there is a Mall right next to the Wal Mart where i live and we would much rather by clothes there and there is a Haggen right across the street and we dont care about toys and we have a Target and a Costco if we need video games right next to each other and they are closer we have everything we need with out walking into a Wal Mart and JMO there prices arent any better than Targets. So thats why Wal Mart is thought as lower class where i live due to its un clean dis organized long lines etc. thats how its thought as lower class where i live most people i know thinks of it as lower class and refer to it that way i'm sorry i grew up another way and have other feelings

Well you call it lower class. Many people shop there so.... you think we all lower then you? Its nice you think your so great and we're not.


Have A Nice Day :)

[Sparx]

you are too lazy to get dressed in the morning is what I meant PurpleDucky

if you MEANT "lazy" why did you write "not confident"?

[AngelInDisguise]

Well you call it lower class. Many people shop there so.... you think we all lower then you? Its nice you think your so great and we're not.


Have A Nice Day :)

since tis was probly directed to me also, I intend to.

[AngelInDisguise]

if you MEANT "lazy" why did you write "not confident"?

I wrote lazy and not confident.

[Sparx]

I wrote lazy and not confident.

well why did you write the not confident part, but then go on to say that you didn't mean that to devan?

i can pretty much guarantee you that devan, jenny, and I (the ones with the proverbial balls to go out in our pajamas) have a lot more self confidence than anyone who is going to stand there and judge us for it.

[BabyPiglet]

Trust me, I have seen everything and I don't want people to think of our family as that.

Eh, you have, have ya?

You couldn't possibly, or you wouldn't be saying all this crap.

You people just don't see the world. Trust me. Even though I am 12 I can guarantee you that I have a lot more of a look on the world than you. So lets just drop this. *click*

really? just take that up with people that know me.

edit.

[BabyPiglet]

I'm guessing if you knew anything, anything at all about the real world, you wouldn't be this ignorant.

Sorry if it sounded harsh, but it's the truth.

[PurpleDucky]

you are too lazy to get dressed in the morning is what I meant PurpleDucky

If you meant that, then why was it not in your original post?
You said I have no self confidence. And I truly believe that's what you meant.

And to answer your question. No
I don't need to look beautiful just to go to Wal mart. Or any other grocery stores for that matter. I know how to clean up, I dress up nice for nice restuarants and etc.

Lets see how far you get in life once you enter the real world.

[SplshMtnLvr28]

I really try not to judge people off their clothes or shoes or whatever, but if I see someone in pajamas in pubic I get the smallest twinge of laziness from them. It doesn't matter where they are, be it school, Walmart, walking down the street, going into a restaurant, or walking into a designer store. I just don't see what's so difficult about putting on a pair of jeans. I don't really understand how you would need a lot of self confidence to wear pajamas in public. Even if I'm just running uptown to get something from the local grocery store (we don't have any walmarts or target in my town, they're about 20+ minutes away) or gas station or something on a saturday i'd still put jeans on, because i'd be pretty embarassed if a teacher or other adult i respected saw me in my pajamas. i could care less what the kids in my school think though, because they're the ones who wear sweatpants or pjs to school every day.

this is just my opinion, though. i've been reading the thread and just wanted to put in my two cents. :)

[taz]

I was just thinking, at least Sparx and them have confidence in themselves

[SplshMtnLvr28]

I was just thinking, at least Sparx and them have confidence in themselves

yeah, they do have self confidence for not caring what others think about them. that's something i wish i had also, not caring what others think so much.

btw, whereabouts in WI are you? i'm in wi too. :p

[disneydance]

Many people in my world judge each other on what they wear I know a person whos parents are on food stamps and they dress fine and make good impressions but they also dont shop at wal mart

[DisGirlAllie]

LIZZY! Who put that stick up your butt!?!?!?!?!?

Now there's nothing wrong with people wearing their pajamas in public. Nothing wrong with it. Even some of the most successful people wear pajamas to the grocery store and places. Nothing wrong with that. Oh and what exactly makes you think you have a lot more of a look on the world? 'cause I'm just dying to know.

Get. Off. Your. Pedestal.

I? Am 16. My mother works 70-80 hours a week in a city that is 100 miles from my home. I see her on weekends. My dad is an alcoholic and a smoker. I have lost all my grand parents and great grand parents but one due to some form of cancer or heart disease. My uncle is gay and has been ex-communicated by everyone in my family but me. I am bisexual and cannot come out to my family for fear of the same happening to me. I am an aunt who will probably never see my nephew because my sister resents me because my dad divorced her mom. My brother won't even speak to me anymore. I haven't seen either of them in 7 years. I am closer to my bus driver and my history teacher than I am to anybody in my family. I self harm because sometimes it's what keeps me alive and sane. I have been suicidal. I have read over 500 books in my lifetime. I can speak at a conversational level in two languages and I understand enough of nearly 7 more to get by if I were ever in those countries. I have watched friends drink their lives away and be killed in car crashes. I've sat by unaware as a friend slips closer to death. I've been to three funerals for people under the age of 18. Two of them were the result of suicides. I can probably talk circles around you on the topics of the genocide in Darfur, the military dictatorship in Burma, the civil war in Rwanda, the nuclear energy crisis in the Middle East, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, gay marriage and equal civil liberties, illegal immigration (tell me, what's your stance on Mexicans crossing the border? I'd love to hear it), global warming, the oil crisis, the current presidential election and each major candidate, and even on the topic of Hugo Chavez and the current conflict with Venezuela. I have been sexually harrassed by people I once considered friends as well as my boyfriend. I have been cheated on and watched the boy that cheated on my have a child with his mistress. I have kept the only relationship that I thought I had a shot at succeeding in from my parents because it was with another girl. I have gone through bomb threats and gun scares. Police dog searches, lockdowns (not drills, actual lockdowns), school fires, befriending people only to have them become muderers. I have seen the dark side of people. I have seen the greed. I have been called a heathen and a stupid little girl because of my beliefs.

Do. Not. Tell me. That you have. A better view on the world than I do. Or even a better one than Shelby. Because. You're. Wrong.


Anyway.

I avoid Wal*Mart at all costs because of the fact that they get their clothes from sweat shops in China and Bangladesh and various other Asian/African/Middle Eastern/South American/Caribbean/Central American countries/cities that pay their workers as little as a penny a day. They do not subscribe to fair trade, they are in it for the fact that they're making an economic profit. I go to Wal*Mart only to print pictures because it's the only place in town with a Kodak Picture Maker.

I'd get into Thoreau's viewpoints, but my hands are cold and numb because I'm trying to conserve heat in my basement (tryin to ease the effects of global warming).

I applaud you so much for your post. Words cannot describe.

[pigletgirl]

I'm embarrassed to go. Its because I don't want to be in the same class of people that do go to Walmart.

That rubbed me the wrong way. Everyone is human and is to be treated the same, whether you make 10,000 or 100,000 dollars a year. BTW, I found a bathing suit there once, and its the ONLY one that hasn't fallen apart like the others from other places. My family has plenty of money, but we still shop there.

[Pirate Me]

I don't know about you guys...but I LOVE going out in my pajamas. :p It's so comfortable....
It's not because I don't feel like getting dressed because I would. It's for comfort.
At basketball 9AM on Saturdays [I don't go anymore though...] we used to wear our pajamas there ALL the time.

[pigletgirl]

well the people that go their, when you think about it, are mostly welfare type people.

well, I'm sorry. I am. But it is the truth. Well, at least here it is. IDK maybe at your Walmart it is different, but at mine it is just WOW.
:sad2: One day you'll appreciate walmart -- maybe when your in college?
And do you think people who are on welfare, choose to live that way? I can tell you it isn't fun, and its a huge struggle for them. Maybe be a bit more kind?

Count your blessings, because you never know what tomorrow could bring. Money isn't readily available.

I didn't go through the entire post, but what you said about the PJ's thing....I wear jammies to all of my morning classes!!! There is no way I'm going to doll myself up just to go sit in a lecture hall. People could give a rats *** as to what I'm dressed in.

As long as my hair is brushed, and I don't stink, its all good!

You're in college right, Emily?

I can't wait to start. Nothin' better than studying history in PJ's with your starbucks next to you. =)))

[::Snow_White::]

Oh and I have to comment about the excitment I have with Walmart.
We go to Walmart...and use ALOT of coupons. [My mom has been going coupon crazy lately. So she'll be going with coupons for...probably the rest of her life]
My mother saved 60 bucks last week on groceries there....
And guess where the extra money went?
WDW FUND! :DDD
Heck yes I'm going to Walmart with Coupons!

Sorry. I'm excited...about more WDW money.
Had to share. :teeth: :woohoo:

I can't wait till college either.

[Pirate Me]

I do like Wal*Mart...but it's actually really far from where I live. D: All we have is Target.

The logo has a little star in between the Wal and the Mart.

People don't usually notice.

Depends on if I decide to do starter classes in the spring. If not, then I'll start next August.

Oooh thats soon!! How exciting!!!

Ok, back to wal*mart -- good place to buy jammy bottoms!

[Pearls]

I actually went into Wal*Mart for the first time the other day.
I didn't really like it. :|
Maybe it was because I went directly from Target to Wal*Mart, but it just seemed a little dirty, and not so well kept.
Idk, maybe it's just the one near me.
I think I'm biased because I'm in love with Target, haha.

[BabyPiglet]

I think that the WalMarts around here must be really nice. I never thought of them that way, but they're well kept, nicely organized, clean and the workers are mostly nice.

[disneydance]

there are just too many reasons why i dont like wal mart aka bad service dirty long lines etc. maybe its just the one by us but i'm sorry this is what i see when i go in there

[Pearls]

I think that the WalMarts around here must be really nice. I never thought of them that way, but they're well kept, nicely organized, clean and the workers are mostly nice.

They probably are.
Wal*Mart always looked so cute in the commercials, I was so excited to go. Buuuut then it was kind of gross. I was disapointed, honestly.
But like I said, I may be a little biased because I love Target so much. :P

PS POST 1000 (:

[BabyPiglet]

I completely understand. =)

We got a new little grocery store on the other side of town and when I went in there I kept comparing everything to Wal Mart.

[Pirate Me]

I'm more on the Target side too. It's because Target is 10 minutes away and Wal*Mart is 30.

[disneydance]

I'm more on the Target side too. It's because Target is 10 minutes away and Wal*Mart is 30.

Thats simialar with us so we can go to Target easier

[Ampris]

Nah, we don't go there too often. Mom doesn't like it for politcal reasons and where they get their products, for the reasons Axel gave and because of a mistrust of many Chinese made products. (Not saying anything against China or the Chinese, but she just worries about the quality standards that the people who import their goods from there don't seem to have.) I don't like some of their policies myself, but I'd probably go there if need be.

We usually get groceries from Aldi's and other stuff here and there (Target, malls, places like that) and don't have much use for Wal*Mart. The groceries are a better price at Aldi's, for one thing. (Not at Target, though. Their prices can be crazy at times.)

[MrsPiglet]

See, I have an Aldi's near me but rarely go in. They have great prices but the food always seems to be expired, and the floor is really dirty. They have really nice produce though.

I really think it just depends on where you live.


ETA: Whoops. Mommy's accounts by accident.

[taz]

In my house to leave the house you are expected to have on something nice and something you wouldnt be afraid to see your friends in and at my house if i left the house in PJ my dad would kill me
Thats because you care to much about what people think about you. ITs just like dont judge a book by its cover :-)
The logo has a little star in between the Wal and the Mart.
=)

People don't usually notice.

Oh ours is Just Wal-Mart I thought.


Thanks though

Get. Off. Your. Pedestal.

I? Am 16. My mother works 70-80 hours a week in a city that is 100 miles from my home. I see her on weekends. My dad is an alcoholic and a smoker. I have lost all my grand parents and great grand parents but one due to some form of cancer or heart disease. My uncle is gay and has been ex-communicated by everyone in my family but me. I am bisexual and cannot come out to my family for fear of the same happening to me. I am an aunt who will probably never see my nephew because my sister resents me because my dad divorced her mom. My brother won't even speak to me anymore. I haven't seen either of them in 7 years. I am closer to my bus driver and my history teacher than I am to anybody in my family. I self harm because sometimes it's what keeps me alive and sane. I have been suicidal. I have read over 500 books in my lifetime. I can speak at a conversational level in two languages and I understand enough of nearly 7 more to get by if I were ever in those countries. I have watched friends drink their lives away and be killed in car crashes. I've sat by unaware as a friend slips closer to death. I've been to three funerals for people under the age of 18. Two of them were the result of suicides. I can probably talk circles around you on the topics of the genocide in Darfur, the military dictatorship in Burma, the civil war in Rwanda, the nuclear energy crisis in the Middle East, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, gay marriage and equal civil liberties, illegal immigration (tell me, what's your stance on Mexicans crossing the border? I'd love to hear it), global warming, the oil crisis, the current presidential election and each major candidate, and even on the topic of Hugo Chavez and the current conflict with Venezuela. I have been sexually harrassed by people I once considered friends as well as my boyfriend. I have been cheated on and watched the boy that cheated on my have a child with his mistress. I have kept the only relationship that I thought I had a shot at succeeding in from my parents because it was with another girl. I have gone through bomb threats and gun scares. Police dog searches, lockdowns (not drills, actual lockdowns), school fires, befriending people only to have them become muderers. I have seen the dark side of people. I have seen the greed. I have been called a heathen and a stupid little girl because of my beliefs.

Do. Not. Tell me. That you have. A better view on the world than I do. Or even a better one than Shelby. Because. You're. Wrong.


Anyway.

I avoid Wal*Mart at all costs because of the fact that they get their clothes from sweat shops in China and Bangladesh and various other Asian/African/Middle Eastern/South American/Caribbean/Central American countries/cities that pay their workers as little as a penny a day. They do not subscribe to fair trade, they are in it for the fact that they're making an economic profit. I go to Wal*Mart only to print pictures because it's the only place in town with a Kodak Picture Maker.

I'd get into Thoreau's viewpoints, but my hands are cold and numb because I'm trying to conserve heat in my basement (tryin to ease the effects of global warming).

I want to hug you for this post. you're my hero.

You people just don't see the world. Trust me. Even though I am 12 I can guarantee you that I have a lot more of a look on the world than you. So lets just drop this. *click*


Do you know what it's like have an INCREDIBLY rare type of cancer and almost die?
Do you know what it's like to have parents divorcing?
Do you know what it's like to have your parents ask YOU for money so they can pay the bills?
Do you know what it's like to live in the poor part of town?
Do you know what it's like to be told "We can't eat that sweetie,we don't have enough money!"?


Once you go through all this,come talk to me.
Because at one point in my life,I have faced all this.
Then tell me you've seen more than me.

I know that some of you on these boards have gone through SOO much more than I have,so please don't flame me if what I wrote above offended you.
You do not know how much admiration and compassion I have for those who have gone through MUCH worse than I have.


I am also a person who has "the balls" to wear my PJs in public.
I could care less what anyone thinks.
You don't know me,you don't know my story,what i've been through,or anything.
And honestly,if you were to come up to me and call me lazy because I didn't change in the morning,I would tell you to buzz off.

There is no way that some people have gone through more then Axel and imabrat. (and some others)

Exactly.
And I feel extremely selfish now because what I've gone through seems like a piece of cake compared to Patti and Shelby.
Sure,having cancer is hard at 14,but I've never been on welfare or had a bad home life like others have.
I can only imagine what life would be like then.

I tottally agree here our family only goes in there if my dance tights rip the day of the competition(its happened 2 times) and i needed tight immediately and the dance store is closed other than that Wal-Mary is too low class me, my friends, there parents, and my parents all made of names for Wal Mart and Target our name for Wal-Mart is Crap Mart and our name for Target is Wonderful Mart

I don't want to be regarded as anybody's hero just because I've lived through rough spots.

I hold anybody who is currently battling or who has battled cancer in high regard because it takes a lot to do that. And I like seeing people survive it because it gives me a little bit of hope. Right now my godmother's best friend (whom I consider an aunt) is battling breast cancer and a nasty strain at that. They said they had gotten it all and she went in for her breast reduction (so that her breasts would be equal) and they found more in her other breast. So she's back under chemo and everything. My actual aunt is also fighting breast cancer, but the chemo is really getting her and the fact that she's still smoking doesn't help.

Psst- my name's spelled with an 'i' at the end! I really hate to be nitpicky like that, but it's one of my pet peeves to see it with a 'y'. then I feel like I need to be tossed on a grill.

It's fine. People do it all the time because I use an uncommon spelling. I rag teachers on it all the time because they're staring at my name on my papers nearly everyday and only a few of them notice.

Thank you for your posts. You show that there are still mature people in this world. You defend your views with concrete points, not mindless judgments.

If you have a point of view to make, take a lesson from Patti, Sonya, and Shelby, and defend yourselves with real facts. Sometimes "your opinion" isn't good enough.

I don't understand how some people can make judgments about others. YOU have never been in their shoes, and untill YOU have...keep your mouth shut.

Sigh...
And yes as I stated before... I do shop at Walmart. Mainly for art supplies...their canvesas (sp?) are cheaper than Micheals' are. And yes I wear PJs in public...and I still consider myself to look presentable. I would not be "embearased" and neither should you. Heres a wake up call for everyone who worries about how complete strangers judge them...THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU. If you are happy and healthy, then who cares how you dress? :headache:

She asked what I meant by lazy.

You people just don't see the world. Trust me. Even though I am 12 I can guarantee you that I have a lot more of a look on the world than you. So lets just drop this. *click*

I seriously, seriously, seriously doubt it.
If you're saying, that your family doesn't shop at Walmart, because it's 'too low class' then YOU'RE probably living in the fantasy world. It appears that you think money is going to guarantee you happiness and everything, that everythings going to come a silver platter.
It's not. You're going to have to work to be successful.

You're twelve, you're in grade seven. You've only really seen the drama of middle school, which is the most pathetic kind of it. People don't realize much in middle school, it's an absorption of well, social life and or whatevers in (which apparently Wal-Mart isn't?). When you get older, you realize that you've got to go to school, and pay for that. Eventually, moneys not going to be so easily given to you, and you will probably shop at Walmart at some point in your life.
Even if your parents are wealthy, they aren't going to support you for the rest of your life. And once that supports gone, you've got to build your own way up, and yes, that means that you won't be 'freaking high class'.

This is getting a bit annoying.
Wal*Mart is a store.
That's it.
It's just a place where people shop.
Please, don't fight. It makes me cry. D:

[Rockstar mentality]

This is all ****ing redicoulous. I cant believe how soem people are being so judgemental about other people they dont even know. Walmart is a store. Its a place where you buy things that are required in ure house. Can we please all stop judging each other. I mean like i live in New York City. Everyone is being judged by everyone else. All its dooing is making us do drastic things. And yes theeese days going out in your pajamas is in. Not carining is "cool". I just cant take this **** anymore. Everyday i go to school i get looked at cause i wore my t shirt more then once in the past year. God Damn! ughhh!!!!!

Srry for rambling

I've also never heard of Aldis but I guess that different places have different stores.

[iluvstitch029]

The Wal Mart by me stinks! Nothing is where it should be. They always only have like 2 cash registers open. We shop at Target now, even though it is farther.

[Pirate Me]

I've been to a Wal*Mart though a while ago and most aisles had their items spilled out on to the floor. D:
Sometimes, we couldn't really get through. Especially where they had toys. It was crazy.

[BabyPiglet]

Hmm, how do I explain. It's pretty much like a discount market. They sell mostly generic items, which wouldn't bother me it's just that a lot of the things I've saw have been past or very near to their expiration date.

[CrazyChik]

We have an aldi's.
Don't know if they're the same thoough

[::Snow_White::]

My mom used to always shop at aldis when I was little.
I don't know why she doesn't now.
I think it's because some of the food is expired or something.
I don't know.
But I don't mind eating the food they have either.

You can have your opinions,that's fine.
But when you start stereotyping and generalizing something that is completely false,people will start to get offended.

I personally cannot stand Wal*Mart mostly because our's is crap. It's soooooo nasty and disgusting. I don't know how to explain it, it's just REALLY bad and gives Wal*Mart a bad name.

[Sparkle_Cherry]

I don't mean to drag this up again, but I went back to the beginning of this thread and read the things that AngelInDisguise and disneydance were saying.

I just wanted to say that this is the first time I have come on the DIS for the first time in several months, and reading what you two wrote reminded me why I left in the first place.

probably because its the only thing

I don't meant to bring this up again but:


What you said and what other people said are completly different. If the Wal*Mart by you is gross, I understand. And I'm sure someone is going to come on and say "thats why I don't like it either!" when their other posts clearly state otherwise. If you have a bad expreince at Wal*Mart, thats fine. I respect that. Other things people were saying I don't appreciate. I respect almost everyones opinions, but like others who posted, some things just push my buttons.

[Sparx]

no body is getting upset when someone says "i don't like walmart" or "my walmart is dirty"

people got offended when someone said "i'm too good to shop at walmart" and "i don't want people to think i'm on welfare" and "only welfare people go to walmart"

Exactly.

I completely understand why some people wouldn't want to go to WalMart if the one closest to them was dirty or they didn't like where the products came from. But IMO, It crosses the line when they start saying things like "I'm too good to go to WalMart" etc.

[Arielfn93]

WalMart is awesome.
I love how they have so many toys, and things,
and its a great store to go to :]

There are some that are disgusting, but every place has a store that is disgusting..
I used to live by a nasty Abercrombie..it was just..weird, and a filthy Macys, but i dont let that one experience change my opinion about the store.

[disneydance]

I'm sorry that me and Britney are horrible here and that everyone here hates us now ive just had too many bad experiences and every Wal Mart ive ever stepped into was dirty dis organized etc. lots of times nothing is in its right spot ive even been to one in South Carolina due to my dance tight ripped the day of the competition and i forgot to pack extras and the only place we knew that had them was Wal Mart and that one was dirty and dis organized i'm sorry ive seen the bad side of Wal Mart and prefer Target i'll rethink what i said and give you a answer tommorrow if ive changed my mind

[MuNkY]

I leave for a little while and look what happens! Sheesh. Lol.

I shop at Wal-Mart. I perfer Target because IMO they have a better electronics section and plus I just like the Target name better than Wal-Mart.

[Cassidy]

Can I step in, please?


Yes I may be new but I have searched around for a while. And this is the worst thread. Apparently people can't state their own opinions.

Don't take me wrong or anything but, some people here might like Walmart, some might not. Taz, I think it was rude of you to call disneydance a liar. I doubt you never met her family. So how would you know? I believe her.

So maybe some people dont like Wal-mart. Maybe the one they go to isn't as great as others. Maybe if you see the ones they go to you will know what they mean. And disneydance, your not horrible for having your own opinion. '

I'm not trying to make everyone hate me, but people have their own opinions. Deal with it.

I have my opinion. And I hate walmart. The one i go to looks like crap in a bottle. The shelves arent stacked right, and the place is as filthy as ever.

Target is better in my opinion. Its neater, and smells alot better too. I go everywhere in my Pj's. Does that make me have low class or something?

My mom goes to walmart in her pj's. I'm not embarassed, go ahead and call her lazy I don't care, and neither does she.

Appearance is NOT everything. I go to work in a T-shirt and sweats. What do you think everyone should go everywhere thinking their supposed to look like a model?

People have their own opinions.

I think im risking getting hated by posting this. But I dont care. Go ahead and HATE. Call me stupid. Call me lazy.

I think the reason she was taking a lot of heat was not because she doesn't like Wal-Mart, but because of her reasons for it. She was saying things like only people on welfare go to Wal-Mart and how she doesn't want her family to be thought of like that, and that made a lot of people angry. A large portion of this board shops at Wal-Mart, and I would bet none of them are on welfare, not to mention the fact that MANY people on welfare are NOT alcoholics. She also attacked Shelby for wearing pajamas out, and that's ridiculous IMO.

You have perfectly fine reasons for not liking Wal-Mart. It sounds like the one near you is run poorly, which is a fine reason to not care for Wal-Mart. Like I said for me, I just like other brand names better. I guess it's kind of like Chevy and Toyota. Both make good vehicles, I just perfer the gold cross better.:confused3

[BabyPiglet]

Can I step in, please?


Yes I may be new but I have searched around for a while. And this is the worst thread. Apparently people can't state their own opinions.

Don't take me wrong or anything but, some people here might like Walmart, some might not. Taz, I think it was rude of you to call disneydance a liar. I doubt you never met her family. So how would you know? I believe her.

So maybe some people dont like Wal-mart. Maybe the one they go to isn't as great as others. Maybe if you see the ones they go to you will know what they mean. And disneydance, your not horrible for having your own opinion. '

I'm not trying to make everyone hate me, but people have their own opinions. Deal with it.

I have my opinion. And I hate walmart. The one i go to looks like crap in a bottle. The shelves arent stacked right, and the place is as filthy as ever.

Target is better in my opinion. Its neater, and smells alot better too. I go everywhere in my Pj's. Does that make me have low class or something?

My mom goes to walmart in her pj's. I'm not embarassed, go ahead and call her lazy I don't care, and neither does she.

Appearance is NOT everything. I go to work in a T-shirt and sweats. What do you think everyone should go everywhere thinking their supposed to look like a model?

I completely understand why some people wouldn't want to go to WalMart if the one closest to them was dirty or they didn't like where the products came from. But IMO, It crosses the line when they start saying things like "I'm too good to go to WalMart" etc.

Cassidy, it wasn't that she didn't like WalMart, it was the blanket statements about welfare that got to me.

And don't worry, we're not all fighters. I'm sure you won't be hated, I certainly don't hate you.

[Cassidy]

I don't understand welfare.


I'm gonna be stupid by asking this, but is what she meant by welfare is that only poor people go to walmart?

[ not hating on poor people, i think its terrible people have to live like that ]

[BabyPiglet]

Welfare is government aid. It comes in different forms. Some examples are food stamps (basically you have a card (think credit card) and the government fills it with money every month that you can only use to buy groceries). There's also medicaid which is a type of free/incredibly cheap health insurance. How much aid you get is basically determined by your income and family size. It really helps people who are in a financially tough situation.

Anyways, she was saying she didn't like to go to WalMart because to her only people on welfare shopped there. She also said people on welfare got that way because they're alcoholics. Which is, of course, and awful blanket statement.

Understand?

[Cassidy]

Yes. Thank you.

And thanks for not hating on me. ;]

[Nascar48]

Please tell me you're kidding.

Haven't checked this thread in awhile. But the only store similiar to Wal MArt by me is Target.

[BabyPiglet]

Oh wow. I thought WalMart's were everywhere!

And Cassidy, no problem. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

[disneydance]

Ok i would like to say i'm sorry and hope you would understand where i'm coming from i wasnt trying to say everyone around me who shops at Wal Mart is on welfare i'm just trying to say I dont like Wal Mart and alot of low income people around me shop there and not that many upper class do i have lower income friends who shop there and i'm perfectly fine with it and even they say only lower income people shop there. My bff is low income and moved to Illinois because of that and she loves Wal Mart and when ever she talks about she gets her clothes there she goes only lower income people shop there and people like you shop at Nordstroms etc. then she says alot of things but at our Wal Mart its unclean disorganized there is bad service lines are about 30 minutes a line almost everything about it is bad i get mingranes very easily by walking in there because its so loud and it seems like people are screaming each and every way when ever we ask where anything is were always told its that way in a snobby voice and then we go that way and its not over there. We have Targets, Malls, plenty of grocerees stores closer than Walmart and so there is really no need for us to shop there. Ive even been to a Wal Mart and South Carolina and i would have to say it was worse than ours they also treat there employees like crap and have no good benefits everything there is made from China there are alot of reasons for my disliking and i really dont have a promblem if someones on welfare and shop there but the image people have of me at school would be roulnd if i were to walk into a Wal Mart since people at my school think that people who shop at Wal Mart and poor these are reasons why i'm against Wal Mart I could understand shopping there if you lived in a small town and there was nothing else then it probally would be fine to go shopping there but alot of people frown apon it where i live...

Also reading this through i can say that one of my really close friends is on wellfair and i'm not going to look at her differently and i dont want to be the horrible person on here i just have my feelings and i'm sorry i got carried away i'm sorry for being the B0$^ch on here and i hope people can forgive me btw thanks Cassidy for that message

Maybe i should just leave the boards everyone hates me here now

[Cassidy]

Nobody hates you.

They just have a different opinion. And maybe they didn't understand what you meant.

[BabyPiglet]

Maybe i should just leave the boards everyone hates me here now
Nobody hates you, I'm sure. We don't know you, and we base our opinions off of the things you say on these boards.

I'm sorry, after reading your last post the only thing I could do was shake my head.

[disneydance]

Nobody hates you.

I'm in tears now i hate that everyones mad at me i dont know what to think and i know not everyone who shops at wal mart is not on welfare i know a disser who doesnt shop at Wal Mart who is on welfair the person i was refering to was a diser

I'm not trying to make you mad

[BabyPiglet]

Yeah...I know.

[imabrat]

DisneyDance,no one is mad at you.
We are just upset that you place a stereotype on one thing.
"only low class people shop at walmart"
That may be the case in your Walmart,but not in ALL Walmarts.
Don't be ignorant and open your eyes to the rest of the world.
What you see going around you is not the same everywhere else.
Don't make harsh judgements based on what you only see.


It's like saying you've only been to the US,and automatically assuming it looks exactly the same in South Africa.
Not the case.

[Pirate Me]

Oh wow. I thought WalMart's were everywhere!

I don't have any near me either. I wish I did though because last time I went there they had everything imaginable. :laughing:

[taz]

no body is getting upset when someone says "i don't like walmart" or "my walmart is dirty"

people got offended when someone said "i'm too good to shop at walmart" and "i don't want people to think i'm on welfare" and "only welfare people go to walmart"

Can I step in, please?

I can see somebody calling it crap-mart but who calls it wonderful-Mart? There is not even mart in Targets name!

Isnt it more rude to be saying people on well-fare shop there? :confused3

[xo juicy splash]

I like WalMart.
I usually only buy Ceasar Saladas, office supplies, & candy there , though.
They have a great office supply section, and craft section.
:)
Although I prefer Target just because they sell Figi Water & Vitamin Water and they have a good make-up section. :]
And there's a StarBucks in our Target that kicks butt.

Both the stores are regually stocked up and both are really tidy. :]

[disneydance]

We do call it that and you can hate me on here and everyone can but i'm not lieing it came up when we were over at my neighbors house because she has a sign that say Wal Mart a place for cheap plastic crap and then we all started talking about how Target is nicer and how we prefer it and we couldnt figure out another name so we just decided on that i'm sorry that you cant believe what i say on here and if you dont you are just going to have to deal with it

aww, Katie don't cry. no one hates you, you just have a different opinion then other people and that's ok cause everyone has their own opinions.

[Lizbon]

Everyone has different opinions. We don't hate you Katie, and we don't hate Brittany. We think what you guys said was uncalled for and even though I don't agree, I respect that it is your opinion. I also respect that you stood up for Brittany when everyone attacked her. But most of all, I respect that you continued to post on here, defending yourself and you took into consideration what everyone said. I may not agree with you, but I am not going to treat you like dirt for the rest of the "Teen Board life". I posted before, so I am not going to state my opinions again but, I don't hate you.

-Liz

[Pirate Me]

Yes. Everyone has different opinions.
You can say "I don't like this store" but it's completely different when you say "This store is for poor people that's why I don't like it"

[kaysiefacey]

i went to walmart yesterday.
i got my new mp3 phone there (:

[imabrat]

Well,right now,I'm mad at Walmart.
At least my local one.

They were unwilling to price match with Target (I think,either Target or Staples) for a digital camera.
Same exact Kodak 8.0MP camera,at Target (or Staples) for 89$ but soldout,and at Walmart for 150$ but in stock.
Grr.

Or my mommy could be lying,and she really did get me that camera from Target.
I'd hope that's not the case though.
:(

[KidGoofy]

I like Target better because I only go by the CDs and movies and I also eat there because we have a pizza hut(greatest place in the world). Walmart is kind of nasty to me. IDK why I just think its nasty.

[Pirate Me]

^Our Target has an awesome CD collection.

[disneychick2721]

I personally love wal-mart.

I like to skip threw the aisles :)

I like getting my pictures developed there.
I like buying fabric there.
I like getting hair care products there.
I like getting makeup.
I like looking at the DVDs & Cd's and such.

Im just trying to figure out why she had to drag other peoples income into this. I said i hate walmart in this thread and a couple of others, and i did it without dragging peoples income into it.

[crazytp93]

Walmart is a PROUD sponsor of Disney Channel. Just wanted to let you know.

Well because thats what we see Wal Mart as in moments a place for lower income people to buy food I'm sorry but that has been my vision for years I'm not going to lie to you all and I truly do see Wal Mart as that i think it partially has to do with my parents comments but i'm sorry that i'm telling the truth of what I think

[Rockstar mentality]

I was born as a very fortunate child. private school all my life and I live in nyc. I was raised that everyone is equal no matter what they have. U shouldn't be that snobby about a store. I can even partialy understand u saying that it was a place for people with less money 2 shop cause yeah I can see where ure coming from but u really shouldn't narrow out people for where they shop. Then u said that all people on welfare where alacholics. There u crossed the line. First off u can't saay that one whole group of people are alacholics. That's generalizing which is completly wrong. And second of alacholism is a serious problem. Many people die every year from it and its a serious problem. Personaly I hate walmart. Its destroying our economy here in america but NEVER would I generalize that all the people in the store were people on welfare. I mean how can u tell what a peron on welfare looks like. There's no way 2 tell and u wanna know why, cause there normal human beings just like all of us.

Well actually you were being kind of a snob. Calling someone a liar is not nice either.

Don't try to make her upset. You've never her family. I believe she is telling the truth.

My goodness.


And disneydance, nobody hates you.They have NEVER met your family. Being crap head jerks won't get them anywhere. Just ignore them.

Apparently you didnt see what she said earlier in this thread.



Anyway I thought that disccussion was over.

[disneychick2721]

Okay Katie and Austin,
You are both entitled to your opinion and no one can take that away from you.

Katie, you may hate wal*mart but you shouldn't say, ("Well because that's what we see Wal Mart as in moments a place for lower income people to buy food"). Many people shop there including myself, and you should not downsize people for where they shop. So, you think everyone who shops at wal*mart is low class, I take offense to that, but Im not going to hate you for it ?

Austin, I think you said you also dislike wal*mart, okay, also your opinion. But you can not argue with her beliefs. She has always seen wal*mart that way, which might be right or wrong. But you or I or anyone cant change how she feels.

Oh and another thing, Cassidy ? Calling people craphead jerks ? That is beyond disrespectful. I know your new, so Im not going to hate you or anything but still thats just rude.

So Lets just drop it, okay ?
