The walmart we had in our college town wasn't too bad, but then again, it couldn't be... it was the only store of it's ilk for about 20 miles. And it was mostly college students, so you didn't have (much of) the WT.

Now that I live in Milwaukee, however, it is a whole new ballgame. Target is the only "mega-store" I can go into without wanting to attack everyone with a knitting needle. Walmart is slow, slow, slow and messy... and don't even get me started on K-Mart. This is really disgusting, but... the place always smells like urine. I've ventured in there twice, only out of extreme necessity... and both times I've had to leave within moments because I just couldn't take it. The smell... the bratty kids who run over your feet with a shopping cart (hope I don't see you in the parking lot, kiddo...) and the screaming, oh lord, the screaming.

In comparison with all that, Target is a nice, happy quiet place, with nice, happy bright colours...aah....
