Unless your only choices in town are Kroger and Walmart, then you see everyone in town at Walmart or drive a half hour to get to a real store. 
Sometimes I really miss Pittsburgh.

You live in MN and are shopping at Walmart instead of the beautiful pretty Targets on every other street corner?
Edit: My family used to use Schwan's a lot until we found out how heavily involved they are with a religion that doesn't like our kind. We'll still cave and get French Toast Sticks every once in a while but I always feel guilty eating them.

It's not like a shop at Walmart.  I mean, I needed toothpaste and Walmart just happened to be there, so I went in. I don't shop at Target either. To me they're both places I would go only to buy small things like toothpaste, deodorant ect. Stuff like that. Plus, I think the people there look pretty trashy, so of course I wouldn't be around people like that very long. Hey, a girl has to keep her pearly whites white. Thanks Walmart.

You'd take Wallyworld over Target because the people at Target are trashy...then what are the people at Walmart, pray tell?

grrr. walmart. 
last year i went on what i thought would be an empty Wednesday afternoon. i had neglected to remember that it was also the first of the month, so everyone within a 44 mile radius was there.
i got into the back of a line that had 14 people in it. i know this because i counted, and couldnt believe with 28 checkouts, there were 4 open. i waited so long, that half my frozen stuff, which i always get last, was near thawed. at the register, with a new 14 people in line behind me now, the girl smacks her gum, rolls her eyes, and slams down a "register closed" sign. "this lane is closed", she said with a bit more attitude than i liked. she never told the person in front of me that they were last (i always respect that.) she then proceeds to complain as loud as she can about how she hadnt taken her break (like i cared) and needed someone to count her drawer out. everyone in line behind me was simply amazed at the rudeness, so i turned around and said (very loudly) I'M LEAVING! AND IM LEAVING MY STUFF RIGHT HERE TOO! i left probably close to $150 in groceries right there, grabbed my purse and my kid, and about 7 other people did the same thing! i found a manager, told him what happened, and promptly left. i also made sure to tell him i would not shop at that location again, and now i use Kroger. i had a sick sense of satisfaction when i saw those 7 stuffed baskets in the middle of the main aisle with no people attached!
the moral of this story is: i will pay more for better service. dont you forget it...i also heard that cashier got fired. im not proud but it should serve as a lesson well learned.

OneTimeSBX hit on my peeve: when there are over 20 checkstands, but only 2 or 3 are manned. I can understand this if it's like 3am, but there's a store near where I used to work that was consistently staffed like this at prime shopping times. Of course each stand had a line going well down the aisles!

Yes. Yes I am. I thrive on picking on poor GC souls who make stupid comments & then whine about why they are getting picked on.

I just don't like to associate myself with really low class people, and if you think I'm an idiot for that, then right back atcha!
