Clay Aiken is gay. (I wasn't sure if you were agreeing w/ me or disagreeing so I said something random.)

I stopped going to Walmart because I thought the people there looked kind of trashy, but the article is even more of a reason why I won't shop there. I always knew something was strange about that company and those people.
ETA: I also heard that they're not very nice to their employees either.

Neither, really - the whole thing seems very American (in both a good and a bad way, honestly) to me, to the point of inevitability. Kind of like hog lots, illegal alien labor, pharmaceutical recalls, patent infringement, outsourcing, etc.

I hate Wal-Mart. The only time I would shop at Wal-Mart is for electronics.

You mean trashy like judging people who work at/shop at Walmart based on their appearance?

No, I'm not judging them, it's just that I don't like being around that type of crowd. That's all.

Oh, I completely understand. You're not judging them, you've just formed an opinion on them and are making assumptions based on that prior opinion.
That's not judging at all....

I heard that Wal Mart employees put gel in their hair and wear jorts.

At least have the courage to admit you're being judgmental when you are! I'll give my own perspective for example:
I personally don't shop at Wal-Mart, partially because I don't care for the quality and manufacturing of their products, partially because I dislike the corporate policies, and partially because I am a snob and don't like the crowd. I'm not a bargain shopper, I don't have kids, I usually dress up a bit to go to the store. I am turning my nose up at the shoppers and I know it. I am ok with that. Yes, I am definitely being judgmental about the other shoppers. It simply makes me happier to spend my money elsewhere, both because I like the stuff I get better, and because I like being in the presence my shopping peers better.

I will shop at Wal-Mart for certain things if the price point is what is most important to me. However, it usually is not and if I am going to buy something, I prefer quality/style. My background includes both Marketing Research and Retail Management, so I consider myself a "tough" customer.
I do not like shopping at Wal-Mart for most of the reasons already mentioned. While I consider myself a Republican, I think that Wal-Mart is being totally ludicrous in warning about a Democratic win. America is supposed to be based on democratic principles, and this just undermines the whole meaning of democracy. If Obama wins, then it was meant to be.
