    yep, I still shop there, but don't like it - friend of mine had 2 or 3
    oil drain plugs stripped out by goons at w-mart oil changes. They won't
    ever touch a vehicle of mine! BTW, I put 13" radial car tires on my
    boat trailer when I needed tires, same load rating, and cheaper than
    trailer tires! I have seen some talk of car tires being more sway-prone
    on a trailer, but with my rig, it has not been noticable. Truck weighs
    7K and boat 2K - It could probably turn upside down and I wouldn't
    notice it till I looked in the mirrors. You know you fish alot when your
    boat trailer tires look like peeled onions! Think most trailer tires die
    of old age with good tread depth, but not mine! The radials do seem
    to run smoother, think they are made better than most of the bias-ply
    trailer tires. Figure it helps minutely with mileage too.

    I don't know if it has anything to do with it but Wally World had really gone to hell since Sam died.

    Noticed that too, not near as easy to get satisfaction anymore if
    something breaks or is defective - used to, it was no problem.
    I am just waiting for this: Wal-mart to put in a womens birthing center
    in one end, and a funeral parlor in the other - they already got gas and
    eats, putting a terrible hurt on the grocery stores 'round here. Before
    long, you won't get paid in U.S. currency anymore, just Wal-Mart
    credits. Get a micro-chip implanted in your hand, and swipe it over the
    register - number of the beast, end days, and all that jazz - Arggh!
    Wal-mart the Anti-christ???? Ok, folks, just joking a little with that,
    but they are taking over. Wal-Mart secretly owned by the Chinese military?
    I didn't say that, they'll put a hit on me now

    J White,, I don't doubt a word you just said. Walmart has grown into a mega monster, Multi- zillion $ Industry. We shop there for all our need's though,
    I have'nt taken anything back major in a while, but everything i take back they make good even down to spoiled food. So I guess I'll still shop there.

    I have only bought something at WM 2 times since 01/01/2005. That was my New Years resolution. And so far I have stuck to it. With the 2 trips I bought groceries once because my girlfriend forced me to and I bought a CD because I was there with her. I have found that after going into the place shopping we are usually pi$$ed off at each other when we leave. I think because of the large store and the idea WM has for everyone to buy stuff they don't need while there to get other items. My girlfriend has finally realized that we are indeed in ill moods after walking out, so now she doesn't want to shop there. I would never allow them to get near my truck or boat. Wal Mart has enough money that they can hire inexperienced and inept people to do maintenence and installations of items that could affect your safety and not worry about the consequences because if it hurts or kills you or damages your stuff, they can just pay you off. Well that don't sound so good if you're dead.
    Ya ain't holdin' your mouth right.

    The reason Wally World is so popular is because of their low prices. They are low because of their business practices. A town just south of where I am, voted down letting a Wall-Mart build there, along with a Pork Plant. They didn't want the extra traffic and people in their little jerk water town. They said if they let the 2 commercial businesses in there they would have to improve the Schools and Fire and Police depts, and would have a bunch of new houses being built all over the place. They just want to keep their small town atmosphere. The corker is they have been complaining for sometime that their taxes are to high. The WM here pays over a Million Dollars a year in taxes, each. That would go a long way in reducing taxes I would think.
    As long as people will trade low prices for merchandise, as to quality of labor issues. Wal-Mart will continue their practices.

    I cant complain about Wal-Mart too much. I bought a set of tires there and on my way home, someone threw a beer bottle out their window and it blowed my new tire all to pieces. Wal-<art replaced it no questions asked. Also I bought some steaks to grille out one night and when I got them home they were spoiled. I took them back and they gave me twice my money back. said they had 200% gaurantee on meat. I got some new steaks and money to boot. Only problem I ever had was trying to return a broken fishing pole "if you can believe that" They wouldn't take it back for me, I tried three different times. Got a female to take it back and they replaced it.
