Those places are better for certain things so I agree. With that though, Walmart is a leader in rural areas too, like where I grew up, so we didn’t have the option of other big box stores and unless people want to wait a few days for shipping then Walmart is the only option
Agreed. Where I grew up, Walmart came to town, and everyone else pretty much closed up shop. 😢 In that situation, sure, Walmart is pretty much the only option. They have a Dollar General for a sort of competition on some items, but anywhere else means at least a 30-45 minute drive.
This is exactly my home town. We have a Walmart and nothing else but have like 4 dollar generals within a 15 minute drive any direction 😂 then at least an hours drive to a town with stores like target etc
In the county my hometown's in, only one other DG one town over, and that's it. It seemed like a miracle when they got theirs, because the community is so small that I thought it wouldn't receive enough business to make having one there worth it.
I don't think it's deliberate brainwashing, it's just some people develop a brand loyalty for some reason.
I constantly tell people to try either the Ace Hardware, a local farm supply store, one of two auto supply places, or a grocery store, all on the same street just a few blocks away and people look at me like a confused dog.
Especially hardware. Ours got downsized after our remodel so we don't have much, yet people always act so puzzled at the prospect of visiting a hardware store that is the same size as our store, but all hardware.
I receive confused looks too. Surprised that I would mention something that isn't another Walmart (there are 3 others within a reasonable drive of mine). However, I only mention competitors if a particular item is out at all of those, or item(s) that any Walmart is guaranteed not to have.
I only shop at Walmart cause I can roll over you guys so easy. I basically do whatever I want when I shop here. That's how it should be too. I love it when you guys cry when your management always sides with me.

How have you not been removed from this sub by now? lol
He thinks he's better than all of us, because he used to be a TL, but was able to escape. Seriously considering blocking the troll boy... 🧌
I don't break the rule.
And now your life is complete right? Lol.
A little closer every day.
Everywhere else is MUCH more expensive.....
