The only difference I see is that everything is moved around and difficult to find.......so far they haven't touched the pet food or hardware if they do then I'll find somewhere else to shop.

I used to love Wal-Mart. BUT....ours switched to a supercenter a couple years ago and they went from a great department store to a not even mediocre department and a crummy food store combo. I only shop there now when everything else is closed. Too bad.

You are so right they change everything around so you cant find it and then think you will buy more since you willl have to wade through it. And there are also very few places to buy toys in my area either. Walmart was the place to go to find anything. so all it will be hurting are the kids... go figure may be bad mistake who do you think gets the parents to buy all of them .... your loss

I hope they get rid of all the people who can't speak ENGLISH.

Wal Mart forced all mom and pop businesses out with cheap low priced crap. They buy in such a lerge volume (much cheaper price), so they undercut the American private owned stores.
Also they have nothing UNIQUE......

That's just it! Walmart squeezed out the competition so there's no reason to compete! No they set the market for whatever they want to sell not what you used to buy beforethey pulled it!

I hope they get rid of all the scummy people, no matter what color or nationality. Thank God I can afford to shop in nicer establishments!

Walmart has been doing this for years. It is only when it directily affects a consumer do they realize what has been lost by shopping at WalMart. Freedom is a choice not a price tag.

Don't blame Wal-Mart. People spend their money - Wal-Mart doesn't make them spend it there. If people quit complaining about Wal-Mart (while shopping there) and spent their money in the other stores - Wal-Mart wouldn't have made those profit. Wal-Mart didn't run the small business out - people did this on their own by not shopping at the smaller places. we blame Wal-Mart for using the same business tactics as Honda, etc - yet we drive around in foreign cars but blame Ford and GM. Wake up America!

walmart lost us for christmas shopping when they did away with lay-a-way now we do that at k-mart ..
I noticed walmart has been getting rid of alot of the things we usually go there for and stocking the shelves with some of the same products that are on different aisles so it "looks"full..
Target is ok but it has an empty feel to it not alot of choice .
I like to have a choice in what I get I hate having to get something becuase its the only thing there or having to drive to 3 or 4 different stores to find something..

We have a "High Efficiency" Walmart near us, and OMG! They shouldnt even call it a Walmart. It looks nothing like a Wamart on the outside or in. Aisle are huge, and guess what? They dont dump crap in them! That was one of my biggest issues with walmart. Its bad enough inconsiderate shoppers toss things on the floor, but the main aisles, where 4 shopping carts could move side by side, was always cluttered with "roll back" junk that could already be found elsewhere in the store. This made the aisles only big enough for two carts. And since, "OMG, its a rollback!" people would park their carts in the main aisle, making it very difficult to maneuver, and even some times blocking the entire main aisle!!!

Now the High Efficiency Walmart seems to have a smaller toy section than normal Walmarts, but what Ive noticed, with all their aisle crap, everything they blocked aisles with was always on the shelves. Even during the holidays, when half of the garden area is dedicated to toys, every item there could easily be found elsewhere in the store.

I dont think this is about fewer toys, fewer Disney Princess merchandise. I think this is about fewer Disney Princess Beauty and the Beast purple limited edition plastic tea cut sets.

Rock Band (which was found near registers as well as in electronics) is NOT an impulse item... ..and if it is, then no wonder the economy is messed up... ...layaway, credit cards, etc... ...There are only certain things I can see people getting who dont have the money. Home loan, student loan, maybe even a car loan, and unexpected medical expenses. Oh, and becoming pregnant isnt an "unexpected medical expense." Funeral, maybe.

If you cant afford these "gifts" for your love ones, they need to understand why. If they cant accept that fact than you dont want anything to do with them, since obviously the relationship was based solely on money. And if these are children, then you need to set them down and teach them the value of a dollar. "Dont have the money" is much better than having them think "Mommy doesnt love us, thats why."

Then we would have nothing to complain about. Life would be great. But unfortunately, we have both. Bush may be out of office, but his effects will live on for a long long painful time.....
