they don't chop the CD's to suit them, and they offer better cheap clothes...

Sam's Club rocks however.
Sams and Walmart are joined as one. IDK about your Walmarts, but our's carry Sam's products. They're are bothe within a mile of each other.

I gotta vote Walmart. We have like 3 within 10 minutes from where I live(one they JUST built at the mall). They have everything I need(except for an RB or SR motor damn them!) at cheap prices. Target would be next choice. And we don't have a meijer or Wally world in Southern California...

Target is actually a really great company. Treat their employees right so they in turn are nice to the "guests". Kind of funny how lots of folks leave Wal-Mart and head to Target for work...at all levels. I don't want to work for them forever, but I will prob. always shop there now.

And it seems to draw hot ladies like no other. Combined with living in a college town and being a college student, Target is a good place to spend time rubber necking

Being my hotel shut-down cuz of the dam hurricanes I had to resort to working at K-MART. 2 of my friends have been working there for a year. We call a code 6 everytime a milf, etc walks in. I'm in electronics so it's fun to mess with everything and crank systems up. Also to hide something I want and then "discover" it when it goes on clearance. The reason that K-MART ius organized is the dam customers. I organized 2000CD's in perfect order. By tonight at closing 50 were sold and only about 200 were at their correct place on the shelf. People love to make us work.

I'll agree with that.... The quality of customer has a lot to do with how they treat things..

The thing with sams club is you have to be a member.. You have like a card and stuff, and pay a yearly premium. my aunt has one because she buys candy from them during the summer, as part of their business....

Target has some good stuff, but not a great selection of anything.

Kmart has some good deals on clothes and such with an "OK" selection of other stuff. limited foods and relatively no checkout staff.

WalMart is the same as Meijer, but with some lower prices. Unfortunately, the hicks ruin it to the point I don't go at all anymore. People need to wash their clothes more often, tend to their kids, and not let their overweight teenage daughters run around in bloated hip huggers and short shirts showing their flab hanging all over.
So agreed... Seems worse at walmart than meijer though, at least around here...... I might disagree with you that meijer has lower prices... Most times they are very close. Walmart and meijer are like 2 miles apart, so I can choose one, check something out and goto the next.. I would say that sometimes walmart is cheaper, sometimes meijer is, thus overall making it a wash.....

I'm aware of Sams and walmart being sister companies Jeffman, it's just all the dumb stuff you can find at Sam's that I find amusing...

Bud's Discount City rocked too, they had all the broken stuff that still might kinda work that wal mart got rid of....I got a bunch of 5 dollar Gameboy Pockets there when they came out and sold them at 20 a pop in high school...

Well guys I work at target so I must say we are just a better store in general. walmart has better all around prices for things but when our items go on clearance our prices won't be beat anywhere. try buying holiday stuff after the holiday.ex bags of candy for 40cents.

Actually, I would like to change my vote. I'll go to BigLots before I go to any of those other stores. I have found sooo many greeat deals there.

I wish they would bring them to Wisconsin.

Target rules, hands-down. It's reasonably cheap, but good quality--and definitely not a place you'd be embarassed to be seen shopping in. I go to the Kmart near my house to pick up supplies, and my biggest qualm with them is that they never order stuff, shelves are always empty, etc.

Shopko is great! They had them when I lived in Washington. Good prices, selection is halfass but the store is clean and non-weird.

Usually just go to Dominick's (Safeway) or the gas station for snacks and since they're closest. If I need something I can't find there, I go to Wal-Mart and Sam's Club for groceries. Sometimes I go to Target, only been to Meijer's when I went to UIUC visiting friends, there aren't any K-Marts left around here. I've never been to a Costco(?) but my friend tells me how amazing the prices are. For hot college chicks and MILFs, best place is IKEA in early to mid August.

There's a target a block away from me, but they close at 9:00pm!!! Walmart is open 24/7. And since I work graves, I do a lot of 3am saturday night shopping. Plus, from comparison/laziness I have determined that at least in my area, Walmart has Target's prices beat like a Civic by a Z.

Running shorts, Jesda you run? j/k I gotta say meijer, only because One of them is close enough to Grabil/Harlan (2 highly Amish communities) that they have hitchin posts and sheds for their horses and buggies. Nothin better than messin with the horses when you were in high school. Also Amish Pu$$y = hot
