As a truck driver I must admit that WalMart is good to me. Instead of having to unload a trailer, I drop the loaded trailer in the lot at their Distribution Centers, get an empty, and are on my way within 30 minutes. My unproductive time is reduced to a minimum, and WalMart will accept the loaded trailer as quickly as I can get it there.

However, there are two things that I hate about WalMart --

1): I remember back in "the old days", when if there were more than three people standing in line at a cash register, they'd open up another line. Nowdays... fuhgeddaboudit.

2): Also, back in "the old days", you'd walk into a WalMart, and there'd be a poster of 40-some employees of a manufacturing plant stand around one of their products - say for example, a toaster oven. The text would explain how WalMart is having their toaster ovens made at this plant in, say... Hays, Kansas, and even though it costs a little more money, it keeps vital manufacturing jobs here in America and keeps our country strong. Nowdays... WalMart ought to change their name to "Pier One Imports" and be done with it.
