I have little personal experience with Walmart. Like I said, they don't exist in my home territory. The first time I was in one was only a couple of years ago. My elderly father and his cohort shopped there after they opened one near him. The people there seemed on the poor side to me although I have been in one in Northern Virginia where there were lots of nice cars. I don't much like them, not for me. I find them dreary and inefficient. But I'm not much of a shopper so I'm not very cost conscious. If I purchased carts full of stuff I might sing a different tune. I do commend Walmart, though, on providing a comprehensive and reasonably priced venue for their clientele. It's a wonderful facility for the oldsters who go in their retirement-home buses. Is it possible that urban areas could benefit just as much as rural areas from Walmarts opening clinics? I think the clinics in more urban areas would be useful, too, to working moms with hectic lives. Just not as necessary as there are more alternatives in the city. There's a Target near me. It's a much more attractive store to shop.
