>> Are Walmarts as bad as the old Kmarts?

No. Nothing like that.

Walmarts are totally organized, laid out pretty consistently for same-size stores, clean, and convenient. That's how they got to be the biggest retailer in the world.

Their inventory control system is totally automated, meaning stockouts are rare to nonexistent, and stores are stocked based on the merchandise that store moves. Considering the sheer number of different skus stocked by WMT, they're absolutely amazing accomplishments.

While checkout lines can be long for buying groceries during peak hours, their service is impeccable. Employees are well-trained -- though you often encounter lazy employees -- they're not all like that.

Best retailer in existence anywhere.
