I don't have the patience to shop in stores that cover more than an acre of space. I don't mind shopping big places (local is better, but not always possible or practical) - I go to warehouse clubs and do shopping for the week. After a few trips I figure out where everything is and can get in & and out - I walk fast or use the cart as a skate board, sorta. Not sure how big the places are in terms of acreage, but they are big. The main problem is the checkout line, but that is solvable by timing. (example: don't go on Sundays after church lets out :-) )

The Walmart demographic. Judging from the small sample here, it seems obvious there's a strong correlation between Walmart shoppers and Drumpf supporters. That explains a lot, in a way I hadn't really thought about before. The yearning masses continue to believe that the trickles will eventually get down to them. The part I can't understand is how those in the Walmart demographic can bring themselves to believe a billionaire will ever act in their best interests. They don't have to look any further than Walmart itself to see how billionaires treat their workers. Knowing how Walmart treats its employees is a big part of the reason I won't shop there. That, and knowing where they source their products and how they treat their suppliers. It's easy to make fun of Walmart customers, but that's not really the point. I suspect some of the fear you see in us, the non-Walmart demographic, is the fear that we, too, might end up shopping, or even worse, working at Walmart before Drumpf is done with us. We (or at least I am) are sorry you have to shop at Walmart. We hope you never have to work there. And we don't want Drumpf to do that to us, either.
