    Re: I am tired of buying shotty merchandise from walmart

    I have not regretted any purchase from wal-mart, in fact I've often been way more than impressed with things i bought assuming they would be ridiculously cheaply made (because they were ridiculously cheaply priced).

    Notably: $30 for a salmon rod/reel/17lb monofilament line. I just needed a beater rod while I was visiting the parents. I regularly fish with pretty expensive gear back home because pretty often cheap reels will break down with very little use.

    The rod was nothing special, you can make a beefy rod capable of landing big fish for very little money. However, the fact of the matter was that with the very little fishing I have done up there the past two seasons, I have been able to put over 100lbs (estimate) of filleted meat in my parents' freezer with a freaking cheap wal-mart rod and reel. These are late season fresh pacific run silver salmon and even a nice ~30lb king was landed on that rod and reel, they do put a bit of strain on your equipment over time. I'm surprised that it's held up this long, so for $30 of fishing equipment investment I'm very happy.

    Re: I am tired of buying shotty merchandise from walmart

    I don't ever recall getting anything that had to be returned to wal-mart aside from my own personal preference or manufacturing issues and I've bought A LOT of electronics from them.

    Obviously I can't hold them accountable for my own likes and dislikes nor can I hold them accountable for a piece of equipment that doesn't work properly. I just return and get a new one and life goes on. Now if they manufactured the stuff that doesn't work that would be a different story.

    I have pythons so why would I be afraid of a bad little python?

    Careful or I might take you to walmart and make you stand there and actually be nice to the door greeter.. Better yet, I may just tell them you have a compulsive habit of cooking aluminum foil in your microwaves...

    Re: I am tired of buying shotty merchandise from walmart

    I work at wal-mart :-( I don't like the direction they are going in. It seems like when I first started there, there were plenty of employees and the work was evenly distributed. A few months later a few people were transferred out, someone quite, a couple of them went on medical leave and then it was just me doing most of the work. They knew they were shorthanded, they still are, but are now on a "hiring freeze". I find this funny, considering the sales are up. Basically they are cutting hours and letting people go but not hiring more people. If you can do math, it doesn't make any sense. I hate working there, but where I live there is not really anywhere else to go :-(

    I buy mainly DVDs there and CDs that don't have harsh language because they only sell edited ones.

    Other than that I get my automotive maintenance stuff there because it's cheaper there than it was buying from Kragen with a company discount when I worked at a tire shop.

    If the Walmart by my house wasn't 24 hours, I probably would go there a lot less.

    Spend your money where you want. It's yours to do what you want. But if there's ever an occasion that you can't spend it all, I can send you my address, mail it to me. I'll spend it for ya!

    See how good of a friend you have in Jim?
