As for those who make fun of the people at Wallyworld, newsflash: THE JOKES ON YOU!!! The very fact that you would admit to shopping there if you so hate the "help" or expect anything more than what you pay for (service is in direct proportion to what you pay for) speaks volumes of your "sensibilities".
That's the thing. We can help ourselves. Frankly, I want salepeople and cashiers to leave me alone and not say a word. I'm there to buy things, not have a good time or make friends. That's why the low prices are worth dealing with the ignorance of the clerks. The guys at the local gun shop are very helpful and know what they're talking about. Except they charge up to 25% more than Wal-Mart does for ammo and such other items. I want the most return for my financial investment.
