I used to go to Lord & Taylor’s elegant stores in NYC, I had to look it up, but it was founded in Manhattan in 1826 - 192 years ago.

There used to be a time that “department stores” were very nice, and were decorated beautifully.

As to Walmart, I’m in Los Angeles my whole life [70 years] - and I’ve never shopped at a Walmart ... and never even seen one. I heard of one here but it was in a very bad part of town, I never had a desire to visit.

My Walmart is okay. Had to stop in one this past weekend on the way to my uncles. He lives in a now predominantly minority (majority? See I’m confused about that now) area and the store was crowded to the max with jockeying for room up and down the aisles, darting around the little ones some of which are allowed to wander aimlessly. Not a nice experience, see I am used to doing my shopping at night. I like to avoid crowds. It’s faster and easier.

Don’t bather, Wal Mart is garbage.

Wow. You people really do live in another country.
