Personally, I love Walmart, great prices and great service. I'm asking this, because apparently they're the largest company in the world. Just curious if any routerforums.com users shop there.

By the way, yes means that you shop there regularly.

From what I hear Walmart in not very friendly to thie employees.

**Mark** · 11-20-2004, 01:09 PM

My friend works at Walmart, he thinks it pretty good. He just dosen't like what he's assigned to do. Which is, cleaning the washrooms and bringing in carts, but I guess you have to start somewhere ( He's a new employee ).

We shop there weekly. Our dogs love us for it. Thats where their food comes from. Plus I get distilled water there. Hey Kevin, Sam Walton is looking for you, he says it's "Wal-Mart".

Lol
