    I have mixed feelings about Walmart, they can have good prices on things. It's a one stop shopping for almost anything you need. It's sad the big box stores have driven smaller mom and pop stores out of business. Being retired, we do a lot of road trips with our rv, and most Walmarts allow overnight stops in their parking lots. On the downside of this they take away business from local rv parks. Other stores/restaurants in turn locate near them to cash in on their customer base, another benefit for over nighters that want a bite to eat.

    WIWAK, we phoned in the orders from the catalog. It was a big trip when we headed into Wichita and stopped at an actual store.

    The walmart that we have locally (kinda!) has a bunch of jack wagons working at it. We avoid it.
