Amos: the Wal-Mart you describe is not at all like the one I shop at. I suppose it is that crowded at times, but I don't recall seeing the conditions you regularly find yourself in at yours. Anyway, you live in San Diego don't you? You must have lots of options over there just as we do in Phoenix. I think many of the criticizms made here about putting little stores out of business applies less to cities than it does smaller towns. Or maybe one is less aware of it in cities. So many stores, so many choices.
