Around here,the avg walmart employee makes a point to studiously avoid actually ASSISTING any customers.Only way to get any help is to light up a cig or a joint.Within a minute or two you'll have at least 3 associates in your face telling you to put out your smoke.But if you need help with anything you won't find anyone within a 1000 feet of you.Wal-mart serves it's purpose,(mainly saving me a few $ on things I already know everything I need to know about)If I have questions about a purchase, I simply go to a REAL store with people who not only KNOW about what they are selling,but will actually ASSIST a customer when needed.Walmart is STRICTLY a self-service type of store.Their employees seldom know diddly squat about anything they stock and you couldn't find 1 even if they DID have the answer to your question.
and before anyone makes any smart remarks,I worked for Wal-mart as an inventory taker for 4 years as well as working as a local store associate for a year.I've been inside at least 100 supercenters across TX and LA time and time again in that work, and the AVG employee is about as smart as a box of rocks.so the dolphins win hands down!
