1. I don't grocery shop at Walmart, the produce isn't fresh, the meat doesn't look good and the prices are no better than Your Independent grocery stores.
2. I have never seen people like the people of Walmart in real life anywhere. Not only not at Walmart, not anywhere. I don't think they exist in Canada.

Considering most of those pictures have people with thin, or very little clothing on...... I'm guessing it might just be to cold up there.

How is she stereotyping? Is it stereotyping to say most French people speak French? ... Or that most people who work in an office dress more professionally than SAHM...?

Is there a way the purchaser can check the card value? Like at the service desk?
I got restaurant cards. I was nervous putting them in the envelopes so I got the right card to the right couple. I was also nervous about mailing them and theft there. I kept the in town cards in my purse, disguised. H has a tendency to take the gift intended for someone else.
A gift card tragedy. A club I'm in has a raffle each year for charity. I knew the organizer and she is very trust worthy. There was a lot of high dollar gift cards donated. When things were being set up, the gift cards disappeared. I know of two culprits who were helping out. I said not a word. My friend had to replace all of those cards at her expense.
Now, if I give a gift card to that organization, I put the folder there with a note to see me. If I'm quick enough, I can just go hand it to them.

Walmart has been very good to my DIL. She has 25 years in. She's a saint working holidays and over nights at times.

It's not a 'fact" it's your freaking opinion. There are a lot of well dressed AMERICAN women.

I am just curious as to why certain stereotypes are OK and others are not? Maybe you can answer that. You seem to get mad if someone posts something claiming "all" do such and such.

The attacks on Walmart are that the great unwashed dont' deserve low prices and the elite dont' want to see them with "stuff". No, I don't want to see their floppy bellies, ass cracks and muffin tops. How would you handle this situation in your office with a potential new client, who plops down a $2,000 retainer?

I don't shop for food at Walmart. Some of the best prices are at Kroger which is a union store or I guess it still is.
I'm going to try the new Thyme Fresh Food Market, may be expensive though.
In summer we can buy all kinds of produce local and I also raise it. Kroger is not cheap, but with their rewards card you can find some good deals. Fresh Thyme is sort of Whole Foods. You need a Republican wallet to shop there. You will not find pajama shoppers and butt crackers at either location. Well maybe at Kroger.

Yeah, I had an issue with a gift card like that before. It's a scam on the part of the cashiers, they pocket the gift card and give you an unactivated one. It sucks, but it happens. That's why I always give the receipt with the gift card. It's kind of tacky to give receipts with gifts, but I think it's warranted in this case.

Sorry if this has already been said, but I don't have time to read through the 4 or 5 last pages of this thread, but have you seen the previews for a new TV sitcom that's starting tonight, I believe? It's called "Superstore" and is supposed to be a comedy about working at a "large retail / big box / megastore" and it's pretty obvious by the previews which one they are referencing. I'm planning on watching the first episode. Hope it's good.

Well, so far people are knocking their poor Democrats who dress poorly at wal mart, so obviously it takes a Republican wallet to shop the gourmet stores.
