But I'm not a big fan of Wal-Mart and similar large retailers . . . But I know far too many people that buy nearly EVERYTHING from Wal-Mart, and Wal-Mart tries to encourage this behavior.
But it's soooo convenient. I've moved to a country that doesn't seem to have any everything in one place type superstores. (the best they have are hypermarkets, which are laughable) They also don't have any 24 hour stores.
I miss Tesco and Asda (large UK retailers, Asda's actually owned by Walmart) more often than I miss my friends back home.
