Last year I wrote to walmart exec's...the response that I got was that the decision had been made to change everything over to become more "target like". I was also told that they will be catering to the 30 and under crowd like Target does. I do very very little shopping there and any time that I need or can afford fabric I go to the LQS. I refuse to shop there unless it is something that I cannot live without until I can drive 30 to 50 miles to a big city which is rare (about needing something) Our tiny town has a walmart and they don't even carry wiper blades for my cars or pickup!!!! What's up with that??? Can't even find a car battery to fit!!!! I have a sister in law that works for wally world in a larger city that I told that "walmart is worthless" ....wow did she ever get upset...I told her to find a set of wiper blades for my model year pickup in our town. Her reply was that We can't carry everything....typical response that has been drilled into them!!!!!
