Guess I've been lucky - most of the time most of the employees/associates at Walmart have been helpful and pleasant.

I've had people cut fabrics for me at various Walmarts - even when they were pulled from who-knows-where to do it - and they didn't seem to be grumpy at all about it.

I live in between two Walmarts - one very disorganized and one that is further from me which is very organized and has a clearance rack. Guess which one I go to! What also helps is that Walmart I like is located right acros JoAnns, so when I get a sticker shock at one store, I know I will feel better in the other. Just like week I bought yards and yards of fabric in Walmart at unbelievable $1 - $2.5 ? yard. Cannot beat that!

I agree that not all Walmarts are equal.
