People are stupid. People shopping at, and working at walmart are usually EXTRA stupid.
I mean, why work a job that barely pays you peanuts, but also treats you like shit? Yet Walmart is the nations largest employer.
Then you go into their store, and get treated like shit for existing. And the prices aren’t that much lower than Target. Which in my city is literally right across the street.
Now your city may not be literally right across the street, but in most markets the Target is usually still fairly close. Close enough that if you were going to go to walmart, you may as well have just gone to Target instead.
There’s a reason PeopleOfWalmart was a thing. Or how Superstore/Cloud 9 was CLEARLY based on Walmart.
It’s a shit store, with shit employees, and slightly lower prices. The whole experience no matter what perspective you’re coming from is built to enshitify YOUR experience at the cost of saving Walmart money. Tiny amounts of money.
So I assume people use the review section as their only source of an outlet to rage.

I know several people who work at Walmart. I wouldn’t say they are stupid, but they’re trapped in a shitty situation where they all rely on public transportation (in Texas) to get to work, which means Walmart is one of the only options.

Tell them to move to Cleveland. We have one of the best public transportation systems in the country.
The downside is, it’s still technically Ohio. But you’re coming from Texas anyways. So it’s not like you have a high horse to stand on anyways. If anything going from Texas to Ohio is like going from the 2nd worst state to like the 8th worst state.
Sooooook, slight upgrade.

Riiiiiight. They can’t afford a car and can barely pay rent despite being split between three of them, so they can definitely afford to move to Ohio.

As someone who has never set foot in Cleveland, I even know this is horrible advice
