Wal-Mart visits

Hey class, I went out to Wal-Mart in Collierville a couple of days ago. I live near a Walmart. What a difference! Couldn’t’ miss it. For one, yeah the customers were of different ethnic backgrounds, of course. By this I mean, in some Walmart vicinities, the majority of shoppers are African American. On the otherhand, the day I went, I experienced a majority Caucasian crowd of shoppers. The atmosphere was such a nice one to shop in! It was evident that the store was way much cleaner and much more organized! I would definitely drive that extra mile to have a good environment to shop in. Unfortunately, the one I live near, we do not go there at night. Why? It’s just not a good idea, if you can read between the lines. Yeah, what ever you may be thinking it could possibly be, it probably is. Put it this way, if we desperately need something, although the Wal-mart is nearest, we drive a couple blocks more; to shop at Kroger, which is not too much farther. We do this for safety precautions. This has altered my sense of Memphis in way that you would think that a place such as Wal-mart would be family friendly just about at any location. Unfortunately, I’ve come to learn that it’s really not that way, not here in Memphis that is, because I found that some Wal-marts are definitely much safer than others, once I took a good look at it. Before we were really familiar with the Wal-mart I live near, my husband would escort me in and out of there each and every- time. He finally said, were are not coming back, this after we went in the store and only a few cashiers that were working with a crowd of angry customers. And in this part of town, it doesn’t feel good to be surrounded by multitudes of irate customers on the verge of mobbing, this from their own vicious and verbal remarks that they were shouting because of the circumstances. Well, that was enough for us. We more than mutually agreed, it wasn’t worth it. By the way the Customer Service at the Wal-mart was much kinder and customer oriented, they don’t make up reasons why they cannot accommodate a legit refund. You do not have to press the issue on something you’re rightfully entitled to as outlined in their policies under the appropriate conditions of their terms. My thought is that, the Wal-mart near my home, has had so many bad experiences, they do not know how to acknowledge a legitimate customer. Anyways, I do prefer to shop at Wal-marts that are not in close proximity to my home for that particular reason amongst other reasons.
