Depends what you call "food"
It is indeed cheaper IF you're willing to buy WM's own cheapshit brands of packaged goods, like peanut butter and such. Name brands are a different story.

Can I be....frank?
Yes but they had the best commercial jingle ever:
"It's F and Easy" which sounded like "It's F'n Easy" :laughing

I got physically ill when I entered the bedding aisle the first and only time I've been in a Walmart.
The fumes coming off the items on the shelves were so toxic.

Much better lighting, better smelling, more room within the aisles, easier to find the different sections, and, of course, better-looking customers.

Depends. They scale of shittiness between the two overlaps. The best Targets are better than any Walfart, but the worst Targets are a lot worse than the best Walfarts.
Many of Targets' products are just as dogshit, or worse, than what Walfart carries, too.
I'm not defending Walfart. Its just that somehow Target doesn't get the same flak, but in my experience are not that much different. Ok, the clientele in Target is slightly less slovenly than Walfart, but the end result is not significantly better, and in some cases worse, than Walfart.

Any business with that many stores, is bound to have some, that are a running loss factory. (that need to be closed)

Is right behind you
Crazy busy store but it's all about profit per sq. ft. The rents in Oakland have gone up astronomically. The store will be closing in days so it was clearly high on the chopping block.
FWIW their business plan calls for the opening of aprox. 300 stores.

Just a month or so ago we heard Walmart was increasing pay across the board. That put more pressure on the other side of the balance sheet, so stores that were on the margins had to close.

Yeah, heard the one by the airport off Hegenberger is closing. I went in there once to look for a last minute camping supply. It was a surreal and shocking experience. Kept asking myself, "where am I?" Most ghetto, depressing, dirty store I have ever been in. I could feel the collective sorrow in that place.

I said good day, sir!
Wal-mart stores are all about competing on prices for goods/services that would normally be out of reach of the working poor, or blue collar folk, etc. Which is something people don't understand and/or can't really grasp as they look down on Wal-mart and Wal-mart shoppers, etc.
In other words Wal-mart's core consumer audience are folks who are generally price sensitive consumers, i.e. people who do not have the luxury to thumb their noses at Wal-mart because their income bracket makes shopping at places like Costco very often a luxury, a cost prohibitive endeavor, etc.
Which when you realize this point of fact you then can judge people's real and unfiltered reaction to shopping at a place frequented by "the p00rs".
