I like the $0.99 store because sometimes I don't want to get all dressed up to go to Wal-Mart.
Yeah thats a funny quote but you could probably run a political campaign on everything that is wrong with that quote

I've got a two year old who is only now starting to potty train, so I feel qualified to speak about diapers. We tried a variety of brands in the beginning from store-brands to national brands. The BEST that we found in our area were the Sam's Club Member's Mark brand. (There is no Costco in town so I can't speak for the Kirkland brand).
The Member's Mark are .11 cents per diaper, which was far cheaper than any of the national brands. Like you, we were nervous about the cost of 300 diapers per month. They worked great. No leaks, no blowouts once we made the switch to Member's Mark. We kept him in those until we switched to Pull-Ups and still use them at night.
They should teach a whole semester in buisness school about Sam Walton.

I just finished my MBA, and there were several case studies in several different courses on WalMart.

Walmart has been remodelings existing stores for a few years now and all the new stores arent the same old dirty white tiles, red line around each area, and gross carpeting. The lighting has been improved to be more natural and even the shelves and racks are getting improvements. And you can go to any store, ie. macy's, penny's, publix, shoprite, and still see many of the same issues. Class doesn't matter when it comes to people being classless. Dropping a bag of potato chips on the floor and looking at it and walking over it or running your shopping cart over it because it was in your way happens everywhere and is just plain trashy. There is music playing at walmart stores too. The same music you will find in many places.

and having to wait behind 30 people to buy one item because only one of 30 registers is open.
Kinda like the Broken Window Theory in NYC.
Almost every town around here has a dead/dying strip mall that was once anchored by a Wal-Mart that was shuttered and got replaced by a Super Center two miles down the road.
That is probably my main beef about Wal-Mart, and alot of other big box retailers for that matter.
