Wally world competes with mom and pop hardware and grocery stores.
Both of which... pay their employees nothing and have no benefits. People expect wallyworld to be sears and robuck.. but its not.. its the competes with dollar general, and other low end stores.
Its not a in the gold business, or selling 50k trucks, and they live off a profit margin that is among the lowest in the world.
I see lots of folks saying how its not this, or not that.. He!! yes.. is NOT.. it competes with your local grocery store and hardware and yet pays its employees more, delivers lower prices, and sells the exact same groceries and Chinese crapola that everyone else sells. If you not happy with getting it cheaper, more convenient, more selection, better stock, better hours, and better paid employees, better hours and donating back to the local community, you need to have your delusions fixed.
In all the little towns, how many mom and pops donate back? How many have reasonable hours for working people, or have what you need in stock? And small store prices??
Dont even get me talking about fishing gear, as no local will come anywhere close. And 15w40 tractor oil, they still kick butt. Our local hardware store is open 9 to 5, mon -friday only... meaning they are totally useless for working folks to use. Time to move on down the road to wallyworld, get in fast, get out fast. save a ton of money, same stuff..
If you got a bug up your behind and cant get along with wally world, you really have more problems to worry about. And no.. they are not an engine overhaul place and dont pretend to be.. They replace wiper blades, tires, batteries and oil changes. And compared to quicklube places, wallyworld auto folks have been there for 5 to 10 years or more and have more than 5 minutes experience on changing oil. And no, they dont hire rocket scientist, but the same local folks as working in the local hardware and grocery stores.
