    I see some things haven't changed much in the 10 years I have been off the road. :biggrin_25524: DOH!

    I would much rather have a run into NYC than a live unload at Wally World. I'm serious too. I hated those places.

    Please tell me which Wally World DC unloads you in under 2hrs? Because if what you say is true you have found the unicorn. Most Walmarts take at least 3-4hrs if not longer to unload, at least in my experience.

    Actually, their stores are getting bad now too... Lots of half empty or disorganized shelves, and only having 4 or 5 checkout lines open (out of the other 30 closed) with extra long lines of people. The Walton family could care less,,, drivers waiting time, they have so much money they can buy a small country.

    I think that's why the attitude of the general public is beginning to turn on walmart. ..Walmart could care less about customer service. ...I guess there idea of customer service is the customer has to kiss there behind...I take my business elsewhere whenever possible as much as I can..

    I have always hated Walmart, unfortunately our company hauls to their DC's often enough.I haven't bought anything from them in well over 15 years. I am the guy that will pay almost double at a local grocery store versus buying Walmart so cheap, half rotten groceries. I will pay $50 more for a TV at Best Buy or target, not saying they are so much better, but I would rather give my money to them than to Walmart.

    what really bugs me, is how the section 8 people will fill their shopping carts up with 24 pack cubes of soda pop and junk food, and pay for it with food stamps.

    Not me lol I was literally ready to smack the smug ##### behind the counter who #### well knew I was there on time.

    And I spoke too soon back in feb when I made that post. Now we're doing malwart loads. At least they're drops now and not live......but we still have to give the greedy ######## 50 for the lumper scam on a ####### drop trailer.

    I'll just stop there before I get started on them again. My history and feeling towards them have been well documented in several threads lol
