I hate Walmart on a good day. I too have to drive at least 15 miles to get to one from home. There is one in the town where I work, however. I rarely go there and do most of my shopping at the Dollar General.

My DBF and I went shopping Friday. We go most every year, but I refuse to be at Walmart when it opens. That 5 am opening brings out the dregs of society. My nephew's aunt works there and she said people were throwing stuff over people's heads and the police were called to haul two people off to jail who were fighting. Most every Walmart around here has an incident every year. I can drive about 20 miles in any direction from my house and get to a Walmart.

We went to two Walmarts, Kmart, Home Depot, Kohl's, Toys 'R Us, Best Buy, Peebles, Game Stop and the Mall where we went into Sears, F.Y.E. (electronics store), Macy's and Victoria's Secret. We arrived at the first Walmart at about 6 am and didn't really encounter any majorly bad behavior. The traffic was bad and we saw rude people but that is an everyday thing. I didn't witness any fights or arguments. We got some good bargains.

I have always been amazed that someone would be willing to hurt someone to get a gift for someone. That is just so warped. Christmas is supposed to be about Christ's birth and good will toward men. Unfortunately it has turned into a commercial nightmare where some people are willing to do anything and pay anything to make sure their children have whatever toy is "hot" this year.
