Which store do you like the most and why?

RomaGoth · 08-11-2009, 11:10 AM

Ok, so after some recent conversations and remarks I have had/heard from others, both here and outside the internet, I am curious about something.

I tend to shop at Walmart on the occasion, mostly due to convenience and lower prices. However, I absolutely do not agree with their labor practices and if I could find places that were on par price-wise, I would probably not shop at Walmart anymore. As it is, I only go there maybe once or twice a month.

Which stores do we shop at and why? Which stores do we hate and refuse to shop at? Why? This is only in regards to non-food items (i.e., video games, clothes, school supplies, bedding, etc..). Some of these stores are different in what they offer, so this is not a poll that compares each store.

path12 · 08-11-2009, 11:21 AM

Not too many of those listed in the Northwest. I avoid Walmart for the reason you stated.

I'd probably say Fred Meyer, which is very similar to Meijer (grocery/department store) or Target. For any kind of games, etc I go online only at this point.

So my vote is other.

Kodos · 08-11-2009, 11:24 AM

Well, out of that list, I enjoy Best Buy the most -- because it's electronics. If I'm at Walmart, it probably isn't because I'm shopping for something fun.

MikeVic · 08-11-2009, 11:27 AM

I don't know two of those. And is Kmart/Sears one company? I didn't know.

CamEdwards · 08-11-2009, 11:27 AM

We have the choice of Target or Wal-Mart in our neighborhood, and we choose Target for two reasons:

1) The store is newer/nicer

2) Customer service is better.

We actually stopped going to Wal-Mart after my wife ended up screaming, "Help!" in the store because the customer service was so bad. Of course I was standing right next to her, so several customers thought she needed help because of something I did!

Not good times.

DaddyTorgo · 08-11-2009, 11:28 AM

Target is a good alternative to WalMart.

molson · 08-11-2009, 11:30 AM

Walmart, because its cheapest. I don't get the hate. They pay crap because they hire low-skilled people. If I want someone to explain to me how a DVD player works, I'll go somewhere with better paid, more skilled employees. And I definitely don't want to pay for atmosphere. I always hear complaints about customer service, but since that's not something I'd ever avail myself of, it's not an issue. I just get stuff, give 'em money, and leave.

Subby · 08-11-2009, 11:30 AM

Not sure how you leave Target off of the list.

Wal-Mart is awful. If I want to go shopping in a ghetto-style warehouse, I'll at least head on over to Costco.

RomaGoth · 08-11-2009, 11:30 AM

Yeah I am familiar with Fred Meyer. Not a bad store really. Not sure how the hell I forgot about Target though.

Sears and Kmart merged about a year or two ago. Don't remember which bought out the other one, as I think they were both going down the toilet at the time.

No offense, and I'm sure it's not what you're looking for, but this paragraph made me laugh.

ColtCrazy · 08-11-2009, 11:36 AM

Our small city only has a Wal-Mart, yet we will usually drive the 25 miles to go to Target (for clothes, house stuff) and Meijer (groceries). We find that Meijer is actually cheaper, especially if you buy a few of Meijer's store brand stuff (which is infinitely better than Wal-Mart store brand) Wal-Mart's customer service and store cleanliness are not great and for some reason they seem to always hire managers that are either supreme jerks or absolute morons. But I guess if you are choosing to climb the Wal-Mart ladder, you probably have a limited skill set anyway.

PilotMan · 08-11-2009, 11:56 AM

Target's got to be there, easily my favorite.

How so? All I am saying is that if there were a better option, I would probably never shop at Walmart. Unfortunately, they are fairly inexpensive and the convenience factor is there as well. I could really do without the moronic employees (not all of them, but enough to make you label the place) and the customer base is not exactly up to, say, Target's standards.

I think he might mean that if you didn't like their labor practices so much, you'd probably avoid shopping there altogether. I know a couple of people that avoid the store completely because of that, regardless of the cheap price and convenience.

As for myself, I like WalMart for certain things. Bought a lamp set a lot cheaper than other places for example, and I like that there's a 24-hour one close by. Helped in a few occasions.

rockboy70 · 08-11-2009, 12:11 PM

Fry's for electronics, Target for everything else.

Yeah I see what you are saying. However, I don't think it can be that black and white. This goes along with the concept of not buying gasoline because you hate the oil companies. They don't care if you buy it or not, because millions of others are still buying gas from them. Same with Walmart. I don't agree with some of the stuff they have done, but I don't believe they are an evil company either. They are about making money, isn't that the American way? Also, sorry to say this, but people don't HAVE to work at Walmart. They can work anywhere they want with the right education/training. One of my first jobs was at Meijer in Michigan, and I worked there for almost a year before quitting. I hated the way they treated their employees. I have a relative who worked there for over 20 years and was let go for someone cheaper. So, it isn't just Walmart that pulls this shit, they are the ones who get the media attention though.

Philliesfan980 · 08-11-2009, 12:27 PM

Target as well. Being able to go into a store that's clean, well lit, always has what I need, and has plenty of open cashier lines is worth paying a modest premium for.

Greyroofoo · 08-11-2009, 12:28 PM

Online stores FTW

gstelmack · 08-11-2009, 12:29 PM

Target hands down. Best Buy might get the nod for electronics now that they've fixed the customer service in our local store, but they are in an inconvenient location and it's much easier to order from NewEgg or Amazon than drive over there. Target is definitely our general purpose store, and we only go other places for things they don't have and we don't want to wait to get online.

Pumpy Tudors · 08-11-2009, 12:41 PM

I just go wherever is closest or cheapest. I don't need customer service. I do it all myself. I'M A MAN.

Pretty much a combination of these two for me. I cannot remember the last time I went into a store without already knowing exactly what I want, where it is in the store, go get it and leave ASAP.

KWhit · 08-11-2009, 01:45 PM

Target for sure.

Big Fo · 08-11-2009, 01:46 PM

For games and electronics I prefer Best Buy because I can check to see if the store has stock beforehand, Wal-Mart and Target I have to call to find out. Best Buy also carries more games in stock, Target and Wal-Mart often don't have the more niche games.

Are Meijer stores a Northern/Western thing? I've never seen one.

stevew · 08-11-2009, 01:59 PM

This poll is dumb without Target.

ISiddiqui · 08-11-2009, 02:07 PM

If we are talking big box stores, it's Target for me as well. And I usually find Target has better prices, but Best Buy has more stock... but Amazon has better prices than both AND more stock than both.

"Customer Service" can actually annoy me. If you ask me if I need any help and I reply no thanks, please stop talking to me and telling me about different products or suggesting what I might be looking for.

I like Costco and I guess CVS partially because it's close. For games or electronics I don't go to a store unless I've already picked it out and compared prices.

Oh, and if Target is an option, then yes--I go there over Walmart.

EagleFan · 08-11-2009, 02:26 PM

Target FTW

Now that the one near us changed their food section it gets most of my grocery shopping too. Only go to Acme for meats, milk, cheese and if they have a sale on something that beats Target's price (which is rare as I have found that most of Target's items cost less than the Acme sale prices).

Plus (I have no idea why) there are always very hot women walking in and out of that store (of all ages to be honest). At least it seems that way to me.

SackAttack · 08-11-2009, 02:28 PM

I miss having a Fry's within reasonable driving distance.

I work at Best Buy, so most of my electronics shopping happens there. About the only thing I do Wal-Mart for is groceries from time to time and the occasional late night emergency (like a couple nights ago when I knocked a glass of water over on my keyboard while I was in the middle of doing some writing).

The K-Marts here, one is closing and the other is difficult to get into and out of, so I don't go there much.

The Targets here are much nicer than the ones back home were, though. I always felt dirty when I left a Target in CA. Not so the ones here.

What I mean by "Customer Service" is things like having someone available to get things that are locked up.

Oh they have the need food section there with produce? Ours is remodeling to that right now!

And I agree about the hot women. I was walking through a Target a couple months ago, and this girl walks by me that was dressed like those Brazilian soccer fan girls are always dressed, mid-driff Brazil jersey top that is low cut, short blue skirt, she was an 11 on a 1-10 scale... It was so out of place.

It's been two years since I've been in a Walmart, and I'm not hurrying back.

For general merchandise, it's usually a mix between Meijer and Target. Electronics I usually get online.

I like to eat popcorn there and talk about what the people did that day when they come in. Some of those people are sick.

Izulde · 08-11-2009, 04:10 PM

Count me as another Best Buy/Target combo.

I also like going to the small Gamestops in strip malls that have a lot of the old games that are hard to find. It seems like the larger Gamestops in bigger malls don't have that kind of variety for whatever reason.

There's a Shopko near my parents' house that they/we'll go to fairly often because it's close. I also like looking at their DVDs because sometimes they some pretty good sales.

For groceries, it's whatever's closest. I miss the small Quillin's near my fraternity house in La Crosse. It stayed open late and had a decent amount of stuff for its size. And when I had transportation, Festival Foods -rocked-. The IGA near my first apartment in Fayetteville was expensive and just kinda blah.

I think the nearest grocery store to my new apartment in Fayetteville is a Harp's, so we'll see how that goes when I'm down there starting next week.

Izulde · 08-11-2009, 04:10 PM

dola,

And yes, Target has a ridiculously good hot chick magnetic field. It's the only thing that made the hell of working there one holiday season even remotely bearable.

Izulde · 08-11-2009, 04:11 PM

trola,

Sometimes it's Wal-Mart just because it's the most convenient.

Izulde · 08-11-2009, 04:12 PM

quadola,

K-Mart's electronics section is -TERRIBLE-. I can't remember the last time I bought anything from a K-Mart at all.

Oh wait I can. Little Caesar's. I love the in-store LCs.

k0ruptr · 08-11-2009, 04:22 PM

didn't read the entire thread, but my GF is a current Wal-Mart manager, and I'm also a former employee. Out here in Hawaii the customer service is absolutely fantastic and you can't find a better paying job on the minimum wage scale. They start at around 4 bucks more an hour ( 10.75 - 11.75 an hour(big difference now days!) for the lowest totem poll jobs comparatively around town, while all the other stores/fast food/ gas station jobs in my town start at 7.25 an hour or so.

clemsonfan · 08-11-2009, 04:25 PM

Target. I really find it cleaner, friendlier, and just as inexpensive on a lot of things.

I hate Kmart. Kmart has no selection, inventory or customer service.

It seems like the larger Gamestops in bigger malls don't have that kind of variety for whatever reason. There's a Shopko near my parents' house that they/we'll go to fairly often because it's close. I also like looking at their DVDs because sometimes they some pretty good sales. For groceries, it's whatever's closest. I miss the small Quillin's near my fraternity house in La Crosse. It stayed open late and had a decent amount of stuff for its size. And when I had transportation, Festival Foods -rocked-. The IGA near my first apartment in Fayetteville was expensive and just kinda blah. I think the nearest grocery store to my new apartment in Fayetteville is a Harp's, so we'll see how that goes when I'm down there starting next week. __________________ 2006 Golden Scribe Nominee 2006 Golden Scribe Winner Best Non-Sport Dynasty: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty) Rookie Writer of the Year Dynasty of the Year: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty)

I love the in-store LCs. __________________ 2006 Golden Scribe Nominee 2006 Golden Scribe Winner Best Non-Sport Dynasty: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty) Rookie Writer of the Year Dynasty of the Year: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty)

Out here in Hawaii the customer service is absolutely fantastic and you can't find a better paying job on the minimum wage scale. They start at around 4 bucks more an hour ( 10.75 - 11.75 an hour(big difference now days!) for the lowest totem poll jobs comparatively around town, while all the other stores/fast food/ gas station jobs in my town start at 7.25 an hour or so.
