I don't like the new Walmart. You'd think because they have a bigger store that they wouldn't be running out of stuff but instead of it being better it's much worse. It's almost like they run out of the fast moving economical items intentionally and try and force you to buy more expensive and probably more profitable items instead; of which the new store has a lot more of.
While just like our little Home Depot, you can order anything they don't stock and have it delivered to the store, I can more often find what I'm looking for online somewhere else for about the same price than Walmart and have it delivered directly to my home. This isn't so often the case with Home Depot; probably because building materials tend to be heavier and more expensive to ship than the things Walmart sells so I often find myself picking them up directly at Home Depot.
I usually feel like I am in a prison upon exiting Walmart after having to show the guard at the door my receipt which didn't happen so often at the old Walmart. I actually did get out of the new store once without showing my receipt because the guys back was turned while he was checking someone else and even though I paid for everything I felt liberated because I had gotten away with it. The whole process sort of reminds me of Homeland Security at the air port; only you don't have to take off your shoes and belt before exiting the store and get x-ray-ed. At least not yet... You also don't have to worry about being taken somewhere in the back to be strip searched... Do you?
