Sure, they're awesome competitors -- but I don't care. If I want cheap plastic crap, I'll go to Target instead.

Amen. My sentiments exactly. I hate Wal-Mart with a passion. I'd rather give my business to the local mom and pop Ace Hardware. If I'm feeling really low, I'll go to Target.
Further, like the previous post by The Warden, The Wal-Mart nearest to my house is in the city of Pomona, and 90% of the shoppers are Spanish-speaking (probably non-legal) immigrants from Mexico. Most of the workers speak English very, very poorly - some so bad that I can't communicate with them.
