Wal-Mart is pure evil scum.Full of society's rejects.

Check out the West Saint Paul store especially, A freak show if you ever saw one.

They treat their employees like crap and now the greedy &$$#$! want to steal even more money from people who can't afford to waste money on crap.

I hope people will wisely put the money to good use and not on all the junk this store sells

Wal-Mart can go to HELL!!!!!!

You want to see the worst Wal-Mart? Go to the one in St. Paul on University Ave. You can't ask anyone for help because the employees don't speak English!(gee, imagine that)

I believe anyone who files a tax return will receive a stimulus check.

People had to have filed an income tax return, and supposedly earned income to get the checks. So the answer is "some." Folks who work but can't afford to live, folks who lost their jobs halfway through the year will get a check.

The permanently shiftless will not see a benefit. So much for the DFL trying to give everything to the poor. Poor people should register and vote, that way they could benefit from election year stunts.

Using your stimulus at Walmart only helps the Chinese economy. Spend it here with a local merchant or small business owner and help Minnesota's economy.

Walmart stores reflect the community they are in, in general. Out state stores are very nice and the employees are great. I can't argue with the comments about the city stores. You put any store on University and it will suck. The losers that live there become your employees and customers. I know I used to work in that area.
the one that gets me is the on in Vadnas. For some reason that store is used a a minority daycare center - can't stand it. But that does not represent the area around it. As a company there are many good things.

Walmart is a dump. The world would be a better place if people would realize this and quit spending their money on the crap that Walmart sells. Walmart is like a fly trap for the scum of every community they open up a store in.

I agree with Bill M regarding the visual state of the stores. WSP = bad. Inver Grove = good.
Wanna boost the local economy? Shop Target. They are still a Minneapolis-based company and they give back huge amounts of money to the local communities every year.
Wanna save a buck (or have to)? Shop WalMart.

give your check to Larry:

"I think it's simplistic and naive to say people can spend their money better than the government... The notion that everybody can individually spend their money better than government I, I just think is trite, wrongheaded and anti-democratic."
