Both are big box stores, but Target is usually clean, while going to WalMart is disgusting and I feel the need of a shower after leaving that place.


That's why I heard a lot of people back home call it the "Gay man's Walmart"

They even went so far as to say that its red and white interior are supposed to be a subconscious implication of pink.

Not that I care, it's a nicer store. Prices are slightly higher than Walmart, though.


I could see the "Gay man's Walmart" thing. The prices are higher, but it's worth it to me. I had to go out of my way to get to a Walmart, while there were two Super Targets within 8 minutes of my apartment, while the closest, and cleanest one I've been to, Walmart was 15/20 minutes. For groceries I usually went to Costco, Meijer, or Trader Joe's.

I get the opposite feeling, the website makes me miss America and WalMart. Look at how much individuality you can see. People willing to be themselves no matter what. I've seen some pretty weird looking people at WalMart too. It's fun.


I weirdly sort of, kind of miss it too...

It was a relaxing place. I still laugh thinking about the time I cleaned out the electronics department by farting. So hilarious, I stunk out the Walmart! I'm never relaxed enough to fart in Korea, even with all the kimchi...

I've looked through almost 100 pages from that site now. There are a lot of women at Walmart who have absolutely no business wearing anything backless.

Funny story kaypea.

Adjoshis don't have anything on hillbillies, junkies, skinheads, red necks, gang bangers, and of course just good ol' plain white trash. I had a career but I was not happy with what I had trained and worked for. Just enjoy the funny picture you pretentious clown shoes.


I don't think anybody is saying individual Americans are better than individual Koreans.


really?

Thats not true. The world is full of highly intelligent, sophisticates who drink fine wine, dress in only the most elegant attire, enjoy opera and read classic literature all day long. While Americans are coarse and stupid.
