I hate Wal-Mart, I will state that now as a fact of life. Wal-Mart is essentially hell on earth to me. I live in an area where there are times the only way that I can possibly get all the things on my list would be to go to Wal-Mart. When I go, I often go to the electonics department (I like my gizmos) to see what all is available. I have never bought music there, but from what I see and here all the music at Wal-Mart is highly edited to the point of rediculousness, they have a meager (and by meager I mean they have more dinner options in Ethiopia) selection of mostly classic crap and pop crap. And I'm certian that if I were to bother counting I'd find less than 300 available albums at any time. This goes similarly for movies, video games, and other forms of media. Sadly, I don't have specialty stores in my area that sell music so I am forced to keep what I have, borrow from freinds, and mostly just suffer quietly.

The real question is; is there anywhere on earth that sells music worse than Wal-Mart when it comes to music selections and availability and all that other stuff?

You're typing on it.

the cool kids buy their music and movies online. *nod*

Music... worse selection than Wal-Mart? K-mart comes to mind, their selection is smaller.

and even smaller is a chain from Japan... Daiei. Don't blink, you may just miss it.

K-Mart.

Wal-mart is a bad place to buy music, but a good place to buy:

Clothes
Movies
Games
Food
sporting goods
tools
and so on

My online time is at work only, that and I don't use credit cards, whats the point in paying $50 for something that costs $15?

I don't have any credit cards either, it doesn't keep me from shopping online....

You should be boycotting walmart anyways.

They're eeeeevil.

if your doing your music shopping at a store whether it be supermarket or record shop, odds are your music shouldn't be brought :p

My online time is at work only, that and I don't use credit cards, whats the point in paying $50 for something that costs $15?

There are libraries and cash cards.

My online time is at work only, that and I don't use credit cards, whats the point in paying $50 for something that costs $15?

why would you pay $50 for a $15 item?

There are libraries

you can buy music online from the library :confused:

Dude, I live in BFE. Most people around me don't know what a graphic artist is, and many don't know what a computer is (I shit you not). I would boycott Wal-Mart but I can't afford to. The costs of travel and all the other things outstripe my earnings when balanced against my other bills or I'd gladly raise an army and burn Wal-Marts across the globe down. Likewise, if the Apocolypse were to happen tomorow and I was a survivor, Wal-Mart would be one of my first destinations for needed supplies.. everything from weapons to foodstuffs is there.
I don't like using my cash card, I still get charged a fee, not as large as the credit card mind you but I still do. As for the libraries? I tend to borrow books and not return them... they only let people with library cards use computers and I'm likely on the librarians equivalent of the top ten most wanted list. Living int he middle of nowhere sucks, but I can't afford not to currently.

Who buys music?

I was exagerating the point. The point is I don't want to get a credit card, I'd likely over spend my limit and get in deep dookey. College has me in debt up to my ears already.

I've never been in a library that didn't have an internet connection.

My biggest problem probably stems from hating money. I hate it almost as much as Wal-Mart. Maybe I'm a bad capitalist, or maybe I'm just not greedy (or are those the same)?
I'm a cheapskate through and through most of the time and I refuse to spend a single dime more than I beleive is necesary because it is just my luck that down the line I'll need that stupid dime. Why can't we think of a better way to do things?

That sucks. My suggestion to is to raid the women's dorms. Steal their underwear. Don't wonder about such things as why.

I'm out of college and paying out my ass for the 'privelage' of going there. It hasn't done a thing for me cept drain money and make it nearly impossible to get a job. "Oh... you have a brain? Sorry we don't have room for anyone who isn't a mindless zombie..."

In college... I raided the women's dorm to have ngiths of passion with the so called 'lesbains'.

Who buys music?

People with money. I think.

Who buys music?

Honestly, I don't own any CDs really.

Yeah.. everything's $1.87.. or $1.18.. sometimes $0.98.

I could probably cut back to $10/mo if I stuck to mashed potatoes, oats, rice and noodles.. but that much starch would probably kill me. :p

You should be boycotting walmart anyways.

They're eeeeevil.


Unless you're poor and in college :)

It's not as bad now that they have to label that it is censored music.

My sister-in-law bought a Metallica CD for my brother in law, it was pre-labeling. He stuck it in his car and heard "beep beep beep beep beep beep beep you beep beep beep"

he was less than happy. Now, at least you know before you buy it that it's censored...I guess it works for some parents who want to monitor what their children listen to.

I wouldn't buy my music from WalMart...If I have to buy a CD, I get it from Target.

Nope. The cool kids make their own.

If God had meant man to buy music at Walmart he wouldn't have had Satan inspire Al Gore to invent the internet.

I was trying to start him slowly.....

Meh. I'm of the in-at-the-deep-end camp when it comes to teaching.

No, Target is the worst place to buy music. At least Wal-Mart has Steve Miller, George Thorogood,John Fogerty AND more than one AC/DC album.

the cool kids 'buy' their music and movies online. *nod* fixed for accuracy ;)

People still buy music? :confused:

Wal mart is the worst place to buy everything.

I have a stack of coupons for a sporting goods store that makes ammunition cheaper there, and they sell mexican coke at circle K now.

Wal-Mart = bye bye!

See my previous post.

And that makes Wal-Mart better how? They sell redneck music. I thought that was a given.

No, it is a BAD place to "buy:

Clothes
Movies
Games
Food
sporting goods
tools
and so on", because they sell primarily cheap junk imported from overseas.

Unless you're poor and in college :)

Wal-Mart CAUSES people (the people who USED to have manufacturing jobs in the United States) to be poor by "cost-cutting" them out of their manufg. jobs (i.e., by forcing their suppliers to cut costs to the point where they can no longer afford to have their manufacturing operations in the United States because Wal-Mart is obsessed with perpetually "rolling back" prices) and sending them (the manufg. jobs) overseas so that now most of the products we buy come from China, or Vietnam, or Pakistan, or no telling where else.

You should be boycotting walmart anyways.

They're eeeeevil.

Amen; I second that. As a matter of fact, I'll third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, 11th, etc. that; read my reply above to Zilam to find out why.

Amen; I don't like Wal-Mart either. Everywhere they go, Wal-Mart puts small businesses out of business by undercutting their prices, because they (Wal-Mart) can afford to do it because they buy stuff cheap because they FORCE the manufacturers/suppliers to make it cheaper, and...well, read the rest of it above in my reply to Zilam. Thus they put both U.S. factory workers AND the small businesspeople who would buy from them out of business.
