You should consider yourself lucky you haven’t been beaten into a pulp.

Tared. feathered and run out of town on a rail!

Rural folk just love being called ‘rustics’, pal…

Gee, where did that smile go?

I’m just surprised he recognized the sarcasm.

Big box discount appliances are like buying Chinese tools. They might get the job done, but they don’t perform well. break easily, and are missing important features that you can see weren’t installed. When they break, you go to the dealer stores that can’t afford to carry the sub bottom line and sell higher quality appliances with more features and longer life.

To my knowledge, Walmart does not offer any large home appliances (washers, refrigerators, stoves, etc.) and, to my knowledge, didn’t in 1994 when this storyline was first published. So, at least this woman shouldn’t be as concerned. Now, once The Home Depot and/or Lowe’s comes to town …

Letterman, Letterman… Was he the guy who worked with Ed McMahon? Or the chubby guy without a chin, always making racist jokes at the expense of his Black band leader?

The Walmart’s in my area do not carry large appliances. Right now the store’s is out of most electronics and home items.

I"m trying to figure out if their being dead meat is good or bad for the butcher shops.

I hope they move in near me. I’ve always dreamed of selling doohickies.

so far he’s suggesting every shop give themselves over to selling some for or other of chatchkies

I know of no Walmart Supercenter around here that sells major appliances. Wide Screen TVs, yes, but dishwashers, no.

I suspect the poor business people of down town where ever are going to lose. Oh yeah. I forgot. They did.

He’s channelling Donahue!

Knick-knacks? This guy should be paddy-wacked.

The WalMart super store here does not sell large appliances, and we have two drug stores and a hardware store in town, two appliance stores, two grocery stores, all doing okay for years. Did lose our two tire stores, though…

Notice how the Walmart shill suggests that everyone else change to accommodate Walmart?

Yeah, sue ‘em. Of course, they’ll be judgment-proof by the time it comes to trial…

Doohickies, nick-nacks, bric-a-brac, etc reminds of the Christmas shows that come around in November and December. More home made stuff that is only good to give as gifts to relatives you hate.

“You just need a change!”

“Try something new!”

(Speaking of needing a change…)

WELL I DIDN’T READ ALL THE COMMENTS BUT NOBODY MENTIONED YET THAT WAL-MART DOESN’T SELL DISHWASHERS

…walmart doesn’t sell large appliances.. just air conditioners

I miss Dave.

WM does not carry appliances.

You tell him, Mother Doonesbury!!!

In the end, it’s just like talking to a Wal.
