The last few times I've walked into a Walmart, the place has been a disaster.

Shelves empty and in disarray, no evidence that they ever did carry the product I was after, the building in an increasing state of disrepair.

I'm done with this company.

The Walmart here is pretty good, but this is a small city/large town where most of the local businesses have gone, so we have to rely on the Walmart a lot of the time. They keep it clean and well-stocked. They even usually have a couple of checkout lanes open.

But Walmarts are generally awful from what I understand.

Yeah hopefully ours goes out of business soon.

Have they choked out all other options in the vicinity?

Not really; we're pretty flush for retail.
