If you've got a Walmart that is clean and well-maintained and you are confident buying groceries there... lucky you!

The Walmart nearest me - which is the only one where it would be convenient to buy groceries - probably has lower prices than other nearby stores, but I had too many experiences where I opened a freezer case and started to put something in my cart only to find it was halfway thawed, or pulled something out of a (supposedly) refrigerated case that turned out to be room temperature once I had it in my hand. *shudder*

Did not give me confidence when it came to buying groceries there in general, and I'm not going to one store to buy frozen food and dairy products and a second store for everything else, especially when the second store is the Walmart here and they have already reduced their floor space and thus their inventory by half since they opened. Most of the non-grocery stuff I used to go there to look for or buy... there's just no point in stopping there for it, as the chances of finding it are slim to none.

Combine that with the fact that they have two dozen registers but either can't convince or aren't willing to pay for more than 2-3 cashiers to show up for any given shift, which means a ridiculously long wait in line in a store that is not really that busy - ugh.
