Eh, I think the problem isn't even "lower class" it's "I don't want to shop at a store with a meth lab"[1]

How does walmart begin to fix problems like that? IDK. Even Kmart back in the day didn't have that sort of image problem. Heck, other brands like Kroger or albertsons/safeway don't have that problem. It's a pretty unique problem to the walmart brand.

Oddly enough, Asda (walmart's UK brand name) doesn't have the same image problem. It really is a problem unique to the US walmart brand.

I wonder if/how Asda got out of the "countryside" style of management of Walmart

In other countries their micromanagement made them fail. Like in Germany, where it's the place where it crashed and burned the worse.
