Yeah, I didn't intend that as a slight against the employees. It's just another thing that makes shopping there unpleasant. I don't expect that employees at a store like that put on a bunch of fake-happiness for my sake, but Wal-Mart's give off strong "I hate this shit" vibes that I don't get other places. I don't blame them (the employees) for it, though.

I got that at Safeway on Market/Church in SF. But in other places I've seen Walmart and other stores' staff have been much happier and nicer. Even though these chains try to have consistent experiences across locations, there is a pretty large variability from city to city.

I agree, but would Walmart paying their staff like Costco to help them have some happiness in their life be enough to get customers like us in their stores?
There’s still the whole, all very poor people shop there dynamic that isn’t going away unless someone can undercut Walmart significantly.
