Do people really save at Wal Mart? Or do they just pump more of their paycheck into their low priced made in china crap?
I dislike wal mart and their damn commercials they constantly air. Thank goodness the closest one is 200 miles away.

they are on the same level as K-Mart as far as I'm concerned.
The Shop
Lots of bitching from locals that Wal Mart will put them out of business.
I can see it on some levels but on other levels, Wal Mart fills a niche that others can't do.
If I want to buy a ice chest, a pair of socks and a can of spray paint, there is no where else in this town that I can do that.
The "Little Guy" at least in my town that may get hurt by them has been ass-raping us for years cause they were the only game in town. Fuckem....
I don't like Wal Mart & all of their baggage but local stores need to get real about prices. That will keep them in business as long as they want to be in business.
You ever think that a welfare mom can't be able to feed her babies unless she shops there?
You ever wonder what it is like to stand in line at the place you work to cash your paycheck?
I've had to do it as a young guy with no bank account.
Hate Wal Mart if you want to but don't hate the shoppers or people that work there. Thats cold bloooded and putting the blame on the wrong people.
I grew up in Dallas.
You are so far south and west that you don't even rate having a speed trap.
What, are there maybe two ranch roads going thru your town?
STFU pleeeeeezzzee.
Your nearest big city is Waxahachie?
How many miles do you have to drive to even hit I35?
Your only solice is that you are kind of near Ennis which used to be home for Mosier Valley but that is gone now.
WTF else could be going on in Covington to make a job at Wal Mart not look maybe attractive?
I was thinking Ennis and should have said Euless for Mosier.
Still didn't answer the question though.
If you live in Covington Freakin Texas and don't work at Wal Mart, then what do you do?
And even if you work a regular job, why make fun of Wal Mart people?
Pit Row
I got that store dialed
I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
There's Johnson's hardware and Morgans jewelry
And the ol' Lee King's apothecary
They were the little man
The little man
I go back now and the stores are all empty
Except for an old Coke sign from 1950
Boarded up like they never existed
Or renovated and called historic districts
There goes the little man
There goes the little man
Now the court square's just a set of streets
That the people go round but they seldom think
Bout the little man that built this town
Before the big money shut em down
And killed the little man
Oh the little man
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
Then new stores came where you do it yourself
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
Forget about the little man
Forget about that little man
He hung on there for a few more years
But he couldn't sell Slurpees
And he wouldn't sell beer
Now the bank rents the station
To a man down the road
And they sell velvet Elvis and
Second-hand clothes
There goes little man
There goes another little man
Chorus
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip
You can buy the world with just one trip
And save a penny cause it's jumbo size
They don't even realize
They're killin' the little man
Oh the little man
Chorus
It wasn't long when I was a child
An old black man came with his mule and his plow
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
Back before we'd all forgot about the little man
The little man
Long live the little man
God bless the little man
i will never shop there
