[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I went shopping at Walmart and they have all the same stuff you'll find at a Target, Harris Teeter or wherever. All the major brands: P&G, Johnson & Johnson etc. So why do DCUMers say that the store is full of crap? It's exactly the same stuff you buy at Giant on Conn. except you don't see pretentious people flaunting their dual degrees from HYP in poli sci/history. [/quote]

Actually, many of the name-brand products you see at Wal-Mart are a lower quality than you see at other stores…the manufacturers produce a separate line for Wal-Mart to meet its price demands. They use more cardboard than plastic and more plastic than metal, thinner fabrics, single rows of stitching instead of double, glue instead of fasteners, etc. etc. Electronics have fewer features. Products have shorter warranties. And once manufacturers change what they do for Wal-Mart, they often start doing it for other stores, which is why the quality of so many consumer goods is shoddier today than it was 20 years ago.
