ANOTHER FAMILY DOLLAR OR DOLLAR GENERAL.

WITH THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THE CITY LEADERS ARE ATTRACTING AS CITIZENS NOWADAYS, THE HIGH END STORES HERE HAVE BECOME ODD LOTS/FAMILY DOLLAR AND DOLLAR GENERAL, REPLACING SEARS, ELDER_BEERMAN AND McALPINS/MACY'S. LOGICALLY, HIGH END STORES WON'T DO WELL IN A TOWN WITH A LOW MEDIAN INCOME.

Old Jewish saying " Money goes where money is".
 I heard that sales at our local WalMart are down...

That because our local Wal-Mart is as bad if not worse than the Wal-Mart in Moraine. I was in Wal-Mart a few days ago, to get a new Vacuum Cleaner. Let's just say I am not surprised.

1) the Vacuum cleaner section was destroyed, and nothing lined up with the correct prices.
2) There was a customer at the Paint Counter who kept hitting the help button for at least 15 minuets before someone paged for him. 
3) People running around like the just got out of bed, or could not find anything nice to wear.
4) Lines were insanely long
5) There was an argument going on in the parking lot as we walked to our car.

We hate going to the Middletown Wal-Mart so much we make it a point to go to Meijer or Kroger's when ever we get a chance.

I too, had a situation at the Middletown Wal-Mart last Saturday. The old "football watchin' " TV finally gave out last week. Had no sound for months and I used the closed caption to get a little more service out of it before taking it to the curb for the junk folks or Rumpke to pick up. Went to Wal-mart to buy another one. Selected one and promptly stood there for about 20 minutes watching the electronics employee chit-chat with his buddy. Finally called it quits and went to Sears and got a better deal for less money. Wal-Mart will never know they lost a sale due to the poor service provided the customer.......unless I go back and tell the store manager about the situation. The manager may or may not care at this point.
