I Hate Walmart

I went there today (with my three kids six and under) just to get laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, and kids' toothpaste. All things which are too expensive at my local grocery store. I would try Costco but it is a trek across town that I didn't feel up to doing. This is what I hate about it...
1) It is so crowded! We dodged several carts and went down some aisles at an attempt at finding some shortcuts to avoid cart jam ups. I finally saw an opening and went for it, feeling rather proud of my maneuvers. But alas, we found ourselves stuck behind an elderly woman on a motorized scooter going .5 miles an hour. argh! (inhale slowly three times)
2) In addition to the crowds there are huge bins in the middle of the aisles making it impossible to navigate around people. And it's ruthless, everyone is trying to get by because they know if you're not aggressive you're stuck.
3) No employee has ever had a clue of what they were talking about. Standard Response: Shock at why you are asking them information. Standard Answer: "Sorry, it's not my department." I am assuming the yellow smiley faces on their vests stands for clueless.
4) There is about 12 registers in every Wal-mart and only about three open. In addition the clerks always have their lights blinking waiting for the one person that actually knows what they are doing to come up and push one single button.
5) I have three kids with me whining, pushing each other, asking for everything they see, and generally acting like zoo animals.
OK, so #5 has nothing to do with Wal-mart and probably is the cause of all the other frustrations...yet I choose to blame them.

But I continue to go...why?
1) it's so close to my house
2) those dang cheap prices
