Even though they both have the same evil corporate practices of monopolizing everything, killing local businesses big or small, treats employees like shit with awful wages.

But the acceptance of Amazon is because "Not being able to physically see the factual bad business practices makes it ok".

Not the real answer I was looking for but ok.

1.) the invisibility of the awfulness, as you mentioned

2.) the brand identity: Amazon is seen as fresh and young and relevant, Walmart is associated with poor people, ugly people, weirdos

3.) the convenience: You can avoid Walmart more easily, but Amazon is THE place to access online shopping for so many people.

4.) Amazons monopoly cannibalizes competition unlike Walmart. So even if you wanna buy from a small seller, theyll still often sell THROUGH Amazon. In your own town you can stop at another store, but other small shops online still sell their stuff on Amazon to survive. At least small vendors dont have to set up booths inside Walmart.

Do people really still "love" Amazon? They've had a lot of bad press the past couple years.

Wait where did you get the idea that people hate Wal-Mart?

I mean it's got kind of a reputation for being a bargain bin peasant store but there's nothing wrong with the products they do sell. The worst thing about Wal-Mart are the customers.

Go to a walmart on a weekend afternoon. Its obvious many people dont hate it. Not enough to stop shopping there anyways. I hate going to walmart but why would I go to the other grocery stores when they are more expensive? Sounds stupid to me.

I hate going because something about walmart seems to make people act like fucking idiots. I dont see people anywhere else in town act the way they do inside walmart and im sure there has to be some cross over cause people who shop at walmart surely shop at other non grocery places as well.

I dont know man, people rag on amazon too

Politicians give them credit for upping their beginning wage to $15. What they dont mention is that they're automating most of their jobs and want to force their competitors who aren't to also have to pay their employees more.

Pretty savvy move, in an evil genius sort of way....

Their produce is generally crap they treat their employees like crap the service (lol like there is any) is crap. The company presents itself like shit and does and says asinine shit but ok its only the customers.

Perhaps if you read youd see I hate going cause of the customers not the store itself. But i guess i should expect this sorta thing from this site.

You said you hate going there. The reason you hate it doesnt change the fact you hate it.

But I guess I should expect that kinda reasoning from this site. >_>

As far as people looking crazy I havent seen many. What im talking about is people being obnoxious, blocking entire aisles cause they ran into a friend and want to chat and wont move. Kids running around being hellions. People leaving their trash wherever (that part doesnt affect me but i feel sorry for those who gotta clean it up) and just being crowded in general.

Ever been to one in a not so great area?
They vary greatly by location. To a ridiculous degree. Time of day is also a factor, but not as large.

This is partially Walmart's fault. They have security, they have people greeting at the door and yet these clowns still come through no problem.

I can only speak for knowing how they treat workers and ive seen some claim they are the devil to some saying it aint that bad. One guy at the local one here has worked their 16 years and has zero interest in finding work elsewhere. Then again after that long he is making considerably more than a new hire.

As for me i like saving money. I could swing food lion and sometimes will if i want to be able to just grab one or two items and get out quick. But except for meat walmart is cheaper than anywhere else here.
