Again with the repeated mantra that it's the only place they could get deals like that.
And in many parts of the country they are of course wrong -- they're selling out their souls for twenty pieces of silver and not even getting the pieces of silver. In most parts, if you look around a little, you can usually find fairly easily better deals than at WalMart . . . only they're not all in the same store.
And, if you really are buying "a pallet of toilet paper, 1200-cup supplies of styrofoam cups and 500-packs of frozen burger patties", you can shop wholesale online and have the stuff delivered -- you don't even have the hassle of packing all the stuff into your jumbo-sized 4mpg high-axled SUV to get it home.
the heavy handed parts of WALL-E, the parts where the mega-corporation that had taken over everything had made Earth unliveable and turned the people into mindless consumers. Now THAT's Science Fiction, they say.
Chuckled. A bitter chuckle, but a chuckle nonetheless.
