For the record, I wasn't advocating shopping at Walmart. I was pointing out that there are very few alternatives for the lower middle class. They're brutal to distributors, who end up not being able to sell product to smaller grocery stores, who therefore can't afford to put certain items on sale as often. My stepfather worked as frozen manager at a small grocery store and was told by distributors all the time that they couldn't give them items at sale price because Walmart had them on sale. So, perhaps on account of your Walmart, Meijer and stores like it people can't shop anywhere but, so ranting about the social strata of Walmart shoppers doesn't make al that much sense.
