Yes and no...
For Australians... Walmart's are superstores which is basically a Target, Specsavers, Hair Salon, Pharmacy, Anaconda, JB Hifi, RepCo Auto Repair, Supercheap Auto Parts, Bob Jane T-mart and Coles, along with a Gun Shop, Bottle Shop and Fast Food contained within one store.
Walmart keeps everything low priced via a business model which 1) pays low wages 2) make everyone who is not critical to the operation casual workers (reducing benefits) and 3) large volume turnover. On a positive side, Walmart employs a lot of disabled people.
Consequently, it attracts a very broad demographic, especially low income people who Australian's would consider to be "Bogan-ish". There is a website dedicated to these types of people (
http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/).
At our Walmart, there tends to be a more of a middle-class demographic due to proximity to better neighborhoods, a university and a lot of Cowboys.
