I don't know why people keep picking on walmart in particular. It's
no different than the supermarket chains, or any other large chain.


Plus, back stab receptacles have been around a lot longer than Wal-mart
has.


Sure but the discussion involves poor quality. Take a look at the older
version of a lot of stuff and the current version.


Cheesy has always been around. You just don't remember it, because all
the junk has been thrown away. It's the same old "they don't build them
like they used to," when the fact is that only the excellent homes
survived long enough for a comparison. There was a lot of crap that
fell down decades ago. It's why we have building codes.
