Ugh. I live in Walmart’s orbit (northwest Arkansas) and can say with a large amount of certainty that this is just about cute woodland creatures. For one, we’re pretty outdoorsy here, we’re surrounded by state parks and deer prowl the streets of Bentonville. I’ve had owls in my back yard. Add to that a general naïveté that permeates this area (it’s been like Mayberry forever and the population is heavily Christian, and I’d even include their low level graphic designers in this group). It’s only been since the opening of Crystal Bridges that we’ve started getting hipsterized a little bit but there’s still a long ways to go before stinky uncool Walmart or anything to do with it gets accepted by the elites. I know it’s hard to believe but for the most part still just basic ‘Mericans out here.
