It just seems like they're on the same level as pawns shops, check cashing stores and car title loan companies.
I'm glad you finally got approved for a store card. I hope you treat it well, it grows and you improve your credit situation.
I force myself to go to WalMart for beer, soda, and name brand stuff that's cheaper than the grocery store. I know I save money but I hate the shopping experience.
I really hope the mods dont touch your post(note, I said hope, I dont mean to suggest to them hat to do), because while I partiallly agree with the painted on eyebrows and kids running amuck, I think sites like peopleofwalmart or whatever it is called are based on people looking to build their own self esteem by knocking others down. While some of the atmosphere can by miildly annoying, it's a store that has many things I want on occasion, and generally has the best prices. Heck, if I ever buy a camper they will let me squat in their lot!
EDIT: Theyre also adding some organic produce, as well as some healthier eating options....things like Sea Salt, and I think even my Himalayan Salt(the best, by far, even though I avoid salt for the most part). Like AMEX, they are reaching out to try to vend to additonal markets, and I find that great!
When I'm out of town on business, and my hotel has booted me out for the day, I often post up in their lot, get what I need, and use the restroom if necessary. Theyve served me well in many cities.
When it's cheaper for an epic drive than to fly, I have TWICE blown a tire, and being I purchased tires from them, they replaced them for FREE(maybe a tiny nonimal fee) when I was out of state. Once it happened in Wisconsin, and I had to put the donut tire on in a driving rain. I was near the border and rode the donut to Iowa. They took me in and made me dessert. JK, thats from that Down Under song. But while I was there, yeah I did stock up on supplies. In Wisconsin, I just told my Garmin(yeah I alternate with good) "Walmart", and it found me the closest one, which wasnt far. So mock all you want(I'm not just saying you, many people do!), but their ubiquitous nature has saved me more than once.
As for the women, yeah sure, but there certainly are some that caught my eye in there too, and I'd wager many are friendlier than in your more uppity establishments.
And to be a little more on topic, the credit from Synchrony is great. 
When I have a large purchase to make, emergecy or otherwise, my large SL makes it so that my utilization is still rather low. At the very least, people who think that way about the "peopleofwalmart"(ive also seen much more enjoyable photos from walmart posted elsewhere online lol) can get a self-esteem boost when they walk in.
Lets at least try to temper such posts with whatever good you can say, because folks writing these obviously had something that drew you in, right? Maybe it was the Synchrony credit?(trying to tie this back in). #CreditSolutionsFTW!

Now that you FINALLY have that "in" with them, you could be in store for bigger and better things from them.
Don't even be put off if your first CLI happens to turn out to only be $100. I been through that before and said What?
They function like all lenders on their own level so make the best use of it, PIF, rinse and repeat etc. and look to add another synchrony card or cards along the way for best results long term.
They also go off of your TransUnion FICO Score and monitor it like a hawk, so whatever you can do to raise that number (little or a lot) just make all the effort on that you can for more results down the road with them.
I can tell you from experience that it took me over a year before they loosened up with decent SP CLI's but when i seen they did i also added their bank brand cards and everything took off like a rocket after that.
Hope it helps you along the way. They seem to help raise limits sooner than when i first started so best of luck and CONGRATULATION!!!!
Thank you for the info it will def help me along the way. Thank you so much
