The fact that you were at wall-mart says it all. Any time I feel like dipping my toe into the filthy puddle that is humanity I always go to Wall-Mart. Only there can you see the crackerest red neck rubbing elbows with snooty rich bicthes (how snooty can they be if they're shopping wall mart I ask) The fat chicks in spandex always seem to be drawn there like moths to a flame:good for a good laugh(I CANNOT believe they go out in public like that...... don't they see the looks they get?) Once I knew a fat chick who thought that she looked GOOD in tight spandex, maybe she thought that all those looks were stares of admiration; little did she realize that they were simple stares of bafflement (sp?) and revulsion. Generally though, I try to stay away from that store; it just kinda makes me feel dirty.
Everyone shops at Walmart. No matter how rich or snooty. I have seen pics of the biggest celebrities coming out of Walmart. I am sure if you are Madonna- you pay someone else to shop. Here it is the best grocery store. Sure I can avoid it by going to ...Petco, then Publix, then a pharmacy, then Target, ... I love Walmart--- and hate it. It gives me hate fuel.
You can get your taxes done, your hair cut, your oil changed, your eyes checked, have a meal, fill your prescriptions, buy yahtzee, a television, support hose, bleach, a birthday cake and frozen pizza all in the same place if you wanted to. Am I missing a service?
ours will have a temp photo studio some times and it has a chiropractor entrance door on the outside. And some glasses place like Lenscrafters. I wanted to take a picture and post it when I first moved here in 2005 it looks like an upscale place actually one of the managers told me it was one of the first pilot stores like that. There is a McDonald's just down the street with all granite floors with Granite and Mahogany walls, Same wood trimmed ceilings but with tin tiles instead of granite and crystal chandeliers. Its crazy I tripped out when I first went in had to go to the bathroom to look and it was the same there. I went home and told my wife to get dressed up nice I was taking her to an upscale Scottish place to eat. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_/ai_65297388 http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/retail/2006-03-22-walmart_x.htm
I have 2 Walmarts ... both have photo studio, nail salon, jewelry repair shop, tax place, and eye docs. One has McDonalds, the other one has Subway. You forgot to add... have extra keys made, mix paint to match stuff. speaking of food places in stores... My Target has a little cafeteria area. One day when I was pregnant..like 8.5 months. I went target to grab a gift certificate for a friends B-day. My phone was dead dead.... so it was charging in the car...and I knew it was charged enough to work while I was on my 5 minute Target trip. I run inside, get the certificate, pee.... and come out and can not find my car AT ALL. I waddled up and down every inch of the parking lot. Crying...with no cell phone. Go inside call the police, they came out took my report. Asked if I wanted a ride home, I said NO. I called my husband from the store, and waited for 3 hours till he could come get me after work. I sat in that cafeteria crying and being comforted by several old people that hang out there. Then my husband walks in... with a MAD face. He said "I had to come in the RV because you have my car today- and I could not call you"... he was so pissed, thinking his car was stolen ooooooooooooo it hit me, I was in HIS car, and it was parked outside. duh. Mine was getting detailed - getting ready for the baby. All the old people I had been sobbing to in the cafeteria came outside and was laughing their asses off. He was so happy it was not his car but pissed that he had to come for nothing, he took his keys from me, and made me drive the work RV. back to the topic of food places in stores... I learned that day that that is where old people hang out. They all knew each other, when one would leave... they all said "See you tomorrow"... I was wondering if all of them are like this? or is it just mine? Other then the fear of a stolen car- I had a great time talking to them. I normally do not like old people, but the old people at Target were funny and cool. So add geriatric day care to the list... I now notice old people hanging out at the McDonalds at Walmart just like the cafe in Target.
Dammit... Are y'all still bitching about shit? I fucking hate it when people keep bitching... And let me tell ya something else...
We have 4 of the 'supah' walmarts within about 15 minutes of each other. They all have McDonalds, Nail Salons, Eye Glasses, Photo Studio, Auto Express center, and grocery store. The original one was a small one, and after they built all the new ones they expanded it into a supah. We have 2 Targets, the original expanded after they built the supah target. It has the cafeteria, and a starbucks. The other one is next to our first Kohls, which wasnt as impressive as I was lead to believe. I hate it when......You are pushing your buggy through a store and someone steps in front of you and just stops. I just hit them with the buggy.
Must be some kind of walmart syndrome. Used to be walmart bragged about being "American" when Sam Walton was alive, no mention of that anymore. The smiley face has evolved into their sunburst thing and will probably evolve into a chinese star. IO agree with you, people are focking rude nowadays. I have boiled that sentiment down to "I hate people"
I remember a time when you were SOOOO embarrassed to go to Walmart. It was shameful in my school age 13-to like 15. If you were at Walmart and you ran into someone from school ... you would panic. And people would rag on each other "haha you bought that at WALMART" I guess kids are still the same. My nephews will not wear a shirt unless it has a mall store logo on it ie... Gap, Areopostal, Abercrombie, American Eagle, Banana republic, or skater brand names... I hate crap like that. I understand wanting to wear nice shirts...but when it has to have the name ON the front, or the symbol - that is stupid. My parents had money... more then most of my friends parents, yet I loved the junk store clothes. Still do. I had no idea that my Arab's shirts cost so much- he likes the brand with the little alligator on it. I found a receipt yesterday while cleaning, from where he bought 6 shirts, belt, 2 pairs of socks, and some shorts (back in August) at a store named Lacoste... I wanted to puke. His total was 2x more then what I paid for my first car....and the 4 of the shirts were on sale. SO my hate for today is - dorks that pay big money for a name brand.
Y'kno what really pisses me off? When these young couples think it's so fucking cute to walk down an aisle of *any* store, while holding hands. Keep it single-file, folks, so that others can pass without running you over.
I was at Walmart yesterday. I bought some of their cheap body wash and lotion and I actually love it. I picked up some Rice Crispy Treats, but put them back. Now I wish I would have bought them. I put them back because the local Walmart bakery people are scary. Of the three Walmarts around here, only one of them doesn't make me feel as seizuery. It has darker floors and skylights.
I met my last boyfriend at Walmart. He was picking up some McGraw cologne and he accidentally sprayed me in the face. Maybe it was on purpose, I dont know. Anyway I grabbed some Parfum de coeur aeresol knock off shit and blasted him back with it. We laughed and traded our neighbors telephone numbers and I stole the Mcgraw cologne for him and he stole the celebrity imposters trio gift set for me.
