A Necessary Evil???
Certainly I'm not the only one on the site that really dislikes Walmart (hate is a strong word but may apply).
This does raise questions for myself, like why? Price, no-they usually have some of the best prices on items.
Convieniece, no-damn theres a Super Walmart 4 blocks from my house, that rules out selection being a problem too.
Employees? Well you have to be careful to not offend people here, I'm sure most have a relative in some form that
works or has worked there (and likes it). I didnt know any until Darth_Chibius took the job as the wardrobe and hygeine
director for the greeters. Bravo Darth, much improved! I really havent had any employee problems, other than trying to
find one when you need to get a popular item thats not displayed other than 12 feet high on a shelf. Whats up wit dat?
Man their return policy is very liberal, pretty much dont need a reciept to return most items. They do have really crappy
gaming acc. and supply area, definately points deducted there, eh?
It seems odd but I will drive miles out of my way and usually pay more money to avoid going there.........strange.
Maybe others can give their reasons but I think the #1 reason I dont like Walmart is: Checkout. After following the male
ritual of wandering aimlessly around their store, covering much of the same ground far to many times and being there
15-45 minutes longer than you thought it would take-you approach: THE CHECKOUT LINE. Yes this is the part that urks
me, 50 freaking check stations- and 5 are open! You people are retards!!!!!!!!! I guess having the largest profit turned of
any company last year (or some statistic like that), profits are met by conservative labor application. *sigh*
sorry about he cobbled sentences, I suck!

Overall, a dismal experience.

Is it irony? Or internally directed sarcasm? Who knows....but one thing is for sure-
I frickin' hate Wal-Mart!

A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into WalMart with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
The WalMart Greeter said pleasantly "Good morning, and welcome to Walmart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?"
The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "Hell no they ain't. The oldest one's 9 and the other one's
7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?"
"I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am,"replied the greeter. "I just couldn't believe you got laid twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at WalMart"
