Why I love Walmart

So the title should actually be why I hate Walmart, but don't we all hate Walmart?

My husband and I went to Walmart the other day and he told me on the way home, he's not taking me there anymore because I get angry everytime I leave. And it's not because of dumb employees or the fact that they don't pay health insurance or they are taking jobs from smaller businesses... but because of the people that shop there!

- We were in the self check out line and the people in front of us were paying with a credit card. When it asked for a signature they let their 2 year old up on the bag holder and she signed it. The poor checker didn't know what to do, trying to tell these imbreds that the handwriting a 2 year old is not a valid signature. Of course they acted like they didn't even hear him, dumb asses!

- People who go through the self check-out line line with three shopping carts. I think the purpose of the self check-out is for a quick check-out and if you have three shopping carts full that is not quick!

- Not knowing what brand or flavor of Nicorette you want! We were in line at the only cigarrette check-out (not that we smoked it just looked the shortest) and the guy at the front of the line was asking the checker for a brand they didn't even sell. And instead of walking the 3 feet down the aisle to point out which one he'd like to try he was trying to direct her from the front of the line! So she went back and forth about 8 times. Finally everyone in the line was yelling out which one he wanted.

- I was trying to find a parking place at Walmart, some of the lanes are only one way lanes. You know with the big yellow arrow pointing in the direction parking and cars need to go. I hate when I go up or down the aisle (the right way) and someone not paying attention to the arrow comes up and our cars don't fit and they give me the look like I'm going the wrong way. Don't they notice the parking spaces are all going the other direction?

Well that's all for now, I'll keep my eyes open for more dumb people that shop at Wal-mart.

Yep, if you're ever bored, just go to Wal-Mart, sit back and watch the show. Something is bound to happen.

I hate the self checkout lanes because no one is ever on duty to help you when the damn thing says "please see attenant for verification", or "please remove item from bag and wait for cashier", or "i'm sorry you're a complete idiot...please continue to wait while the blinking light above you swirls around and around for 25 minutes until a manager comes to help."

i hate wal-mart.
