I hate Walmart I just about blew my top in there about 30 min. ago.
There was about 20 people looking for lanes to ge tin, including myself. I went to one of the almighty CSM's. To see if they could open
another( a third one), she said another person was coming in, in a few minutes. I screamed to the top of My lungs" GOOD LAAAWD"
It got pretty quiet. as I walked back to my line the cashier look at me with the look OH MY GOD he is coming to my line.
It is most absurdly said, in popular language, of any man, that he is disguised in liquor; for, on the contrary, most men are disguised by sobriety. ~Thomas de Quincy, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, 1856
I have been boycotting Wal-Mart for several years now - I just won't go in one. They have put too many Mom and Pop stores out of business, and that really torques me.

I think so, just much, much bigger.

I know what you mean. Plus there is a really cute friendly young lady on the checkout at my local Bunnings. They do it deliberately to get single, mature (ahem) men like me into the store. Pathetic, I know... What can I say?
They back you up on purpose so you will reach out and grab some batteries or a magazine or a lighter off one of them shelves they have lined up beside the registers, they're called "impulse racks" for a reason.
Every notice how the candy is displayed knee high? That's eye level to the rug rats to induce what is know as the "scream factor". Mama will buy that candy bar just to shut up the little brat to keep from embarrassing herself further if she cares at all about other people around her.
I once got so mad I just put down what I had on the floor where I stood and walked out. It got to the point where my time overvalued the cheap junk I was going to buy. I avoid them to this day.

you think you hate wal-mart! just have a spouse that works there and all you get to hear in the afternoon is how bad she hates her job. I HATE WAL-MART!
they stole a year of my life! with my faithful enployment. You figure they make billions of dollars a year they could pay more than 7$ an hour and not bitch about you working more that your alloted time to get your job done. It's that sad that all they worry about is the bottom dollar. That just answers what happened to all the manufacturing jobs in america.

Bunnings is another one I have a love hate relationship with
You ever been into the woolworths store that's near me? It doesn't matter what time of the damm day you go in, you normally have to wait 15minutes or so
