If you shop at WalMart you are already beyond being humiliated and embarrassed

I was in line about 15 minutes longer than I should have been today, because a crazy lady cut in front of the lady in front of me.


We all kind of looked around at one another, and decided she was to be pitied rather than yelled at, we let it go, and carried on chatting about the holidays. My son had bought candy and lip balm for his new girlfriend, and I was teasing him about how it wasn't an excuse for kissing, and the lady behind me joined in on the ribbing. It was a lovely time, and we all just decided to relax and make the most of an inevitable wait, rather than be miserable.
trying to do that now in every line up, relax be sociable and stay chilly

the response has been good so far, as long as it isn't too hot, then whew it's more difficult

What's with stores cranking up the heat this time of year? I get turning it up a bit, but if I peel my jacket off and still sweat like it was July, I'm gunna get cranky, and likely leave before I buy anything.

You know what stores don't have line ups? Online ones. :D

If I had a job, I would totally shop online. Unfortunately, I can't let myself do that, given I'm a stay at home mom. lol. Then I would LITERALLY just stay at home.

I get annoyed that they have it up at all. Heat should be down in stores in the winter. My family's coats take up the damn cart. Then what?

I think because the clerks freeze their azz off everytime the doors open... but yeah it is wicked in a line up with all the body heat.

I get that but I just really, really hate shopping, lol. I don't have a problem spending money or acquiring things, just with the stores. Lol. And it's just 10X worse at this time of year.

no it's not it's a thousand times worse...I hate it. They should hand out wine and snacks.

I hope he knows that with Christmas coming soon he's going to have to buy more than that if he wants to keep her. ;)
stocking stuffers spammy, they aren't gifts they are extras that end up costing more than the gift if ya get carried away

The guy was probably an a-joke and pain in the ***. Some people think everyone owes them a bargain.

Or the Wal-Mart made up an excuse to get rid of a super sales shopper. Which, frankly, sounds pretty highly likely.

I doubt they care about bargain shoppers, but in the retail business it's the time-bandit belligerent rrs-wholes who cost money.

Marvin Halbert of Birmingham, Alabama is in police custody after Walmart workers found him having “inappropriate relations” with a farm pig in the superstore restroom. Customers reported hearing loud squealing coming from the bathroom in the back area of the store near the layaway department. An eyewitness said her seven-year-old son went in to use the restroom, and came out screaming, “Mommy, mommy is a man in the bathroom holding a pig really close to him!”


Confused, the woman alerted a store clerk and was informed they already had several complaints about noise in the restroom. Raymond Cooper, an employee at the Walmart store, said he was the one that ran in and saved the pig. “When I went into the bathroom, I heard squealing from inside the stall. I told the man to open it but he wouldn’t, so I kicked it in. That crazy *** fool for real was doing a pig. I socked him in the face and grabbed the pig. That fool was out cold.”

Shortly after, the police arrived and took Halbert into custody. According to reports, Halbert just cried saying, “I want my piggy back.” He later told police he had nowhere else to take his pig for alone time. His wife had just kicked them out of the house once she found out this longtime pet was her husband’s “new lover.” Halbert was seen on surveillance camera sneaking into Walmart’s loading dock and slipping undetected into the restroom.


Halbert is currently being charged with indecent exposure and cruelty to animals. They tried to release the pig to his wife Patty, but she refused. The pig, which Halbert called “SnugUm’s” has been placed with the Humane Society for adoption.

I don't go to Walmart often: I usually choose quality over price, sinse it actually saves more money in the long run.

That said, in the few times I have been to Walmart, I was generally well treated. Then again, I'm a pretty easy going customer.

Then again, though I've shopped at Chinese and Canadian Walmarts, I've never shopped at a US Walmart. It seems that's where all the horror stories come from.
