The Perils of Walmart Shopping

Walmart is hell. I used to think that my hamlet of Charleroi on Mon was hell, but I was wrong. Walmart, all of them, hell!

Do you want to to know why Walmart turns a profit? It has nothing to do with loads of shoppers coming in and buying all the stuff with prices rolled back and stupid smiley faces everywhere.

No!

Why Walmart turns a profit lies in something more nefarious. More annoying. More time consuming than anything else.

They refuse to let employees work!

Why would you have 30 + registers and only have 10 of them open on a Friday night? A Friday night before a holiday, no less!

That Pisses Me Of

To make matters worse, I had ice cream on my shopping list.

Grrr

All the lines were at least 5 or 6 deep, and there wasn't a buggy that wasn't filled to the brim in any of those lines.

Grrr

And that's just the check out.

Moving through the aisles was just as bad, because the people who were working, were putting up stock.

What business stocks shelves during the busiest time on the weekend!

Mad

So while shopping you trip over other customers, employees and merchandise and then when you are ready to check out...you wait in the line from hell!

After one trip to Walmart, I'm ready for Bedlam!
