Profanity filled Wal-Mart rant......part 3,193

Why do you people go to Wal-Mart at all?

Theoretical convenience?
 
I often also characterize people at Wal-Mart as fat because I swear, most of the fattest most disgusting people I've ever seen have been at Wal-Mart. And they either never change clothes, or they change into their shirttiest stuff to go to shopping.

It would almost be fun to bring a chair, kick back and watch the herds pass, but of course there's no forking room to sit anywhere, let alone stand or move with a cart either in their narrow aisles or between all their damn displays set up in the middle of the main concourses selling cheap, worthless shirt.

I hate Wal-Mart, and I only shop there when I absolutely have to. I know Target's not much different in terms of business model, but I swear, it's like a whole different world most of the time.

One of my sisters is fat, retarded and goes to Wal-Mart, Chef. I want an apology now.

I'll do this the way I saw it on a license plate the other day;

It's the only place I can buy condoms at 2 a.m.

That's awesome, dude. I'll pass the apology next time I visit her at the group home. She'll probably think she knows you, too. It'll be glorious.

I like the store. I think it's great scenery for boring days.
 
Why do I go to Wal-Mart?

1. Convenience. I can get nearly everything I'm going to need in one stop. I can buy personal items, groceries, slippers, a cooler and new tires in one place. Handy.

2. Cost. If I were to go to the mom and pop stores to get all that, I'd easily spend twice as much. I know. I went to the local grocery, where it's twice as much. I tried Fresh Market. I've looked. Nothing's going to beat Wal-Mart.

3. Who cares about customer service? Who ever has to talk to anyone at Wal-Mart? I get what I want, I get in line, I give a cursory nod to my checkout person, I swipe my card, I'm out. The end. Know what you're doing and you're fine.

4. I don't give a shirt about "doing my part" to help small businesses. If they can't compete with the market, then too forking bad. Pick a different business to go into.

In my part of America, and I never thought these words would be strung together ever, Walmart is the lesser of many evils.


I'd head to Target, but the closest one (15 miles away) doesn't have a grocery. Of the three closest grocery stores, two are crappy because they aren't in a affluent part of town and the third is small-town crappy. They closed the two closest grocery stores because they couldn't compete with Walmart.
The nearest good grocery stores are 20 miles away, the nearest Publix is an hour round-trip and the nearest Fresh Market or Whole Foods -- well, as much as I love going there, Big Oil is eating up all my disposable income to shopping there.
Occasionally, I'll go to Costco, but only after a payday. The $100 trips have turned into $150 -- plus gas.
