Clean-up in aisle 666

Wal-mart is hell. This comes as no news to most intelligent people, and most of us know better than to frequently shop there. However, fate and value-shopping get the best of all of us every now and then and we must sheepishly enter into the world of filthy linoleum. Upon doing so, we are usually instantly reminded WHY we don't shop at Wal-mart frequently.

Wal-mart is like Satre's hell. It is made by other people, both employees and customers. Feel free to discuss them here.


The Extremely Lazy/Snarky Latina cashier- Usually seen talking to an equally snarky latina employee in motor-mouth slang Spanish. Looks at you disdainfully as come up to check out and interrupt their conversation. Drawls out every last word of the sentence "Will this be alllllll?" or "I can help jouuuu?" Is about two steps away from slapping you, ese. Why you look at her that way?

The Mute- The cashier who is crushingly depressed to be working at Wal-mart and doesn't hide it. Doesn't say hello, ask you if that will be all, and avoids eye contact. "Service with a smile"? Not here, chief.

Sheila McJiggletits, trailer park mom- She spends all day sitting around watching Maury while eating vienna sausages and Zebra Cakes and she wants YOU to know it. Hence the bra-less halter top which barely contains her various layers of fat which jiggle hypnotically as she retrieves a package of Wal-mart brand pork from the freezer.

I can never find a parking spot at Wal-Mart simply due to the plethora of idiots that don't know how to park correctly and those who walk in the middle of the parking lot aisle to get to and from their cars. It usually takes a good 2 minutes before I get pissed off and go to K-Mart (which is farther away and explains why I try Wal-Mart first).

Inside is the same story. Crowded and congested. Can't stand it sometimes. There are so many people moving through the aisles that most get pissed off if you stop your cart in the aisle to look at something.

I used to go whenever my parents were going, it is indeed a hellish and scary place but they have some great movies in the discount bins.

I'll shop at the Wal Mart Supercenters once in a while.

It's a thousand times better than any K-Mart.

I hate that they just dump all the cheap dvds into a bin. I hate digging through it to find a dvd to buy. Can't they just have their $5.99 DVDs on a rack or shelf or something, like Best Buy does?

Wal-mart is the closest thing to an evil incarnate you'll find in this world. As such, I have sworn off giving them a cent of my money for the remaining duration of my life. No mean feat for a college student, but I will persevere!

I gotta give Wal-Mart credit where credit is due. Without them I would have never seen Showdown in Little Tokyo and Top Dog.

i just got back from Wal Mart recently, and I am glad to say that I waited for 25 minutes in the express line at 10:30 pm while every single one ofthe five people in front of me had some sort of mental break down at the counter. My favorite was the woman who panicked because she lost her husband and child for 3 minutes even as they stood in the next aisle in plain view.

My big problem with Walmart is not the tards who go ther because I am used to them/ one of them. My problem is the lack of squirt guns. What the fuck happened to super soaker? I wanted to blow a shitload of money on a squirt gun that i would mount in my pick up truck and use to lay waste to my little brother.

I went to Wal-Mart to get the EE of TTT cause it was cheap there. I got to the movie section and I asked an employee in a wheelchair where I could find "The Two Towers Extended Edition."

I got the impression from my friend that this was not a good person to ask, but I think alot of customers were avoiding this employee because she was wheelchair-bound. She was seemingly the only employee who was not busy. I think it's great to hire handicapped people when they are capable of doing the job, but I was really surprised to find that this employee did not have a clue what I was talking about. I got a blank stare, seriously, before she wheeled over to the desk to ask or look it up or something.

I went around the corner and there was a fucking entire shelf of them. Maroon boxes from top to bottom. It had been out a couple days. It had to be a hot item. Pretty sad.

H.E.B. is a great chain of grocery stores. Funny this: It is named for the late owner Herbert E. Butt. H.E.B. offers its own brands for certain popular products at cheaper prices. Their version of Dr. Pepper is called "Dr. B." Have you ever had a refreshing Dr. Butt? I have.

You can get that at the supermarket I go to on Queens Boulevard. And on 71st and Continental. And on 67th Avenue. And out at the Woodhaven mall...

God, I'd love a Walmart around here. We get so ripped off at stores in NYC - the fucking overhead is so high, all the stores are these teensy little places with no variety because they can't afford to be any bigger. You want peanutbutter? Okay, here's your choice - Skippy or Jif. You want toothpaste? Crest or Colgate. I mean, there's just nothing in the way of normal stores. I have to go visit my sister in Pennsylvania to get the luxury of skipping merrily through the big wide, Kansas-sized aisles of the local Super Walmart. I'm truly pathetic - the minute my nephew mentions, "Mom, I'm running to Walmart to get...", I'm out of the chair like a dog who just heard the words "Goin' Bye-Bye". "Me me me, take me, I never get to go to Walmart!"

Wal-Mart after midnight is a very scary place.

However, if anyone should need to remake Freaks, the location/cast is easily found.

That's why I do self check out. Never have to worry about shitty cashiers. And the only Wal-Marts that I go to are the Superstore, or whatever they are called, because I can get my groceries way cheaper there that at any Albertsons/Kroger/Tom Thumb around.

I had a little rhyme growing up about HEB.

H-E-B!
H-E-B!
The place to go when you're poor and you're h-u-n-g-r-y.

For the most part I have hated self checkout. But since Wal-Mart installed them, I love the damn things.

I don't get how people say that Wal-Marts are cheap. Nine times out of ten, they end up being the most expensive place where I live by at least a dollar or two.


Except on beef jerky, NASCAR crap and hunting paraphenalia. I was going to pick up the Two Towers EE DVD there, but they had for what they called a "set price" of $31.99 and they weren't going to lower it. So, I headed over to Best Buy and got it for $26.

Hate Wal-Mart, love Target. And, yes...no air conditioning in Florida is like having sex with a zombie. It's moist, sticky and all around not that pretty.
