Wal-Mart

16 years ago

A very loud, ill kempt, mean-acting woman walked into Wal-Mart with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

The Wal-Mart Greeter said pleasantly "Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Lovely children you have there. Are they twins?"

The foul mouthed woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "Hell no they ain't. The oldest one's 9 and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?"

"I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am," replied the greeter."I just couldn't believe you actually got laid twice." "Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart."

I may very well be the only person who posts here who has NEVER set foot in a Wal-Mart in my entire life. There is not one in the District and I would surely not go out of my way to go to the 'burbs. We have one Home Depot, which is accessible by the subway, and that is bad enough.

When will you all say that "Enough is enough" and demand better products?

Lowes and WalMart Bulbs
Q

Here is the last of the Walmart bulbs in bloom. It just bloomed this week. I think this one is Amigo. Although I confess I did not label my Walmart bulbs. The red is really deep. The photo doesn't do it justice really. It's a true red, not the orange tinge that is reflected in the photo. It got two flower scapes and they both bloomed at the same time. So it really packs a punch.

anyone try the Wal Mart hostas?
Q
Comments (14)
I'm glad you weighed in as well, Phil. I was wondering about the potted WM version... they had some Halcyon and Blue Angel and I think a couple of other thick-leaved (=slug resistant) varieties for less than $8 that I wondered about. I may go back and get a couple. I think the ones I bought last year (Francee, So Sweet, another one Gold something) - and put in a spot the $75 landscaping lady called "perfect for hostas" but turned out to be too sunny because they all seemed to get burned periodically - will be moved to a *very* shady spot this week, and I want something big and slug-resistant to go along with them. The Halcyon and BA looked nice the other day. If they look nice the next time I look, I'll get a couple.

Wal-Mart ColorPlace?
Q
Comments (19)
We have used Wal-mart Colorplace paint for many years-- 7 or 8 house remodels over the years. I have loved it and recommended it to everyone ,until now! August 2021 -- we have used three coats of bright white semi-gloss over light green and it still won't cover. What have they done?? It is stringy and flies everywhere-- It is horrible!! I will never recommend it again. It is totally different and what a disappointment after all these years and gallons we have used.

Really like my Wal Mart

You know, Walmart and other large companies create a lot of jobs that require little to no training,education, or experience. You cant expect them to offer 6 figures a year to a cashier or a stocker. No one is forced to work there. I am willing to bet that the vast majority of those employees that rely on government help to make ends meet are unmarried women with children. That is a tough (though largely preventable) circumstance. But you cant expect Walmart or anyone else to raise the pay of unskilled workers to more than what that job is worth to support the life you WANT. These jobs and others like them, such as fast food,etc that are screaming for 15 bucks an hour minimum because they need it used to be for kids to earn extra money and learn basic job skills. Now that adults are taking them over, there is this argument that the companies must raise the wage to support an adult lifestyle,including a family. That's insane and shows a level of entitlement that borders on vulgar. Walmart is not the problem here.

Thanks Rosie - that's why I brought it here so others could have a laugh like I did. I guess you need to be one of the millions that go to Wal-Mart now and then, or often when it is so close to where you live - 2km from me! in those dreadful burbs, so to speak.:) I guess if you do not go, you would not appreciate the humour in the last line......or that you just cannot take a joke! Rosie, glad you appreciated it too! :)

Yes, funny joke. Don't you just wish you could come up with a great response like that some time!
I was in the garden section of Wallyworld one day and some employees left the pa system on. They were angry and grumbling about their jobs and didn't know it could be heard outside. Too funny--and for real.
I used to be embarassed to go there, but I don't care anymore. The have my favorite doggie poop bags, and other stuff I can't find elsewhere. I was anti-Borders, too for a while and now go there all the time. Love that Seattle coffee, too.

Actually my hubby said he would never step foot in the store when it came to Canada several years' ago - now he goes often and buys some groceries because they are so cheap and we get all our bird feed and seed from there.

Bwahaha! That is funny. Pretend it's in Dublin and you can post it on that hilarious site I mentioned (I've about read every post now). overheardindublin.com Or not.

Thanks for the chuckle ;)

Funny how different the walmarts can be. In south OC, they have some fancy ones. No Mc. Donald's in thoes. It feels just like a Target store. They have some things you won't find in the lower rent area walmarts. Another Walmart in a higher priced area in North OC has a beautiful garden department and the store always looks perfectly clean and well stocked. In a lower income area just 15 minutes away by freeway, the kids run wild, aisles are a mess. Shoppers crash you with their carts and the sales people look as though they're on their last nerve. It just depends on which walmart you go to.
