Like many people during the week, Valerie and I make a trip to Wal-Mart every so often to get groceries...let's face it, the prices are to good to pass up. Even with the cheaper prices, we still hesitate to go to Wal-Mart, because it is the worst place on Earth. Here are some reasons:
1. It is always packed and there is usually only 10 of the 40 checkout lanes open. Thanks management and the purpose of the other 30 lanes is? Oh which reminds me, don't you love the people that have an overflowing cart of items and decide it would be best to use the self-checkout lane.
2. There is no common courtesy. Examples...I usually try to keep our cart to the side of the aisle to allow others to pass by. Not at Wal-Mart. The good majority of the people just park their cart right in the middle and let it sit, while they stand to the left or right, taking up more space. Another example is the people that stand at the end of the aisle (blocking anyone from going down) as they decide if there is anything they need. This happened 3 times today to us, including someone trying to figure out how to get a flatten cardboard box to stay in their cart. I almost lost it.
3. It's like a demolition derby with carts. My cart almost got broadsided a couple times and all I got was a staredown like it was my fault. That's when I grabbed some groceries out of the other person's cart and threw them on the ground and walked away.
4. For some reason, women always try to run Valerie over when we shop there. I have no idea, but it happens every time.
Thanks Wal-Mart, thanks a bunch.

Deep breath, count to 10!! But all the reasons you listed are exactly why I avoid Wal-Mart on the weekends.
Got Wal-Mart Rage, Jer???
Sounds like you need to be surrounded by some Midwesterners and their common courtesy and find yourself a local Aldi's!!
A couple helpful hints when forced to enter Walmart (I also hate going to Walmart)...the earlier in the day the better...nobody is there from the hours of 6am until about 9ish am. Also, avoid weekends at all costs. Eat the questionable left-overs in the fridge for another day if you have to. And, maybe your wife gets run over cuz she's so stinking cute and the other women are just jealous? :) Just a thought.
Oh, how I hope your Wal-mart trip is a bit more positive next week :) Thanks for sharing! Jess
im kind of scared to come visit you jer.
so violent.
war publix.
I apologize, but this is what Wal-Mart does to me.
I agree Jer. It doesn't make me angry as much as it makes me question why I used to like it so much. It's always so dirty, you feel as if a cockroach is going to carry your stuff away at any time. Like it used to be a bowling alley at one time or something. I'll go to Wal-Mart (vs Target) on certain supplies, but I always try to get in and get out as I have not updated my Hepatitis B shots.
