That was hilarious!

Wal Mart is bad... e-vil, like the fru-its of the de-vil.

Your description was right on the money. I hate Walmart, yet I find myself there on a regular basis buying coffee and shelf paper. Where else can you roll out of bed, go, and look like a damn beauty queen?

It seems that THE place to be on a saturday night is the parking lot of our local Evil Empire. At least that's where all the skinny people are hanging out. All the stretch-panted fatties like moi are inside shopping.

I had to get a new hand mixer last night at 9 pm. Be afraid, be very afraid...

I do know of one Walmart around me. As far as I know, there might not be another one in all of Toronto (but I doubt it).

WalMart...agh...ex-husband's idea of a rilly, rilly great place to go whilst on snowboarding vacation was...WalMart. I wish I were jesting. If that was my only beef, I'd be stopping in for emergency toilet paper runs and suchlike. But the union-busting, illegal hiring practices, monopolistic business model, and mistreatment of its employees makes shopping there icky. Yet there's a part of me that sees Xat at 76, no pension, no healthcare, working for dogfood at the front door of WalMart as a greeter. Ugh. *grin* Fantabulous entry, darlin'.

I'm against all large corporate entities consuming the world - except for Starbucks 'cause otherwise you can't get a decent cup of coffee in Asia.

Here in Fargo Moorhead there are currently two Wally World's. The one closest to me was recently converted into a Super Walmart. What I thought was hysterical is when they had the grand reopening they were giving away free knives (like the kind you would peel and apple with), and when they would announce it they would be all just come get a free knife, then a few minutes later somebody else would come on, get a free knife for those over 18. But I skipped the freebie, when I saw you had to listen first to some Ginsu wannabe try and sell the whole set.

I don't understand the Walmart and the line up of people. This was very fascinating to me.

I'w with Gump. WTF? People are getting upset because they weren't the first customer? The decline of western civillazation. Funny. I always thought it would virtual sex machines, but I guess i am wrong.

That thingy isn't a screw driver or meat tenderizer....it's a, um a Martial Aid. Have fun.

You sure there isn't a screw off top or bottom to that? It should have some bits for it. I'd take it back and cause a huge scene.

Wow. Four. I'm speechless.

A marital aide, Andy? Hmm, it is ribbed. Yee haw!! :-)

Walmarts are like the pods of Invasion of the Body Snatchers... they move in with stuff that mesmerizes people who all get in line and carry more stuff around to mesmerize other people who get in line and... except they leave us with emotions, so maybe they're not just like the pod-people... I like your mind :)

I vowed over a decade ago never to set foot in a Wal-mart, thanks to your essay (BTW, hilarious!), keeping that vow has become even easier. Thanks
