I think Walmart should start a subscription video site, where ALL the videos are from the surveillance cameras: the funny shit that happens in Wally Worlds across the county. So many possibilities with that! I mean, on Black Friday alone, you'd have enough content to keep it going for a year. Every holiday season you read about fist fights and incidents of elderly men being trampled by herds of 300 pound women stampeding toward 99 cent dish towels... marked down to 49 cents. My mother gets her prescriptions at Walmart. While she's in there, I wait (safely) in the car. It's great. Just like going to a human zoo... and no entry ticket is required! :nanner:
But even as I make fun of Walmart, several years ago I flew to a location and Screaming Baby Airlines lost my luggage. So the only clothes I had was what I was wearing. That night I drove to a local Wally World to get enough to tide me over til they found my luggage. Dude, I got a shirt for $5 (marked down from $8 :1orglaugh) that was almost identical to one I got from L.L. Bean for almost $40! I wore it (and my new $16 slacks) to the plant and it was damn comfortable and looked nice. So before I left, I drove back and bought five or six more of them. Hell, the same Pakistani woman is sewing all this shit for all these companies anyway. Might as well get it for as cheap as possible.
Walmart has killer prices. But for discount big box stores, I like Target better. It doesn't have that trailer park feel that most Walmarts seem to.
