People of Walmart

I love that site. I even feel the urge to contribute.

 

Space alien indeed. Visit any Walmart - anywhere - late at night or first thing in the morning. There's some things wandering the isles that I'm not entirely convinced belong on this planet.

 

You can pretty much count on seeing these things in WalMart:

1. A saggy old bag with one foot in the grave greeting people at the door
2. A frighteningly obese person rolling through the isles on a motorized cart
3. A pizza-faced kid working in the electronics section
4. Someone you know
5. A screaming brat getting the shit slapped out of him by his parent
6. Something that looks like it was spawned in a nuclear waste dump
7. Somebody wearing something you wouldn't be caught dead in

 

That sounds like a list of seven most popular USA character classes. Hope the redneck will be available in the expansion pack.

Oh and by the way, don't even try telling me this isn't awesome:

 

I've seen them all plus more.

 

That about sums it up.

 

My girlfriend's parents are trying to prevent her from taking Psychology at the University of Waterloo, hoping she follows the family tradition of working at Wal-Mart.

Can't make this shit up.

 

The worst part is that they're all Newfoundlanders. They should despise Wal-Mart with every core of their being.

 

I possess a strong, burning hatred for walmart. Their business practices are horrid.

 

Can't forget the middle aged lady in a bathrobe and foot warmers. I can't be the only one that has ever seen that in a store.

 

That may be true, but you've got to admit: they've got low prices. I may be a bigger fan of Fred Meyer, but I'm gonna shop where I can get the best bargain. Besides, we don't have Fred Meyer in the South. So WalMart it is!

 

The lower prices come at the cost of the exploitation of some child worker. You might as well kick a little boy in the balls. Or mass murder a labor union.

Wal-Mart's business practices are enough for me to steer very clear of them. Their habit of destroying the economy in small towns is not worth a bargain of any sort.

 

Meh, the small-business owners can get jobs at WalMart. And if you're going to take a stand against child labor, you're just about going to have to hand-make all your clothes.

 

The exploitation of others is a time honored business tradition. It could be worse. We could pay full price with them still being exploited or even not paid that hard earned dollar wage. Honor their sacrifice and buy "made for children by children" label.
