Perth and I don't shop at Wal-Mart. Years ago, (he'll kill me for saying this) he worked at Sam's. They treated him terribly, so he quit.

One of the walmarts, in this state, took toys out of the toys for tots box and put them back on the shelves. I don't know if it was intentional, but who doesn't know what a toys for tots box is?

And then there is the environment. Usually, the floor is so sticky you can walk up the walls with the extra sticky that gets on your shoes. And people crowd the aisles as if the enormous cheese puff display might disappear if they don't stand in front of it for 10 minutes.

Nobody says "Excuse me." Big pet peeve of mine.

The clerks and stockers look like they would rather be eating walrus dung than working at Wal-mart (who could blame them?)

And then you see those stupid commercials...the people who work there look like normal happy people...there is usually some stupid special effect used to get a really simple message across...buy everything cheap here.

Yeah, they may be cheaper. And I realize that many people rely on the cheap prices to get the things they need. I just can't shop there anymore...I always feel like I have to take a shower when I leave, because the place is such a negative symbol in my mind.

Anyway, sorry to rant
