So, I know you shop at Walmart(s)*. i mean everyone HAS to shop at Walmart(s). If they put a "Super Center" in your town, then everything else will disappear and all that you have left is Walmart(s). Groceries, Non-perishables, drugs, garden supplies, automotive, office, veterinary, optical, dental, etc., etc., etc.
I have noticed in my many travels to the Walmart(s) that there are never enough checkout lines. I know, you and everyone you know has made this observation and the ambiguous comments that follow. Lets take it to the next level though. Ever notice the "manager" type persons standing behind the entrance to the registers with the mysterious, movable desks. You know who I am talking about. The twenty-something kids with the Walmart(s), clean-cut, just showered, cruise town, all I want to do it pay my car note and the insurance, 11th grade look... THoSE people!
As I waited inline tonight at the local Walmart(s), I noticed these people don't have a clue. They remind me of the last of the do do birds from the movie "Ice Age." They are really worried about the way the look, the placement of their radio, the store gossip and the people that pass. unfortunately they are blithering idiots when it comes to the fact that there are 75 people waiting to check out and THEY ONLY HAVE 4 CHECKOUTS OPEN!!! And 2 of those are the express lanes (20 items or less). Finally, the Big Boned gal in front of me has eaten all the candy in her "snickers" snack bag and decides to get mad. These "managers" scurry around, much like that of the 3 Stooges when the fire alarm rings, and presto, a new checker. So ensues the Checkout preparaion routine. Yeah, the insertion of the cash drawer, the logging in of the checker and the positioning of the blue vest and subsequent repositioning of the 300+ buttons on the vest. Finally, 25 minutes later I get my 21 items checked out, swipe my debit card, input my PIN and get the hell out of there...
Walmart(s)...you get everything at discount, the help doesn't want to help and is always grumbling why the have to be there, why they have to help you and how it's everyone elses fault. Then when you do need something (checkout), there is never enough... Yep, clear representation of our current society!
Anyway, thats how I see it!
