I was in Walmart this evening. I go in there about once every 6 months
for something they sell that costs 4X as much elsewhere. At the register, the register operator called over the front end manager. She whispered something in his ear. Hmm, thinks I, have I overstepped the limit on my credit card (no, its paid off monthly)? Has their Xray scanner sensed the box opener in my pocket? Do they think my bottle of water is an explosive? I was wearing a nice t-shirt that has a royal coachman embroidered into it, with the words "Bite Me" over the top. The manager asked me "not to wear that t-shirt into their store again. Some may consider it offensive." I was gobsmacked. Speechless. I nodded assent and left. Only on the way home did the clever rejoinders come to mind. I think I wear it in there tomorrow. Any ideas?

I recently had to stop my son in law and friends from skeet shooting on my
property They bought the targets from Walmart because it was cheap. Marked all over the box was Toxic To Animals We have dogs, deer, goats and who knows what else running around I had him return it of course! With a giant lecture! I wanted to shov e it down SamWalton's throat but he already did the world a service and he died! He is luckily still dead! What a thoroughly disgusting outfit Wal-Mart is!

I recently had to stop my son in law and friends from skeet shooting on my
property They bought the targets from Walmart because it was cheap. Marked all over the box was Toxic To Animals If my senility is not worse than I think it is, boxes of clay birds said that many years ago, before we ever heard of Walmart. The blame for that should be placed on the manufacturers, not Walmart. The PA Game Commission has a shooting range near here, where lots of people break gazillions of clay birds (most of them when they hit the ground after being missed). That range is in teh center of a deer and turkey hunting area. It appears that wild animals, and probably dogs, cats, and birds, have no interest in consuming the clay birds, which have all the appetizing qualities of a hunk of mud. Seems to me I've heard that hogs will eat them, but not many hogs reside where people shoot targets. All this is not intended to defend Walmart. But if you really want to get mad, get mad at Big Pharma, which has been gouging all of us severely for many years. Far worse than the oil companies. vince |
