For The Troops

Every time I walk into Walmart, I want to kill myself. I've had encounters before, and we all know how much Walmart can suck, but I am getting so fed up with that damn store! All I want to do is get my shit and get out but this NEVER happens. I can't remember ONE TIME that this has happened. The last time I was there, all I wanted was some cleaning products and some toilet paper. Ok, maybe I threw in some health and beauty in my cart too. But does that explain the $96 receipt? That's more than I make in a week!

I have been shopping at KMart a lot more lately. They have really come around with clearance and Easter candy. I also like that you can get through every aisle and they actually have stock in garbage bags. I can't remember my cashier ever being obnoxious or downright rude. (How a cashier says NOTHING to you the entire time you're checking out is still beyond me!)

So, who's with me? Shop at KMart, for the Troops.

I recently discovered (after living here for 8 years) a K Mart by me. It's the most empty store ever. (people-wise) So they always have everything in stock, it's always neat & you can get clearance items that would have normally sold out in another location.
I cannot stand our Walmart, as it is the white trash magnet of the west side. You need flip flops & a wifebeater on just to get in the door.

I totally like Kmart more but we don't have one close anymore.

I grocery shop at Walmart because it's cheaper than the others, so I usually pick up my other stuff there too.

Our Kmart is ghetto. Like not good ghetto. I go there sometimes at lunch to pick up stuff and it's always a mess. Good deals on fat girl clothes though!

I'm not sure what would be "good ghetto".

Maybe that Elvis song.

Surely weaves.

Carmen, speaking of flip flops, I saw two feet wearing them as I was going to the public restroom! This was not in Wal mart but at a sports bar. Is it not too early for this kind of footwear? And not even a toe ring.

It's probably been 3-4 years since I've stepped foot into a Walmart. Target has the same stuff at the same price, it just looks more expensive. Granted, some of their appliances, or handbags, or home decor is more expensive, but on everyday stuff, exactly the same price. Nicer staff, cleaner stores, no wifebeaters allowed.

Plus, Target does not practice sexual discrimination (largest civil lawsuit in US HISTORY!), or strong-arm their suppliers, or run smaller shops out of town.

MrsTito said...

Yeah, but Target smells funny. Hasn't anyone else ever noticed that?

"Good Ghetto" means that you can find stuff on clearance like blond highlights and pants that cover your entire behind. "Not Good Ghetto" means that everything is on the floor in the wrong aisle and the food court sells out of hot dogs every day and there are three different "organizations" outside the doors collecting money.

I have a thing about flip flops. I HATE them with every fiber of my being. I think they are trashy.

And regardless, it's too early.

My Target smells fine. I've never noticed anything weird about the smell! I'll have to smell it next time I go!

Funny thing about flip flops. I remember in Ohio they had dress codes that specified that while sandals without stockings were appropriate on Fridays, but flip flops never were. Here in Florida, you can wear flip flops, even the el cheapos, any day of the week in any office situation. Hell, even my tennis shoes are slides, and they are my only closed toe'd shoe.

I can't describe the smell of Target. It's kind of like burning plastic maybe? My Target now has a Starbucks so it smells delicious instead of funky.

Well if you all did that Im sure you Erites would find something to complain about that too. If all you wanna do is get you sh*t and get out, Than whay do you care if the cashier talks to you or not.

Huh?

Tam said...

C'mon Anon...at least tell me an AMOUNT! I mean the cashier said NOTHING. Think about what Customer Service Represenative means.

ron said...

what's "Erites" mean? is that secret code for super awesome people?

Tam said...

Wait Anon, are you the person wearing the flip flops at Buffalo Wild Wings Thursday night? I didn't mean to offend. I was just getting a consensus on whether or not it might have been a bit early to whip them out.

A nanny since 1996, I'm tired of washing nipples that aren't mine.
