BOYCOTT WALMART
Today I was given yet another reason to boycott the atrocity that is WALMART. It was a lovely sunday afternoon and I was on a mission. I had to buy a few food items, purchase Frisky snacks, and get two rolls of quarters to do my laundry. I took my crisp 20 dollar bill from the cross-eyed-missing-toothed cashier and headed straight to the customer service desk. Now, I know what goes on behind a customer service desk as I worked behind one for almost three years at Walmart's competitor, the quickly dying giant called Kmart.
I politely asked the granny cashier, "can I please get two rolls of quarters?"
My response: "Nope, we don't DO that anymore. It's costs MONEY to do that."
UMMMMmmmmMMMM.....???? How the hell do I respond to that? I hate Walmart with the fury of a hundred thousand horny hornets. All I need to do is switch over my medication refills and I'm GONE. NO MORE WALMART. I HATE THEE.
Then we almost got run over in the parking lot by none other than a soccer mom in her stupid little van trying to get the best parking spot closest to the door. Trust me sister, with an ass that large, you could definetly use a few extra yards walking in the parking lot. She even had the audacity to stare at us like we were the morons. Booo!
Damn, all this bitching got my appetite running. Time to feast!

I've also disliked Walmart for some time. My reasons range from their business practices regarding treatment of workers and treatment of suppliers to the fact that there's usually too many stupid people there and I always seem to get pissed off every time I'm in the store.
10:50 PMThey have a very successful (albeit at times questionably unethical) business model) and are very efficient in what they do. To provide their products at such low prices and keep up their business models they have to skimp in areas.
The only reason I can think of that you couldn't get change was that their bank for some reason charges them a small amount to convert cash into change or provide nicely wrapped rolls of quarters. Sounds rather ridiculous though. Even more ridiculous that they can't eat this probably very minimal cost to better server their customers.
The other possibility is that the girl you talked to is just an ignorant lazy ass nugget who didn't want to get you change.
Either way, WALMART SUCKS!
I concur. WalMart does truly suck ass. I try to avoid that place at all costs. I will pay the extra couple bucks to go to Target or ShopKo for all my items. I cannot stand WalMart. Like I have said before, I have 4 fears in life: Heights, drowning, needles and the Mankato WalMart parking lot.
1:14 AMNext to the golf course, it is the only place Im more aggravated after I leave then from when I arrived. They do have some of the worst business practices like Dusty mentioned. Their medical plans are an absolute joke. I really dont want it to go up in Ironwood either, but at the same time, people complain about jobs so much up there about the lack there of, so who is the winner in this one?
What truly sucks is that where I live, Shit-Mart is the only game in town. I'd love to have a Target.
2:08 AMI love Wal-Mart and cannot wait until we get one in Ironwood. I admire their success and hope they one day rule the world. I long for the day when I can actually go to a store and find SOMETHING on the shelf. Long live Wal-Mart.
