Fuck You Wal-Mart.

Your store employees the most retarded of the dumb people. I have never seen a more apathetic group of employees then your “Wal-Mart Team.”

I was shopping for some cheap plastic crap from China last night at your store. I had been there about twenty minutes wandering around putting things in my cart. I wanted to buy a alarm clock that plays cds. But in front of the display was a woman with her two screaming and crying children who were waiting for some employee to show up so they could buy a video game that was locked to the wall display. So I left my card near the main isle and tried to navigate through the sea of immigrants towards the alarm clocks. There were three to choose from so I took a few minutes to analyze and choose which glob of plastic crap I would like to own for a few months before it breaks. I choose the one that looked the nicest and was somehow also the cheapest at $20. I grab it and walk back to my cart. But to my avail, no cart in sight!!! What in the hell? Where is my shopping cart?

Seriously, given the assortment of haze inspired items I had collected to purchase I do not see how anyone would steal my cart to buy the stuff. Some rock-brained employee must of somehow taken some initiative and thought someone had abandoned the cart…. Absurd considering every other time I have ever asked a Wal-Mart employee for help in their store they are completely unhelpfull, usually responding that they “work in another department.” I quickly walked up and down the nearby isles looking for someone with my cart. I don’t know what I would have done. Maybe ran at them from behind then swung my clock radio into their head and push them aside then hop onto the back of my cart and go scooting off out of the store………

But my cart was no where. Oh well. Maybe it was a sign that I didn’t really need all the crap I had picked out. So I walked back to the front of the store, got another cart, pulled out my trusty list of things I actually needed and did a quick trip to pick up the essentials that my trip required.

So I could live with that. Once I was shopping again I was happy I hadn’t gotten suckered into buying more then I really needed or wanted to. But this is the part that really gets my goat. I told two different Wal-Mart employees that someone took my cart when I was half way through with shopping when I had left it for only a few minutes. They both replied in a very defensive manor that someone had probably taken it to the backroom to sort it out as an abandoned cart. No sorry sir, can I help you in any way. No remorse, just defensiveness at their coworkers ridiculous and offensive behavior. So that is why I say,

FUCK YOU WAL-MART!!!
