RE: White Trash Fight at Walmart! lol

huskerbb · Guru

Using the words "white trash" and "Wal-Mart" together is a bit redundant.

If a store is open 24 hours, restock at night, when you're not bothering people who want to spend their $$$!

That only works if you only want to sell 8 of something all day. If it sells out during the day, it needs restocked so when you come in after a long day at work, you can buy some too and the shelves aren't empty.

This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine as well. I didn't let 2 people in the same aisle, but that was because they would do nothing but talk.

Understandable. But during busy times, they should try to avoid those giant, box loaded flatbeds, and just bring out items in a regular cart so as not to block the whole aisle.

I don't go to Target, but when I see this at Walmart, "EXCUSE ME" usually works to get them to see what they're doing and move.

Most of the time it's a foolish shopper who parks her cart blocking the left side of the aisle while she's looking at something on the right, completely blocking the pathway, and just standing there. I don't mind if she's reading the label, but get out of the way.

Those flats are not supposed to be on the floor unattended. They also are not supposed to be out on the floor after store opening. 😉 So your Target is extra special in its wrongness!

So is my Meijer, apparently!

Well Meijer might not have the same company policy as Target! Each company does have its own rules!

Good company, yeah.... The video sure shows the "good company" you are keeping.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Well, like I said, I used the cart with a broken leg. I had a leg cast from the ankle to the hip. I know a lot of people here think I didn't deserve to use it because I wasn't technically "disabled" but I did and I would use it again.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

If going to Walmart makes me white trash then so be it.

I have been called worse by far better people than you and still didn't give a flying flip.

Again. I have never seen the type of things shown in these things at any Walmart, ever. Even when I worked there.

But that is what disabled is. I don't think anyone would see someone with a cast from foot to hip and say they were not disabled.

I avoid Wal-Marts in the city, but the ones in surrounding counties are usually clean & safe.

Okay, as long as she wasn't in Ohio or Wisconsin or Tennessee. Or Kentucky, West Virginia, Indiana or Illinois.
