Oh My God. Time_Share and I agree on something. [Although our reasoning for A) is likely to be world's apart...]
Do you guys think that during your rare sorties into Wal-Mart, people look at you and think of you as low class trash. We'll use Baqui's story as an example. Let's say I'm passing through the W and I see some hispanic guy reaching between some fat women for a mad grab at some Valentine's Day cards. I would think to myself "what kind of a loser comes here for that stuff and risks his arm for it?" Then I mutter something racist to myself like "f'n wetback" even though I'm also latino. It's all about perspective.
Come on now. I accept full responsibility for stepping into the Wal Mart zoo yesterday. But I don't think that it's too much to ask to get a greeting card, some Godiva, and some Advil without having the fear of being trampled by Shamu.
i've been boycotting walmart for years now. i've gone 2-3 times in when i was in college and haven't been in over 3 years now. it's always a mess in there, items aren't labeled well so i don't know the price and there is never any one to ask. too frustrating. i grew up on Target by almeda mall and i go to the one on 518 all the time. no lines, always someone there to help me. i'll pay an extra penny, i don't care. i'm doing my part to keep target in business. i'm glad y'all agree with me.
They have price scanner, please walk over and scan it if the item isn't labeled or if the price tag isn't in BOLD BLACK LETTERS for you to find it. It isn't difficult to ask a "CSM". Great! You didn't post in this thread correctly like the rest of the people... you forgot to call low-income people FAT, ILLEGAL, SLOBS, UNITED NATIONS, or something degrading like the thread starter... please edit your post and complete it... I know you must have something...
Yeah, I particularly liked the "this walmart has the brownies, that one has the darkies, this other one is for rednecks, and this last one is for smelly foreigners" post. Wonderful stuff.
Does anyone buy their clothes at Wal-Mart? A buddy of mine said he did. I started laughing. Then I realized he was being serious. He's married so he said he doesn't care. I said good point.
C'mon...Wal-mart is definitely the lowest cost on most things...However, you're right, it can be a crappy place to shop as it is chaotic at times...Christmas is the worst...You're also right about the brats and the moms that just sit and do nothing...Next time, do it a week early... btw, I didn't get my g/f a card, but I did get her a good gift...She asked about flowers and I told her that I thought she didn't like them and that was that...Phew, did I dodge that bullet...
Smokey: Yes, yes, and yes. When I can go at anytime and try a pair of pants, and pay $15, and save the rest of the money that you prefer to spend at STRUCTURES and use the other $30 to buy my kids GOOD clothes or toys, I've done my duty as a parent. Screw that EXPENSIVE shiznit. I seldomly buy Dockers.
Personally, I would never buy clothes from Wal-Mart but I don't buy anything from there so go figure. Also, I am no fashion wiz but you can buy nice clothes at trendy stores for cheap if you shop right.
the only clothes i buy from walmart are socks, boxers, white Ts and it's not b/c i'm a snob and look down on people who buy their outfits. truth is, their quality is utter ****. i don't like spending hundreds of dollars on designer clothes so i'll go to a marshall's or ross.
You just have to understand the Wal-Mart my friend. I could probably go there and buy foi gras, but would I really want to? No, I go there when I want to buy a super saver 6 month supply of Tide and go to a specialty store for a special item. Besides, doesn't Wal-Mart put obnoxious pricing stickers on those boxes of chocolate. I seem to recall a bad memory of trying to remove one of those in my teenage years. Ah, those were the days, all those 5 years ago...
i bought construction paper, glue and glitter this morning, and i waited in the wrong damn line. some idiot. i guess i'll say the race, because we all have been doing it. some seven feet tall black dude bought like 5000000000 balloons. I was like go(sh) darn man. you're not going to be getting any um chacha tonight.
Well I don't go to the Galleria much, but I have noticed that First Colony Mall is becoming pretty thuggish, and right when they're trying to go all upscale too.
