[at-l] Wal-Mart WAS Confusering

Around here, we call patrons of Wal-Mart, "Wal-Morons". (same exact conditions you describe)

Whilst in Tennessee, I went to Walmart. 

God. 

First, parking. Nightmare. Getting in and out of the lot was a cluster 
you-know-what, and finding a spot was INFURIATING. 

Second, the store itself: Huge, crowded, and noisy. Everybody bumping into 
everybody. Everybody, employees included, looked pissed off. I had to pee, and 
had to wait in line in the ill-kept bathrooms. I bought a Go Vols shirt 
which I had to wait in line amongst run-amok screaming kids for 20 minutes. Then, 
I had to do the get-out-of-the parking-lot tango, which, by that time, almost 
gave me a nervous breakdown. 

So, my opinion? I think Walmarts are ugly, too big, too crowded and nerve 
wracking. I paid $12.99 for that stupid shirt. I found one at the Knoxville 
airport that was of better quality (embroidered rather than iron on) for $19.99. 
No lines no waiting.

I've lived without Walmarts this long, I'm sure I could spend the rest of my 
life without setting foot in another.

Do I shop Wal-Mart -- for some items, yes. But I put my money in 
Blairsville, Georgia, USofA, even if it costs me 2 cents a gallon more for gasoline or a 
penny more for some Sterlite plastic container.
