Wall Rats?
Permalink  

Back in the day, we'd go to the mall to hang out and were called Mall Rats. Now, when I go out to lunch, I pass a Wallmart. It seems like it is a lifestyle all its own- moms trying to dress like teenagers, 8 screaming kids in a cart, another muffin in the oven, smokin a grit and smacking at the kids (grandkids?) as she loads them into the '84 Cavaleir with plastic duct-taped over the broken rear window cuz the daughter's boyfriend stole the radio for crack money. 


Can we call these folk Wall Rats?

a cig'grit!


how did wallmart save your life?


Maybe I am envious that these folks get to shop during the day, instead of having jobs??


I dunno- maybe I can get a bunch of tatoos, wear a greasy wife-beater, grow my mullet back and walk around going "Duuuuuuuuuuude..................Dude................"

long story but I was basically stranded w/ out cash and all I had was checks.  they were the only place that will give you cash back if you overwrite a check - only $20 but I had a lot of checks.  So it helped w/ gas (and beer ) money.

Wow.. That's pretty darn nice.  Well, two points for Walmart then.

Our grocery stores will let you do that too, Star.  I think you have to pay a fee, though, unless you buy something.  Sometimes I'll do that the day before payday.  The check won't get deposited until the next day, but I'll have gas money today (and usually a candybar...).

I was like in the middle of nowhere.  Welll, I didn't know the local grocery stores.


Hey no more candy!  Get a pack of gum!

Too funny JD. I like that. I hate when I have the day off and I go out and it seems that no one has a job!


 


I will keep that term in my vocab!

When I am no longer bound by contract, let me fill you in on the Real Wal-Mart.  I work intimately with them daily running ordering matrix's and writing orders.


What I tell you will shock you.

My husband used to work at Sam's Club and was at the receiving end of a lot of corporate's decisions.  He ultimately quit because he was afraid of getting fired for disagreeing with them (and he can't just keep his mouth shut).  So, I'm sure it's no where close to what you could tell, CP, but I know how much they really value their employees.

Let's just say that Wal-Mart makes my paycheck, but I shop at Target.

WalMart is a giant evil empire. I have been through case studies that say it all.

I like Target's pants. They carry my size and fit the way I want them to.

That's funny JD!


It reminds me of the lady that was behind me at lunch, she just had to tell me she got her new upper teeth today so she was gonna try em out, first time eatin real food for months. An if they aint gonna work she said she'll just take em out and have some smashed taters.

Oh, I hate it when people do that!  I don't mind friendly conversation while waiting in line, but I hate the people that tell you personal stuff.

When they start that, I usually say something like, Oh, I feel for you because my spleen is killing me today.

Hey Queenie-

Let me show you this boil on my shoulder. Think I should have it lanced or put a tatoo of a bowling ball on it?

Ray, I think you should get a tattoo of an eyeball on it, that way when it popped it would look blood shot...
