Maybe it's just because I'm a psychology major, but I LOVE going to Wal Mart at about 2am, to take a study break or something, and watch all the people. The day time is entertaining enough, but in the middle of the night, it's 10 times better. It's like real life Jerry Springer. We have 2 Super WalMarts near my school. One is decidedly in the ghetto, and the other is in a fairly nice part of town, but is close enough to the outskirts that they get all the WT folks. These people are so entertaining to watch and my friends and I often try to figure out their "story." You know, like what the heck could those people be doing with a gross of beer? Obviously they must be having a kick a$$ party, maybe we should go talk to them, try to get ourselves invited. Or, wow, that person has been talking to themselves for 10 minutes now. Maybe they have a psychological problem. They look a little crazy...what if they're a serial killer?
I always seem to have to go to WalMart for something. They are definitely a huge resource for social outfits. They have great camo gear, cowboy stuff, cheap kids costumes, and tons of accessories. Actually most of the stuff there is pretty cheap, and the craft/fabric section is great! When you think about it, it's the only place that you can grocery shop, while getting your oil changed, while having your pictures developed, get eyeglasses, and have your hair cut all in the same place! (Not that I would do some of these things at WalMart - esp. getting my hair done - but you could, if you wanted to.)
For those of you who hate the people at WalMart, perhaps you should treat your next visit as not a dreaded trip to the WT hell hole that it truly is, but as a sociological adventure!
