Does anyone else want to throw up when they see the "homey" Wal-Mart commercials? Like the one where the mom of teens spends hours in Wal-Mart with all the fabulous fragrances and clothes and sings in the music department with her daughter? (My teens would leave me permanently if I did that.)
How about the ones where the retirees go to breakfast there every morning for coffee or the day's not complete? Or the 2 thirty-something sisters who almost dance arm-in-arm through the store comparing bargains? The obsessed mom who selects the choicest cuts of meat and tastiest fruits to serve the high school band when they come over? The mom of 4 who says she loves shopping there because life is so hard with 4 young children? (I sneer at her. I spit in her face.) We can't forget the ones where attractive, intelligent, well-spoken employees speak of their commitment to major issues that their store helps with, like the environment and Down's Syndrome.
Maybe it's just the store here but the employees are either 16-year-olds who can't work the register or retirees who ain't too swift either. Forget finding any employees who can help you in their department!
I am dying to run over to Wal-Mart and skip through the store, rhapsodizing over sales, singing along with CDs, and spending hours choosing the best doughnuts or volleyballs.
