Wal*mart doesn't like me.

Off-Topic conversations about what ever you feel like talking about.

Wal*mart doesn't like me.

Postby St. Jimmy » Tue Aug 14, 2007 11:36 am

The last night that the staff (for the scout camp I worked at this summer) was going to be at camp, we all went to Hillsdale, MI to a place called Cavone's. We ate, sang, and had fun. After everyone was done eating, we all took off into little groups to go to various places. The peole I was with, decided to go to Wal*mart to see how fast we could get kicked out. 8)

Now we had to be careful on the methods to choose on getting kicked out, because we definitely didn't want the cops called on us. We finally settled on Singing Loudly as our method. It worked. Very well, in fact. We sang one of our camp songs, The Good Old Mountain Dew. As we were singing this very loudly, we marched ourselves to the soda aisle, each of us grabbed a 2 liter of Mountain Dew, and started dancing and singing with the Mountain Dew. We were kicked out by the manager, who loooked as if he was going to pop a blood vessle. :shock:

From the moment we walked in the store to the moment we walked out, it took us 3 minutes and 15.42 seconds according to my stopwatch; A new camp staff record! lol Anyways, the Wal*mart staff is like a freaking SWAT team. I kid you not. They were on walkie talkies, shouting off what we were doing, and possible locations in the store we might be headed to. As the manager was "escorting" us out of the store, he said on his walkie talkie, something along the lines of, "'I've got them and am currently escorting them out, please get three employees to the west doors to help be sure that they all leave, and don't try to reenter." Like I said, they are like a SWAT team.

Sorry, Jimmy, I know it was harmless fun, but I'm still in the not-amused camp on this one. I know, grumpy old fart, but still--annoying for the staff and other shoppers, ya know?

I think my reaction to this sort of thing is very much dependent on what kind of mood I'm in. Sometimes I would laugh along, and sometimes I would have your reaction...

Maybe it's just because my local Wal-Mart is full of assholes that I would be predisposed to be in the un-amused group. It surely can make a trip even more not-fun to have people in there doing harmlessly annoying things on purpose, when there are so many oblivious jerks doing annoying things because they're dumbasses.

Welcome to Wallyworld; in aisle 17 we have singing scout leaders, aisle 9 for the jerks asking stupid questions, aisle 27 for dumbasses loudly discussing nothing at all and aisle 38 for non-specific assholery . . .

Sounds like a pretty Boy-Scoutish thing to do at Wally world. (Except the folks I know probably would've been stocking up on WD-40, lighters, and alcohol rather than soda.)

I'd find it amusing, if only because the staff at Walmart tends to be apathetic at best and jerks at worst. I've never seen them in SWAT mode, though; the closest thing I've ever seen to actual security is the old guy working as door greeter, who insists on stopping me to check my receipt and bags, despite the fact that he watched me wait in line at the register, pay, and pick up my bags.

this is a little off topic, but LOL@ DS's avatar.
once I realized what it was, I almost coked on my iced tea.

kudos.

and Jimmy, I know far faster ways to get kicked out of Walmart. lol
for example: walk in wearing boxers, knee high socks, and a tuxedo teeshirt, with sunglasses and a little kids bookbag.

if that doesn't get you instantly kicked out, I don't know what will.

Actually the quickest way is to take your camera with you and then in plain sight of a important looking employee and begin taking pictures.

You guys see that story Jimmy wrote up there? That's his short version. I could only hope that he could tell me stories like that. No. I get the long version. With the song. With the giggles. With the unnecessary pauses. With quotes that he has to stop to get *just right.*

Oh, Jimmy. Why must you exasperate me so? *sigh* Short versions work wonders. I can fill in the blanks.

I dunno, "dames" "broads", they just have that old Film Noire sound to 'em. Doesn't bother me. Neither does "girls" "chicks" or whatever. "Skirts" I think I'd have to object to, because it kind of gives the impression that what's under the skirt is all the speaker is interested in. Even if it's true, it's not very respectful. ;)
