Another reason not to go to Wal*Mart (for me anyway)
I admit that I went yesterday. It is the closest store to my house and I had to get some stuff for supper. A worker there was hitting on me while he was supposed to be stocking the water bottles. I was so uncomfortable. He was asking me where I lived, where I worked, if I worked out, what my name was.... I guess it was punishment for going there in the first place. x(

1. I went there for the first time in months....
I needed a few items. :hide:

But being hit on, that's unprofessional. :(

2. I know! I mean, hit on me in your down time, jeez!
:P

Seriously though, I want to feel comfortable while shopping! I had to dodge that area the rest of my shopping trip!

3. If for no other reason it's just too damn crowded.
Everytime I drive by the one near me the parking lot is full. Craziness!

4. So true!!
I will have to make the longer journey from now on!! It is more trouble, but in the long run, much more worth it!

5. That sucks
Though I would not blame EvilMart for that (why bother when there are so many other good reason to hate the evil empire.) I don't know why some people can be so creepy when they "hit on" people. I've always tried to be real respectful when I got the "not interested" vibe. I think some people enjoy making others uncomfortable once they realize the "pick up" will not be successful.

On reconsideration, this is another valid reason for you to never again shop for the evil empire (though I must admit I go in a few times a year too, though usually only for the pharmacy which is in my health plan).

6. I know it isn't really their fault, but it is fun to blame them anyway!
:)
