.::still blinking::.

I am boycotting Wal-mart. For the past like 5 years I have been going there every week faithfully. But I have had enough.

Last week I went to the Neighborhood Wal-Mart, as if it being a small version makes it any more palatable. I was standing in the check out line, waiting my turn. When a checker from the next lane over came and butted in front of me so that she could discuss when my checker got off of work and what her husband was doing that day. I sat and listened and finally lost my patience. Who does she think that she is? Did she not see me standing there with my kid and groceries? Stop wasting my time lady. So I said, “Excuse me.” And she looked at me like, Who are you? and Why do YOU think that you can interrupt our conversation? The lady pulled her hair up into a fake pony tail and let it drop and then walked away. Rude.

Today, I was again at my local neighborhood walmart and went to the self-checkout lane so that I would not have to deal with stupid lady and her side kick stupid ponytail. I rang all my stuff up and and then decided that I did not want one of the things that I had gotten. So I did the remove it from my list thing. But the machine would not let me continue with anything and kept saying “Please wait for assistance”. A red light started blinking, so I figured that help was on the way. I stood there for a few minutes until I was finally fuming and went and yelled at the customer service people. They walked over fixed my problem and walked away. They did not say they were sorry, they did not even take the thing that I had decided that I did not want. I was made. So I left my Bertolli Frozen dinner on top of the cash register. It will probably stay there until it molds and turns itself into compost and just disappers.

So I am tired of the lack of customer service and I am not going their any longer. I like Target way better anyway. I can get groceries at Macy’s for cheaper than at Wal-mart, I just need to pay attention to the ad they send out weekly. But they really do have good deals and they are not open on Sunday, I will support businesses that do that. And they always give G a balloon and smarties. I love that they care about the customer. When it comes time to renew my Sam’s Club membership, I am not going to do it. I am going to go to Costco. They may cost more in membership fees, but they take American Express. I love my American Express. I have one for business and one for personal. I get points for everything that I buy. So eventually I will be able to go places with all the points that I build up for buying stuff. That is a dream come true.

Also, have you seen “Supersize Me”. EEEEWWWWWWW! It is so gross and you know that Wal-mart plays a huge part in that. They do not sell actual beef, they sell soy with brown food coloring and ground up plastic in it. They sell chicken that has been given growth hormones so that they have abnormally large breasts like the Dolly Parton of chicken. That is what you are buying at Wal-mart. Quality, medically enhanced, impervious to radiation, chicken.
