Or, for that matter, ANYTHING ELSE.

I usually tend to shop at our local TARGET store! Wal-Mart... NEVER again!!! Our local Wal-Mart is totally dirty and caters to all of the local VERY low income population. Yes... I've been inside the store and have bought things in the past... it's like a FREAK show 24/7 in that place!!!

Here's what you need to do, should you ever accidentally find yourself in a WalMart:

Locate the nearest intercom phone, and see if you can find out how to use the paging system. I've heard it's #96, but it might be different in every store. Once you've done that, say something clever over the PA, such as "Attention WalMart Shoppers. If you are here to impulse buy, please go home. We don't want your business. Have a nice day."

That is funny, and I will have to try it. But I just don't see how you can impulse shop at any SprawlMart.

1) The store is usually set back at least three or four km from the main road and you have to hop a shuttle bus from where you park your SUV to get to the door.

2) They have to have an old man at the door (who can't afford to buy his prescriptions at their pharmacy on what he gets paid) to give you a MAP of the damn place.

3) It's impossible to 'browse' when you're surrounded by screaming brats all sucking down fatty or sugary treats from the in-store McDonalds.

4) Your impulse is limited to
a) Buying crap that is made in China by underpaid laborers or...
b) Buying cheap crap that is made in China by slave labor.

F*** Wal Mart.

It's good to see religious terms used freely in this forum.

Jesus H Christ ain't that the truth!

Oops. That was a lapse in my usually non-religious demeanour.

OH! and don't buy golf clubs from Walmart.

They're probably counterfeit ripoffs made by slave laborers in China anyways.

Yep.

As a little side business I do golf club fitting and repair.

A customer asked me to modify his 'Wallyworld' golf clubs (had difficulty getting the ball in the air). His clubs had the "Lynx" logo, Lynx make good clubs.
The swing weights were all over the place., the shafts had the little 's', meaning stiff flex, but badly needed 'Viagra'. All in all they were very poorly manufactured.

I told him to return them and get his money back.

Walmart refused to return his money on the excuse they looked like they had been used. Well DUH, they're golf clubs, you hit balls with them.

I had to re-shaft them all. Obviously extremely poor rip offs.
