Tales of Wal-Mart – Chapter 7

by Ladybug on November 30, 2011

Justin Beiber

Yes, another rant about Wal-Mart. There’s so much to write about it, this is why it gets its own series.

So, I was in Wal-Mart the other day, looking at Christmas stuff. I went early in the morning as per usual, to avoid dumb people, or so I thought. It seemed awfully crowded for a weekday morning; I don’t know what was up at all, probably just getting to be Christmas season. But anyway, the main aisle was full of your usual assorted Wal-Mart weirdos; ten year old skipping school, obese mothers, old people staring at you, etc.  So, I went directly to the Christmas decorations, which consists of several aisles, most of which were empty except for a few people.

Ever notice how being alone in an aisle seems to attracts people like flies? “Oh, look they are looking at something, now I want it too!” seems to be what these creeps are thinking. And I don’t like it. Pick something up, and watch their eyes follow the object. Then you turn your back and BAM they pick out same thing and put it in their cart. It seems people don’t have their own taste, and must rely on YOU. Yay! They do say imitation is the best form of flattery, though.

So this happened to me in Wal-Mart. I’m alone in this aisle, and all the sudden it’s like, three people are in this aisle, slowly creeping up on me, sneaking glances over my shoulder as to what I am looking at. I wasn’t even planning on buying anything, I was just looking. The smothering effect was incredible. I had to get my butt out of there. On to the next aisle…

In this aisle were stockings. Not so bad you may be thinking. But what I saw was more horrifying than anyone could imagine. Just think of your eyes being burned out, same effect as what I saw. Something no one should be exposed to. It was… *sob*… a Justin Bieber stocking. Just picture his little douchebag face staring at you. And then under this shelf was, Justin Bieber ornaments… with the same douchey pout on his face. That was enough. I had it for the day. That’s nothing I want to see for Christmas. Or anytime, for that matter…

I left after that with the horrifying image of that girly face staring at me. Just out of curiosity, I wonder how many of those stockings will be left after the Christmas clearout? I’ll have to check, and then I’ll have another rant for Tales of Wal-Mart!

Good Gravy, Old Navy

by Ladybug on October 12, 2011

old navy stores
A month or so back I was shopping in Old Navy. For once it was not that crowded, and I was having a fun leisurely experience taking my sweet time enjoying myself. I had found a nice top and was just looking around at the other stuff for the heck of it.

No one was bugging me, until I made the mistake of going around the wrong corner of a clothing rack. Right there in front of me is like a herd of five salespeople chatting amongst themselves. No big deal, right?

Well, of course the oldest male steps right up and has to ask, “Did you find everything you are looking for?”

What am I supposed to say to that? “No, buddy, as a matter of fact I was looking for some jeans in size such and such, can you come help me find them?!” OF COURSE I’M GONNA SAY YES I FOUND EVERYTHING I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!

So yeah, I politely answer the guy. Ugh. Along my merry way now…

At this point I am heading back to the dressing room area in the middle of the store.  Some boots or something catches my eye, so I’m heading toward those happily.  Behind me I hear some shouting but I think nothing of it, since there’s already a lot of noise happening in a store like that.  I hear this voice about three times in the distance. All the sudden this voice is RIGHT behind me yelling,”HEY, HEY!!!”

I turn around surprised. I almost jumped; this woman was so loud behind me. She has this fake looking smile plastered on her face, yet is looking at me like I’m the tard for not paying attention when she was way in the distance. So I am kind of annoyed at this point. I thought I had dropped something or the like, and she was trying to return it, hence the yelling.

Then I see her little Old Navy employee tag. And she shoves a flyer in my hand and starts ranting about how if I spend $50 or more I get some free stuff, or something, I don’t really know because I was barely listening due to her obnoxious behavior.  I force smiled and tried to get away. She keeps rambling about this great deal when I know all I am buying is this $24 top. I managed to shrug her off and decided it was time to go pay for this thing and get the eff out.

So after waiting in a line, that everyone joins just because someone else did and they don’t want to be the only ones in it, I pay for my top and then the cashier asks for an email. Like eff guys I don’t say it out loud and give it to Old freaking Navy so they can send me spam.

The workers do a good enough job of that in person. PLEASE, LEAVE ME ALONE SO I CAN SHOP IN PEACE!!! I CAN READ YOUR DEAL SIGNS WHEN THEY ARE ALL OVER THE EFFING STORE!!!

I wonder if they get commission or something for following you.  Stalkers.

Tales of Wal-Mart – Chapter 6

sad tomato

If there’s one thing Wal-Mart does well, it’s selectively placing product in strategic fashion. However, they don’t seem to want to have to maintain the product or its displays. All they have to do to clear out a selected item, let’s say, expired cookies, for instance, is place the display unit in such a manner [...]

You can’t go once to Wal-Mart without something interesting happening. Although this Wal-Mart event dates back to the Christmas holidays, it still sticks in my mind as a Tale of Wal-Mart rant. OK, so day after Christmas sales a.k.a. Boxing Day sales here in Canada are like U.S. holiday Black Friday sales. Everything goes cheap, [...]

Lady Walks Into Fountain

dumb lady falls into mall fountain

Watch this: Now the rant commences. THIS IS WHY I HATE WATCHING PEOPLE TEXTING. “Oh, my cell phone is so important that I am so absorbed in it that I cannot see anything around me.” OK, so a dumb woman is sooo into her effing texting that she can’t see anything around her, due to [...]
