My Word That Store Is Big

Yep I also went to this huge brand new Wal-Mart, yet while the place was neat and huge, the fact that I had to walk the longest two blocks ever, when entering I asked if they sell wings there for since I do not have the best feet and I’m not as young as some years back, a set would do me good to get back to the bus stop whence I came from.
Then while I found all the items on my list then some, I noted that one lady insisted I could not find house shoes that I wished since the ones that I was interested in were all mens and hence too big for me, well I managed to find a pair of size 7 that were just a tad big but managable, they I found when getting home were marked “Ladies Casual” hmm these were in the mens section. The five dollars for them was good too.
After traipsing about for about two hours, my feet felt it. so off to the check out counter I go, thinking about that nice fried chicken that I smelled as I entered, so with bag in hand and minus near $80.00 to my name, I approach the chiken counter where a couple of folks were ahead of me, boy was that lady slow,must have taken her about near fifteen minutes before she took my order. OK I want the thigh, leg meal w two sides, the sighn hanging from the ceiling states this to only cost a mere $2.89 cheap enough, yet she weighs the food and markes it to $3.99 I let her know that seems not right, OK mayby I did not understand, so I back off again look at the sighn, yep it is just as I thought $2.89. so she needs to get one of the bosses to deal with this, I am now quite in a fume, “good grief I want to sit and rest I declare, I have a hike to go on once I eat the chicken meal.” It took a whole half hour from when I checked out my purchases to when I finally got to sit down and eat my food, so about six I finally leave when I got home it was near 8:30 it would have only taken mayby an hour and a half coming from the old site at Hunt Valley Town Center.
So while this Wal Mart is huge, one need either a car or huge feet, and tons of patience to deal with the slowness and unlearned (about location and prices of products) state of the staff there, got to admit while I was in a fuming mood declaring my ire about things, they all were quite calm about it, could it be that others have come to deal with the same matters and irritations? Hmm maybe.
So big or not I need a Wal Mart where I can burn energy once inside not to get and come there and where folks are a bit faster in getting the check out done and are familiar with what specials are to be had.
This store is in a location called “Cockeysville” I sure felt some cockeye over my journey there, yet no more till a bus or tram gets there close. or I can fly. Mayby by then the folks will be faster and know the ropes. So goes a special chapter in the annals of my life.

So goes a special chapter in the annals of my life.

Are you any kin to Manda*, Elizabeth?

*be sure and read the Wal-Mart letters.

Elizabeth Patricia Boriszek,

“when entering I asked if they sell wings there for since I do not have the best feet and I’m not as young as some years back”

Suggestion: if you have a problem with being on your feet for a period of time, you might consider using one of the electric carts to get around, that would allow you to sit for most of your time within the store!!

Listen to RDS, Elizabeth!

You should listen to RDS Elizabeth.  He is this blog’s “resident authority” on the Wal-Mart shopping experience.

Can’t you just see him zooming up and down those aisles on his little electric cart on his never-ending quest to re-stock his pantry with all those Wal-Mart “bargains?”

Note to RDS:

You indicated you wouldn’t answer any or my simple YES/No questions because you felt I would accuse you of being a “commie” who wants to overthrow you U.S. with your purchases at Wal-Mart.  Is that it?

Relax!  You don’t have any culpability.  You are completely exonerated.  You don’t make any of the Chinese trash Wal-Mart sells.  You don’t import the stuff.  You don’t sell the stuff.  You just buy the stuff!

Its hypocritical to say the very least, when you and your two “shadows” “The Sage” and “Big T,” have the chutzbah to talk about defending the Constitution.

It is kind of interesting that so called ‘free enterprise business’ [Walmart] has established itself in economic marriage with a communist state.  I wonder if we should come up with a name like ‘Free Communist’ as a new political system?

Corpocommies?

We may be jumping the gun, Alex, it looks like the Chinese honeymoon is coming to a screeching halt!.

Screwedby,

“Can’t you just see him zooming up and down those aisles on his little electric cart on his never-ending quest to re-stock his pantry with all those Wal-Mart “bargains?””

First, I don’t need an electric cart, but for those who can’t, it is a ‘good’ option!!  Besides, I haven’t seen any of those electric carts at mom & pop type stores!!  Second, those Wal-Mart “bargains”, have helped me stop living ‘paycheck to paycheck’ and allowed me to invest the savings to a point where I was able to retire at the age of 60, I see where YOU claim you WON"T be able to retire at even 65 and may NEVER retire!!  And, sorry, but retirement, doesn’t mean you stop living, you just stop ‘working’ for someone else!!

Why Do You Suppose That Is, RDS?

“I haven’t seen any of those electric carts at mom & pop type stores!!” ~RDS

It’s because you can walk from one end of the store to the other in under 1 minute.  Try to do that at your typical Wal-Mart Supercenter.

RDS your just a loser walmart gave you the savings to invest for retirement ,you must do a hell of a lot of shopping there, of course you are all lies and full of yourself , what will you do if they take away soc sec to all that don’t really need it .

Screwedby,

“It’s because you can walk from one end of the store to the other in under 1 minute.”

Maybe YOU can, but there are people who are physically incapable of walking very far, that’s why they put handicapped spaces next to the stores!!

jerry,

“RDS your just a loser walmart gave you the savings to invest for retirement ,you must do a hell of a lot of shopping there”

First, you need to learn how to read, I never said that Wal-Mart GAVE me savings to invest, nor did I say all my investment money came from shopping at Wal-Mart!!  Once you learn how to save money and invest it, it doesn’t matter where you save it!!

“of course you are all lies and full of yourself”

What LIES have I told?  And, I am just pointing out to people that they can get ahead, by saving money, instead of paying higher prices than they have to, how does that make me ‘full of myself’?  If you choose to spend and waste all of your money, fine, spend it, it’s yours, but don’t criticize people who learn how to spend their money wisely!!

“what will you do if they take away soc sec to all that don’t really need it”

First, that would be wrong, I paid for 42 years (unwillingly), into the Social Security, with their PROMISE that I would get benefits when I retired, to take it away would be Stealing, like the Teamsters did with my pension!!  Second, what does it mean when you say “don’t really need it”?  Who decides whether I NEED it or not?  What if the government took away from YOU, all of the money they decided YOU didn’t need, oh wait, they do, it’s called TAXES?

CAW LOCAL 414 and some of it’s History

Local 414 has a proud and colourful history, the original Charter dates back to 1945, as a Provincial Local representing in the early days primarily Dominion Stores. The Local has gone through some rough and tumultuous times over the past 58 years. We presently have over 14, 000 members.

Years were spent battling with Conrad Black as he dismantled the Dominion Stores. At that time Dominion Stores Limited were the most profitable, highest volume Company in the Canadian grocery industry.
We fought with Conrad Black for several years to recover pension monies that were owing to Local 4l4 members who worked in the Dominion Stores. As of today, $46 million dollars has been recovered and divided among the qualified active and retired members that worked at Dominion Stores who were entitled to pensions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There we have it RDS. One of the ‘good guys’, Conrad Black the big business criminal who is heading to the big slammer (in Chicago) for his corupt dealings in Holanger International newspaper empire. He is a good friend of Donald Trump who wanted to testify for him at his recent court case.
I remember this scum bag stealing his employee’s pension money. How could this happen??? He is not union? He is a company leader.

NEW YORK: Conrad Black, the gregarious press mogul also known as Lord Black of Crossharbour, was found guilty Friday by a Chicago jury of three counts of mail fraud and one count of obstruction. “..... could face up to 35 years in a U.S. prison.  (Herald International)

Alex,

All that tells me, is that there can be ‘bad’ guys on both sides of the fence, that is why I think pensions should be held by 3rd parties!!  And, even jerry suggests the fact, that even the government can screw you out of your retirement money if they choose to!!  Seems like you can’t trust hardly anybody these days!!

All that tells me, is that there can be ‘bad’ guys on both sides of the fence... ~ RDS

Keeper!

So Your Solution Is...

So according to you RDS, the solution is to build ever-larger Wal-Mart stores, surround them with parking spaces for the “handicapped,” and then provide more motorized shopping scooters to get around the store easier.  Is that it?

Screwedby,

And, where did you see me say that?  All I did, was to suggest that not everybody is able bodied and deserve to be treated with respect, something you seem to know little about!!  You seem to favor respect for the ‘freeloaders’ and irresponsible and to hell with the responsible people!!

And the Point You’re Still Missing is...

If Wal-Mart cared half as much about the elderly and the infirm as you seem to RDS, they wouldn’t build their stores the size of a football stadium.

why dont any of you bitch and hiss and moan about k-mart,target,and etc?they have mobilized scooters for folks who want them and are handicapped too.get a life and a job folks.stop hissing about walmart so much when you favorite stores do the same things walmart does like sell merchandise made in china and overseas with cheap labor.

Exactly, Matthew!

You don’t have to be Clarence Thomas to see the holes in the They-All-Do-It defense, IR 373.

Ok, they all do it. Let’s stop them all from doing it, biggest first.

typical arrogant attitude ken ok for your favorite places but not walmart.its a fact ken your favorite expensive stores import from china the same items that walmart does only they sell them at much higher prices than walmart does.too bad you are too dumb and stupid to realize that.

A man is trying a very unusual way to propose to his girlfriend. He wants people to forward an email to as many people as possible and he hopes that it will eventually get to his girlfriend. Details here: http://www.proposal-to-mary.com

Here is what he wants people to send by email:

You could help me a lot to spread my proposal to Mary – it is important that it is distributed as widely as possible so that it eventually reaches Mary. If you would like to support my proposal to Mary, please send the following text by email to a lot of people :-)

------------- SNIP (email text end) ---------------

WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS, PLEASE HELP TO DISTRIBUTE IT TO OTHER PEOPLE!

For a long time I have tried to find a special way to propose marriage to my girlfriend Mary, whom I know for five years now. I wanted it very special, romantic and memorable, something our grandchildren would still remember.

And here is my idea: I will send out the proposal to Mary to 50 complete strangers, people I don’t know - hoping, that they will forward my proposal to as many people as possible, which in turn forward it etc. And some day, I hope, it will reach Mary, after it has travelled a very long way. I know, it will take a long time and I am quite nervous…

From the poem MY Mary will know immediately that the proposal is for her.

I have created a homepage ( http://www.proposal-to-mary.com ) where you can find the current status of my quest. You can use the homepage to check if the proposal has already reached Mary (in that case it is not necessary anymore to forward the mail).

Once the proposal has reached Mary, I will put a note on these pages. Also I will publish there how many people have read the proposal so that everybody can see how far it has spread and that it is getting closer to Mary.

And of course you will find there what I am waiting for most: Mary’s answer! I can’t tell you, how nervous I am… Will she accept my proposal? Will she like the unusual way how she got it, through the hands of thousands of messengers all over the world?

Please cross your fingers for me! And please - help me by sending the mail to as many people as possible, to help it spread, so that it eventually reaches Mary.

And here is my proposal:

Mary, please forgive me, as you know English is not my native language. And I am not a poet. But I mean it from my heart.

My angel,

Five years ago, I will always remember the day When fate made us meet, blissful Alaskan moments in May Earth spun around us and a journey began Love, warmth, happiness, enough the years to span.

The longer it lasts the more grows our bond And with 80 still - of you I will be fond Whatever happens, I will stay at your side Through good and bad, together let us stride

No second with you was ever wasted
You are the sweetest I have ever tasted
We have spent so many years - why not a life?
Mary, will you marry me - and become my wife?

Mary, if you have received that and have recognized me, then give me a sign so that I can continue with the romantic part of my proposal…
