Standing In Line At Wal-Mart

Sometimes I wonder why people do the stupid things they do. Is it human nature? DNA? A combination or both, or are they simply morons? You’d think that in this day in age of advanced technology and space travel more people would have common sense and not do dumb things.

One day, after a long day at work, I stopped at my local Wal-Mart Supercenter to make a few purchases. I get to the checkout line only to get caught behind "that" person. You know the type; the type that argues over the price of every item they buy, ocassionlay holding a flyer for a competing store, trying in vain to get the cashier to mark an item down.

Forget the fact that this is Wal-Mart we’re talking about. You have to either have too much time on your hands, or you’re just a moron, for arguing about their prices. Get over yourself and get out of my line.

Getting back to checkout line; this woman had a flyer in her hand, arguing over the price of every item she had. I can’t remember exactly what she bought, I do remember this: she had a Target flyer, and...most important of all....she was wearing a Target uniform.

Are you kidding me? Why is Target worker holding me up in line at Wal-Mart, arguing about the cheaper prices at the store she works at? Did it occur to her that maybe it would have made more sense to buy her things at Target instead of going to Wal-Mart? That’s like Burger King worker going to McDonald’s, trying to get them to drop the price of a BigMac when they can easily buy a Whopper whenever they want.

I have to admit my jaw dropped when I saw that she was wearing a Target uniform in a Wal-Mart. I think there’s an unwritten rule that you’re not suppose to do that. Obviously this rocket scientist didn’t get the memo. In the end I just let it go. Why get angry over something as trivial as this? There are more important things I need to worry about, such as Global Warming, Super Bowl Halftime Shows, and that whole Flava Flav-Briggite Nelisen thing (freaky, freaky). So, go on Target worker. Hold me up in line at Wal-Mart as much as you want. Next time I go to Target I’ll make sure my bring my Wal-Mart flyer.
