Wrong Sir. Judging other people's attire is the only good reason to actually go in to the cesspool that Wal-Martopia.

If you are playing a game of white trash treasure hunt you can usually bag 75% of your list in a half hour.

Fat chick in undersized clothing - check
Mullet - check
child with no shoes - check
able bodied but obese in a loaner power cart -- double check
someone with less teeth than fingers (on only one hand) - check
child in snow boots in August - check
someone dressed like Marilyn Manson - you guessed it check


feel free to add to the list.

Do you remember years back Walmart used to be big into selling American made products. Now I believe you would be hard pressed to find anything made in the USA there.

When I was younger they had a decent sporting goods section with an ammo selection that couldn't be beat. Fast forward 25 years and it's a joke,no guns and a crappy selection of anything outdoors related.

When you live outside an urban jungle you learn that the best time to visit wallyworld is from 05:00-0800. People on government assistance don't wake up early so the trip is a little less painful.

My walmart has two spinning plexi-glass gun cases loaded with rifles, I think I saw 4 different AR's in there including a 22lr model.

I think ours knows there are enough hillbillies around to not want to miss out on their money.

Abso-freakin-lutely! :beer: Wal-Mart is where we are headed in everything. Cheap, foreign made products sold by a store that treats it employees like dirt. If that's what you want, have at it. Capitalism at its finest!

Far as I can tell most of their employees are dirt, as are a lot if mine, treating them any other way is throwing money away.

The Chinks could give a shit less what you think. Our frigging government has run most of the decent gun/knife/fishing tackle manufactures out of the country and into the far east.

Walmart is a great place to shop after 11 PM or Before 9 AM. Anywhere between 9AM and 11 PM is a nightmare in hell.

If you do shop wal mart check the prices at the register. I bought 6- 12 packs of soda marked $3.00 on the shelf. Got to the register yep tried to charge me $3.94. Girl says do you want me to do something about it. Yep dam right get the Manager, manager sends someone to check price and they give me them for $3.00. One week later I go back over for more soda and price marked $3.94, so I figure they changed the price on the shelf to match what was in the register. Wrong, I get to the register and YEP price there is now $4.28. So I yell out ( WHY IS THE PRICE AT THE SHELF ALWAYS LOWER THAN AT THE REGISTER) and the manager shows up. Sends someone to check price and they give them to me for $3.94. I tell the manager I will be turning them into the better business bureau. That is how wal mart makes there money. So check your prices, or shop at a honest mom and pop store.
You can see the voids to the right price,my proof for BBB.

It wasn't worth suffering through the dregs of humanity to get to that one 2 second shot, Rick. Trust me, when I saw the screen I was planning to take a little time with it! :lol: And actually, looking at it just now, I think that girls got some violence going on at home. Look at her right arm. :-?

The Walmart here sells no waterfowl stuff but sells elk calls and they only give out about 300 elk tags in the entire state of CA and 10 in my entire county. They also used to sell deer bait, but I'm not sure if that was Walmart or Kmart. (For those of you who don't know, you can't bait deer in CA)

The only thing I ever got a lot of from wally world was movies and steel shells. We seem to get them decently cheap.

I bought a boat paddle at the Wal-Mart in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.
It paddles and was made in USA.
I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.

It's against the law to hunt over bait in Alabama as well, but doesn't seem to slow the sale of whole kernel corn during deer season :lol:
