Walmart. A rant about, Walmart.

Whoever designed walmart, should be shot on sight.
(for you EU people who don't know what walmart is, think Tesco, but bigger, sells everything, and with more illegal aliens working there, and its the favored job for people living in trailor parks behind the parking lot...)
So, I'm there buying school clothes, because since I'm entering 11th grade, my parents think i have to dress like an adult. Bull s###. I'll just wear camo over it. So, we go looking for pants. My mom hands me about 6 pairs, none of the size i know will fit, all far too big, and says to go try them on... So i go find the mens changing room. Where is it? In the middle of the f#####g lingere section... As Sparhawk said last night, it was obviously designed by a man, but WHY?! Of ALL THE PLACES TO PUT IT!!!...
So yeah, thats my rant. I'm going to find a trailer park, and yell "WAL-MART SUCKS!" and be attacked by an angry mob...
Oh, and the designer can KMART... (I'll leave that for Sparhawk to fill in...) ...

So does this mean that you took your pants off in the middle of the lingerie section of a department store then?

On a trip to 6 Flags, a huge amusement park, Hippo, Matt, and I got bored. The car ride was about 3 hours, I think. But me came up with an acronym for Kmart.

Seriously, who goes to shop at Walmart for clothes? I mean, you can get guns, axes, knifes, and s### there (right next to the sports/toys section, BTW), and a 14 year old can walk out with an axe in his hands (been there, done that), but clothing?
BTW, ASDA is the British variant of Walmart, IIRC. (ASDA's are sometimes small compared to walmarts, though)

Asda's been bought by Walmart, yes.

Oh, I could only remember one of the really gigantic ASDA's along some big motorway in the UK.

I've been into a Walmart when I was in the states (In fact that's where I found my copy of Silent Threat).
The thing I hated about the store was the fake cheapness of the place. All the aisles were scattered around with no particular semblance of order but you could tell if you looked closely that it was done deliberately to make the customers think that the store had been built cheaply.
It was like someone had sent a psychologist in and they'd said that if people thought the store looked cheap people would think that the savings were being passed on to them.

Indeed, its where i found FS1 with silent threat after i lost my first FS1 discs...
Usually i wouldn't complain about it, but having my dad following me around with a shopping cart makes it a little more awkward...

>_> I know this topic's been dead for awhile, but I just found it and I wanna reply. Nyah!
*cough* I go shopping for clothes there, Hippo...
Wal*Mart is indeed a weird, confusing place. Would it KILL them to make every store's layout the SAME?? You know, Electronics are always there, the toys here, the office supply stuff somewhere else, and it's all *consistent*. I've had to memorize about 4 different Wal*Mart layouts in my area (they're popping up like sunflowers around here! AAAHH!) and even STILL I end up circling the places several times to either find what I need to find my mother (who should wear a bell when shopping, I swear lol)
Or, in my last Wal*Mart adventure... sheesh... I needed graph paper for math class.... So I searched in the office supply stuff. Found nothing. I asked a worker, and she said to look in the Back-to-school stuff (what was left of it anyway) and I did. Found nothing. So I went back to the office supplies to look again. Found nothing. Went back to the Back-to-school stuff and looked. Met a different worker lady, who said to look in the office supplies (do you sense a pattern here?) Well, long story short, after about 15 minutes of this I found my graph paper-- in the office section, on the bottom bottomest shelf, tucked under a bunch of other office-type things, in a small blue box. Well, good for me!
And another thing about Wal*Mart... a friend pointed this out to me.... why don't they sell any walls?? They don't live up to their name, then!!
By the way jake, it's not like YOU complain about going near the linguire section, I'm sure...

If Walmaet is supposed to sell walls, then what is Kmart supposed to sell?
