Their new asterik logo stinks) But the meat department. Sick-and I don't mean the good kind of trendy new way to use sick. I mean NASTY. "Please ma'am. Step away from the brown steak infused with 35% water!"

One of the following always occurs. The wheels wobble so bad that it shakes your whole upper body. The cart either pulls to the right or the left causing the muscles in one of your arms to get extremely fatigued from trying to compensate. One of the wheels don't turn. There's always trash in the bottom of the cart. And here's the clincher...I've never been to a walmart that didn't have this problem.

(This makes Walmart much better than Target, Bryan.) As I learned from DWB, if any item you buy from Walmart fails in any way (even if you broke it yourself), you can take it back and say "This Broke." And it will be replaced.

It was an accident but her hand followed her eyes. Whenever her eyes looked down the reciept her hand marked down on my shirt. She was at least 90 years old. I stood there...paused...and then laughed because I knew there was nothing i could do about it.

There was no sign of any rest area coming anytime soon, and so i did a googlemap search in my iPhone to alleviate his shituation. This was just all too perfect. Looks like Google feels the same as me.
