The walmarts

There has been much hating on the walmarts. I say "the walmarts" because it amuses me. It reminds me of my father in law and other old people who indiscriminately put the word "the" in front of things. He says things like "the Steinfield" which is code for Seinfeld. Its funny.

Anywho, back on track. All walmarts are NOT created equal. I hear lots of people on Facebook making fun of the whole walmart experience noting all the freaky pajama clad people roaming around looking for cigarettes. But there is a spectrum they ignore. I figured this out today when I went to the "other" walmart.

Its only 10 minutes away so I don't understand why its so different. The parking lot is filled with old dirty smoke emitting cars. The patrons are scary toothless people in flannel.

Its really only 10 minutes away.

I had no idea that the walmart only 5 minutes from my house is the "good" walmart. Now, it has its own random customers with screaming kids and parents shouting in foreign languages. There is always that character at the front who either wants money or me to sign a petition to legalize weed. But, it is by far less scary and dingy.

So now you know. If you have to drive 10 minutes to get to walmart and you live in a reasonably nice neighborhood you should be packing pepper spray. These are life skills people.
