"MY" WALMART SUCKS

Walmart sucks! Okay, not every Walmart just “my” Walmart! On any given day at any given hour you can go to the Walmart near my house and it will be packed! This would not normally be a problem if there were an appropriate amount of cashiers working, but there never is. You can’t just run in real quick to grab something because there are huge lines even at the self check out registers! One would think that the management would see the two lines wrapping around the store waiting to be checked out by the two cashiers that are open and maybe call some more people up front or work on scheduling more people, but apparently that is too difficult.

I also hate this Walmart because they are almost always out of everything that is on my list. The only benefit to this Walmart sucking is that I don’t spend nearly as much money as I used to on frivolous items! I just don’t have the patience required to shop at “my” Walmart. I find myself shopping at Smiths, Harmons, and Target. They may be more expensive, but I spend half the amount of time waiting in line to pay. In college I took an Economics class and we learned about the true value of something. This is when you include the price of the product and the cost of your time. I like to think my time is pretty valuable, so the longer I am in line waiting to pay the more expensive the item becomes! Is it really worth it? Most of the time I think it would just be easier to eat out every day!
