E-Bone and A Wal-Mart Rant

It’s now official: E-Bone is in the finals against the Master Slackers! E-bone won H-U-DOUBLE-G-UGE this week. Beat the Syrens by a solid ten points. Projections show E-bone to be an almost double-digit point favorite, so we are ALL rooting for the Boner. Hey, if it can’t be Quad, it has to be E-bone. We have to keep it all in the family, you see.

So I was reading the Super Jiggy E blog yesterday and he was ranting about going to Wal-Mart. Even though they boast about low prices, I can’t go into there without spending a hundred bills or so. It’s been a long time since Quad busted on Wal-Marts, but I have to say something about a trip there me and the Pook went on this weekend.

It’s bad enough you have to put up with all the undesirables that normally shop there, which is where I think I am a little fortunate. The Wal-Mart I frequent in Yorktown is relatively new and it just doesn’t attract the customer base the ones in Hampton and Newport News do. If you are familiar with this area, you know what I am talking about. But, my Wal-Mart still suffers from what the others do: people stopping in the middle of the aisle to talk.

So this weekend, me and Pook were motoring through there because we were on a mission. And all of a sudden these people in front of me stopped right in the middle of the aisle and just started talking. What the hell?

No I am all for collaborating when you are shopping with someone because collaboration breeds expediency. Evidently, not everyone believes that. but why in the hell do you have to stop in the middle of the aisle to talk? Can’t you pull over to the side like you do on the highway? I mean, God forbid you decided to stop in the middle of I-64 so you can discuss which exit to take, you know? The same law should apply in the store. Pull over, let the others pass you buy.

Otherwise, you might find a shopping cart up your Jake-O…….know what I mean, Vern?
