The Weirdness of WalMart

[RubySlippers]

You can get whatever you want out of a picture. I'm saying that maybe the developer was a bit of a perv.


And just what did you feed those trolls?

oh, i don't know if that is a fair assumption. if the person was a perv, he never would have handed them over. he/she was just doing his job.

"feed the trolls" - internet term.

feeding the troll Feeding the troll is when one replies to a troll in retaliation (usually). If somone feeds a troll, it may get cocky and cause an even bigger problem. The best way to deal with trolls is to report them and let the mods bannidate the said troll.
troll
In internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, blog, or chat room with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

The couple in Peoria had their children removed by CPS due to other nude photos of the children, not just the photos at Walmart. They are suing, so they will have their day in court, but they have been in trouble before.

I just came across this post and all I could think of is a college student by the name of Skyler Bartels who lived in a Walmart for 3 days during his spring break.
Sorry if anybody already posted this but I don't feel like going over 550 threads.

[Fujicakes]

Hmm, I haven't seen any posts of the Wal-Mart I go to. I don't know whether to be thankful or sad.

BTW, what the hell is Michael Cera doing at Wal-Mart?

[Morty]

It's true!!!

Why does this not surprise me? They put my Dad out of business, they might as well put every other small/family owned business out of business as well.

[Queen_Death_Hag]

Can I get one covered in Walmart smiley stickers?

[hoxharding]

Costco sells coffins-so why not Wal-Mart?
That would be weird though if it went like this
"Honey,going Wal-mart to pick up milk,school supplies,Miley Cyrus clothes and Pepto Bismo."
Husband: "Don't forget to pick up that coffin we ordered."

[Morty]

That was my first thought. Wonderful, put us outta business. Us being the lil funeral home on the corner. Wonder how long this'll last.

Nothing says loving like a Wal-Mart casket

Wonder if they're going to start selling urns, too?

That one is sorta cool...And so perfect for Raiders fans, too!

Speaking of caskets, did you see that one the kid from Boyzone was buried in? Talk about wonky. I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing...

[cindyt]

Wonder if they're going to start selling urns, too?

Wouldn't surprise me.

[duster]

Hahahaha! Can you imagine? I'd be spinnin in my grave if I knew my loved ones found my final resting box between the plastic laundry baskets and the discount paper towels...

[Roaming Tigress]

Haha, wow.

[Inked_Daddy]

Pine is highly underrated.

[Nelliebean]

Wonder if they're going to start selling urns, too?

I can see it now. Cheap plastic urns you can burp.

[duster]

Pine is highly underrated.

I'll tell you ID, this is EXACTLY what I'd want to be buried in. For a while I was thining of making my own. Caskets have become way more ornate (and expensive) than is necessary.

[Finnegan]

Wonder if they're going to start selling urns, too?

apparently they do.

"Return Information
Due to FTC regulations, Walmart.com can only accept a return of a casket, urn or memorial jewelry due to freight or cosmetic damage from shipping. Walmart stores cannot accept the return of any casket or urn."

[Nelliebean]

True! They take up quit a bit of ground room.

I wonder if we'll ever get desperate for space and start sticking caskets upright in the ground.

[duster]

Funny you shouold mention that - just a few weeks ago, I was asking about that on Annie's "Questions for a recovering mortician" thread. Somebody said that the idea was experiemnted with at some point somewhere in the US.

I dunno about straight up, but Sheboss & I bought a "Forever Together" plot. Whoever goes first, goes down 12', then the remaining spouse gets planted at the normal 6' - right above the one who passed first.

Yep. I don't remember the details, but I did read an article about it years ago.

[priceless]

My 77 year old mother told me not long ago she wanted to be buried in just a cheap pine casket like the one in the picture above but that she wanted an elaborate headstone. Wal-Mart is her favorite store. So i guess I'll say "let's go to Wal-Mart and while we're there we can pick up your casket!!" Fun Fun!!

[Carrera_3.2]

I can see the ad matching, "Costco has one like this for only $979.95"? Carrera.

[Forever-27]

If you are serious about buying a coffin from walmart, I think RoRo can get you a discount. Forgive me if Im wrong but I think I remember her saying she landed a job at one of their stores. Im certain they give their workers employee discounts.

[STORMIE]

I guess they need to make aisle 13 the Death aisle - coffins, urns, flowers, funeral music, do it yourself embalming kits. Then they would have the whole market cornered.

[Omerta]

Can I get one covered in Walmart smiley stickers?

LOL! And your own personal blue vested greeter!

[Inked_Daddy]

I suppose the Greeters are happy with this development.

[Soonerson]

I suppose the Greeters are happy with this development.

Most of them already have one leg in the casket.

[Carrera_3.2]

I can see a price check right now. Dept 13. Uh...., I need a price check of a "going home" full couch, sealer at reg. 6

Call me a snob but I refuse to go to Walmart. That website is validation for me.

[Jack-O-Lantern]

OMG those gray sweatshorts! MY EYES!!! OH MY EYES!!!

[John carpenter]

Well..unless your in a certain "tax brackett", Wal*mart is the cheapest place in town. And yes, very interesting. And i love hearing "Welcome to Walmart" lol

[1karenhb]

I was afraid I'd see my photo in there! Yes I do shop at Walmart. The funny thing is when I worked at Disneyland I'm sure I saw all these people there and more.

[1karenhb]

I'm still going through the pics, they are funny and yes scary too. The comments are great.

[RaRaRamona]

I wouldn't say snob. It's not too smart though b/c they have EVERYTHING & it is so CHEAP. ♥♥♥♥♥ WM!~

[Nessa]

Ahhhh my eyes!

Witnesses have told authorities that Ellis cut in front of waiting customers at the Walmart in Kennett on Jan. 6, 2007, shoved merchandise already placed on a conveyor belt out of the way and became belligerent when confronted, according to court filings.

Ellis maintains she was merely joining her cousin, whose checkout line was moving more quickly. She claimed in a written complaint to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that she was then pushed by a white customer, hassled by store employees, called racial slurs and physically mistreated by Kennett police officers.

Story
__________

Maybe it's because people who try to cut in line piss me off so much. Why would all those people lie? It would be very interesting to see the surveillance camera of what happened. And, yes... It is shit like this that pisses me off. With all the problems in the world have some simple freakin respect for other people.

"Ellis maintains she was merely joining her cousin, whose checkout line was moving more quickly."

I'm sorry but, hello?!... That's called cutting in line.

/rant

[mandee1005]

I will prob catch hell for this but I'm sick of people using the whole racism thing as coverup for what they did. I know in some cases, there is blatant racism. Sounds like she cut in line, somebody said something then she showed her ass, resisted arrest while still showing her ass and is now whining that it was because she was black. No you got your ass arrest for not being compliant and of course, showing your ass.

[neilmpenny]

I hate que jumpers. It is an epidemic here.

[Heavenly Tiger]

Well that's Walmart.

[sablegsd]

I have never had that happen to me in walmart. And woe to the dumb bitch that tries that shit on me. Selfish, self-centered boorish cow assaulted an officer and made a huge scene. Then she screams the racist card crap. I hope she does at least 6 months in jail.
Can you believe this moron is a schoolteacher?

Interesting, mate. I went to China and frankly, there's no such thing as a queue. Goddam free-for-all, but the good part is that no one even expects anyone else to obey, so no one gets pissed. They just jovially jab each other in the ribs/poke each other in the kidney etc. to push ahead in the line. No plobrem!

But here? NOBODY jumps queue. If someone tries, he gets the mean side-eye from everyone. Admittedly, if someone does go ahead and do it, everyone glares but passively-aggressively does nothing.

BUT! every great once in a while some surly/drunk businessman or construction worker will let loose with a string of epithets that astound in their poetic originality. The whole place goes dead silent. It's beautiful to watch.

Same with yabbering on cellphones. Not done. Ever. How fucking cool is that?

I live in paradise, man.

[Pryncis]

i have been known to loudly call out a person who cuts me off. my dad would trip people with his cane. i have no problem correcting other people's kids when they see an old man in a scooter and jump in front of him.
