there's nothing i like more than $1 heads of lettuce, that's for sure. but what i like only a little bit less is people-watching at this bargain mecca.
seen today:
hillbilly couple, complete with deer hunting t-shirts.
question: are these t-shirts expensive? if someone sees one, would you mind buying it for me? actually, THAT is the real question. where can i purchase the stylings of a typical harrisonburg townie?
back to the story.
they were buying a great amount of wonderbread. and yelling at their child for trying to sneak oreos onto the belt-thingy. why? "you already got jerky, you spoiled brat!"
jerky isn't something i picture when i think of recommended foods for children.
if i had noticed the gorgeous black man working register 19, i would have missed this satisfying escapade.
meanwhile, only a shopping center away, i was missing out on the following:
now THAT is the deal of a lifetime. not only am i getting two pretzels for a dollar, but said pretzels are disguised as hot sauce!!!
I had a most Wal-Martesque experience when I lived in Prestonsburg, KY. I was doing summer stock and after the show we needed to pick up provisions. The only place open (and I do mean only place open) was Wal-Mart. By the time we got there it was around 11 or 11:30PM. At that magic Wal-Mart witching hour, I saw a sight that has haunted me low these many years later.
ReplyDeleteIn front of me in line was a woman of ample girth wearing a dirty t-shirt that had a large, dewy eyed kitten on it. You know the kind, where the eyes take up about 75% of the face. Sitting in her car (at 11+ o'clock at night) was an 18 month old toddler wearing nothing but a t-shirt and a diaper whose liquid capacity was being tested. The diaper was about to be further tested because said child was drinking a 20 ounce bottle of Mountain Dew (did I mention that it was some time between 11 PM and midnight?).
That will forever be my most Wal-Martiest experience ever!
Someday I will tell you all about the burger place called Smash Burger. They would wrap up your burger and then hit it with a hammer.
One time I went there and saw an overweight woman without any disabilities walk right up to the shopping carts, ponder, sit in the motorized one, and zoom off to do her shopping.
