Wal-mart hates me
Today, Scott and I went to Wal-mart. Anat and Oren had been raving abou t how cheap everything was, and we decided to finally make the treck out to the Wal-mart.
And I have to tell you, Wal-mart is A LOT cheaper. Going there was like letting a three year old loose in a candy store. I was buying things left and right; I was FINALLY going to get thyme (ok, so that sounds retarded, but I was REALLY excited about the thyme)! I think everything at the Wal-mart was at least 30% cheaper than Giant Eagle. Scott and I must've stayed a good two hours there in our consumer bliss.
But as we were checking out (as I was putting the FIRST item onto the conveyor belt), we heard an announcement, of which we ignored. But it KEPT ON COMING BACK. And so I finally listened and they were asking us to evacuate the Wal-mart. LEAVE THE WAL-MART (ie. "No Wal-mart for you!"). Everybody out. Wal-mart? Suddenly closed for business. No, you can't finish checking out. No, you can't pay or buy the goddamn pretzel you have been craving for the last two hours. Out the door you go, and when you stop one second longer? The Wal-mart manager will YELL at you.
So...we were forced to the leave the Wal-mart without a SINGLE ITEM PURCHASED. It was SO...unfruitful. Like working on your computer for three hours and then it dying on you without letting you save your document.
So where did we go afterwards?
Giant Eagle.
Blah.
