I had a friend today tell me that Walmart really is the place to go to get stuff for a lot cheaper. I literally hate that place and told her it can't be that big of a difference to go there when I can go to my happy place and not leave agitated!
Well, she convinced me for the day and so after I went to dinner with a friend downtown, I stopped at the dreaded warehouse nightmare that is Walmart on my way home. STILL BLOODY HATE THE PLACE!!!!
Reasons? Here we go.
1. It's gray and dark and noise echoes so one is bound to leave with a migraine.
2. There are birds, yes BIRDS, flying overhead so not only do you have to avoid unsupervised screaming children running around, you have to avoid bird poop spontaneously hitting you on the head!
3. The personal hygiene items and such are on the COMPLETE OPPOSITE SIDE of the store from the grocery items. Why would they do that? If I have my arms full of groceries (no I don't have a cart, I'm one person people) do I really want to haul all that stuff to the other side just to get my deodorant? NO!
4. There are people walking around with NO SHIRTS ON unless they think the tattoos all over their body count as a shirt! Umm, and people wonder why I tend to call it white trashville?
4. There isn't anything of the 'natural', 'organic' or 'gluten-free' persuasion to be found anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cereal aisle? Nothing but wheat! Dairy section where I needed to pick up some Soy milk for my protein drink in the morning? Exists if I want it to be chocolate! Ask the pimply 16 year old worker if they have regular Soy milk? "Umm, why would you drink it plain?" Seriously?
The two things I went for, soy milk and gluten free cereal, don't exist! So, I sucked it up and bought some Italian Ice and a Diet Coke to make me feel better for wasting the gas to save money by going to the horrid place.
I think I need to take a trip to my happy place just to get back to my state of mental stability.

Ah, finally someone else who understands.
When my kids were in diapers and stuff, everyone and their dog would tell me that Wallmart was soooo much chaper for all things baby. But everytime I went there, I hated it. But my main reason, besides all your other ones is that the aisles just seem really close together. And being a bit clausterphopic, I just can't handle it. I need my space. And for some reason, it just felt dirty. And I don't really like to shop for food items in a place that feels dirty, ya know?
Anways, I can promise you one thing for certain. I won't EVER go into another Walmat for the rest of my life, if I can ever help it. I'd rather pay more for stuff and enjoy the experience.
Oh, And isn't Tarjay wonderful?
Ok....Our Happy Place is only marginally more expensive than Wal-Mart. It's not worth the trip. Plus, in regards to WM: I hate it there, I hate it there, I hate it there!
Amen! And Amen!
One time I was waiting in the car while my husband went in and I promise I counted 10 people wearing swimsuit on or had shirts that were too small for them. What is the deal with Wallmart and no clothes? I just can't figure it out.
It is nice to see someone else has the same hatred for walmart as me. It boggles my mind that people don't realize that Target prices are about the same. The only time i go to walmart is for Lemishine (since they are the only place that carries it) but i usually just send steve for the sake of me not being in a horrible mood. (Walmart makes me very angry.) So in short I feel your pain.
Obviously you people have way too much money.
