Has anyone else noticed that Wal-Mart shoppers are the laziest bunch of friggin rednecks around? Why is it that there's always a shopping cart sitting in every empty space and in front of every car in the parking lot. Without fail, every time I go there, I take 2-3 carts to the cart corral--usually one from in front of my car so it doesn't get banged into my Subie!

I don't mind Wal-Mart because their prices are so low, but I'd prefer to shop at Target... much cleaner and well organized. I digress...

It just drives me nuts how friggin lazy people are. I mean, how hard is it to run the cart to the corral?

I've never worked at a Wal-Mart, Target, etc., but they must waste a ton of time gathering all those carts unnecessarily.

Is it a reflection of the type of people who typically shop at Wal-Mart (see Jerry Springer Show) or is it a reflection of the utter laziness of Americans in general? What do you think?

target and wal-mart in one post? wow.

I like how you ask, "are wal-mart shoppers the laziest bunch of friggin....", then you say "every time I go there..."

yes, wal-marters are average americans. overweight and probably listen to country music. :nuts:

Yeah... kind of the pot calling the kettle black, but you know what I mean. I guess I'm just attracted to the bouncy Rollback smiley face.

Dood... you can make a difference man. We should start up a "cart shuffling" crusade to get people aware of how fat and lazy they are.

I shop at a store called Aldi's. They have a place you put a quarter in on the handle of the cart to unlock it. You get the quarter back when you return it. That way they don't need cart people so it saves you money. Not sure why Walmart hasn't figured this out yet. People always return the cart.

 

[dh boyeee]

i would take carts from people and get all of their quarters

When I was a kid, we would roam the Sea-Tac Airport parking garage in search of SmartCarte luggage carts. We would get a quarter for each one we brought back. I think they changed that so you get SmarteCarte tokens back instead of actual money. Lame!

That Aldi's shopping cart depost thing is a good idea, but not very practical on a Wal-Mart scale. I don't know about you, but I don't ever just have a quarter sitting around. But, if I got in the habit, I may just keep one in the car for that purpose...

Hey so did i!!!! Cool we used to ride our bikes there, then stash them in the bushes and run around the airport in the middle of the morning. We used our paper route for cover, why sneak out when you can use your job as an excuse.

Yeah, there were a few times when we'd walk out with like $15 - $20 each in quarters. We could cover alot of ground with those carts...

I grew up in Des Moines, so we were close to the airport. We'd go and ride the tram and hang out in the International terminal... slide down between the long escalators (before they installed those bumps)... good 'ol days!

i think i saw super t ride down one of those in a mall or something, u should try it on ur bike.

Well, if you have to shop Wal-Mart and get bored, here's a few things to do to liven up the experience:
(apologies if you've seen it already)

12 Things a Man Can Do at Wal-Mart -- While His Wife Is Shopping


1. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5 minute intervals.


2. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone: 'Code 3 in Housewares' -- and see what happens.


3. Go to the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay-away.


4. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.


5. Set-up a tent in the Camping Department -- and tell other shoppers you are sleeping over; invite them in if they bring pillows from the Bedding Department.


6. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask: "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"


7. While handling guns in the Hunting Department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are.


8. Dart around the store suspiciously, while loudly humming the theme from "Mission Impossible."


9. In the Auto Department, practice your "Madonna look" using different sized funnels.


10. Hide in a clothing rack . . and when people browse through, say: "PICK ME!!! PICK ME!!!"


11. When an announcement comes over the loudspeaker, assume the fetal position and scream, "NO!...It's those voices again!!!"


And last but not least:

12. Go into a fitting room, shut the door and wait a while . . . then yell loudly: "There's no toilet paper in here!"

So people that shop at Wal-Mart are stupid and lazy.....except for you of course.

nice, did you hear they renamed Sea-Tac Mall the Commons? haha just thought i'd update you on some stupid local news since your away now.

I've pretty much quit shopping at wal-mart, my wife still makes me stop in there occasionally though. If you're referring to the wal-mart in Orem it's a mess, but definately a class above the wal-marts in slumern california. My saturn is so beat up I've gotten to where I'll try to corral the carts without getting out of the car, it's fun untill you push one into the side of some rednecks F150 who's just sitting there waiting for something exciting to happen, then he'll jump out and yell so many profanities you can't tell which one he's yelling.

That mall is so ghetto... they needed an image change. I guess Sir MixAlot will have to change his song then.

"Cruizin' to a mall called Commons" doesn't have the same ring

what sucks is having to go out in the summer, when it's about 110 on the pavement, wearing pants, to round up all those carts. then getting bitched at 'cause you weren't wearing a vest, then getting bitched at 'cause the carts aren't all rounded up. then you realize it's not your job to get carts, so you tell the asst. manager to go them herself, since she's wearing shorts and hasn't done any more than walk from a register to a desk all day.

god i hated that job.

 

[JRB]

Are you mad because you worked at Wal-mart??? Maybe you should write songs for morrissey.

well, i hated the job, but i'm not mad about working there. it was easy money, and Adam and i pretty much ran the pet department and stationary (even though we were day stockers). i really hated the asst. manager. she was a dumb bitch. also got super pissed when i'd work more than 8hrs a day.

I once watched a lady at WalMart load her shopping into the trunk of her car. Once she was done, she closed the trunk, shoved the cart away from herself and let go. It rolled 2 cars over and ran right into the side of a truck. She then got in her car and drove away.
