  • "Ain't Got None! Ya Hear?!"

    Another white trash Wal-Mart story.

    Usually I'm pretty safe from this kind of crap at Wal-Mart, since I started going there ONLY in the early morning (right after work, usually every other week on payday, but I needed some items for a baby shower this weekend, so I went today), but today proved to be different.

    I was in the infants section trying to decide what color onesies to get, when I hear yelling and cursing.

    Stomping down the aisle comes along a Jerry Springer Show reject, his facial hair more out of control than Tom Hanks' character in Cast Away, more holes in his shirt than Swiss cheese, said shirt was probably once white, but is now a really nasty, greasy, grimey dirty off white almost yellow, and of course, holes in his pants that are about 2 sizes too small, as he had a male muffin top.

    He was on his cell phone, probably screaming at his girlfriend/sister. "They ain't got NONE!" "Well yer gonna hafta deal with what I gotcha!" "I told ye, they AIN'T GOT NONE!" "What the fuck do you want me to doabowdit?"

    I guess it just makes me wonder......do people not realize how stupid they look/sound when they do stuff like that in public? I understand it's not healthy to be so insecure that you always worry what others think, but seriously......having a screaming fight on your cell phone in public? I can toss aside the horrific attire because almost no one in this God forsaken part of Wisconsin seems to ever want to dress in clean clothes, but how can you go out in public and proceed to act so ignorant or dumb or loud, and not care that you make a spectacle of yourself?

    It's not just in Cheeseland either. I've seen similar folks in my land, or even coworkers for that matter, who dress much like you described. Not to mention the fact that a family reunion may or may not yield one full set of teeth.

      Are you sure it was a cell phone he was yelling into?

      Sounds like he should've had a tin can attached to a very long string instead.

        What I would like to know is what product this guy was looking for. I mean, disregarding brands, I have yet to see something for sale at Wal-Mart that I could not also purchase elsewhere. Does he think that Wal-Mart is the only store in existence wherein he can buy stuff?

        Actually, I'm beginning to be afraid that this kind of mentality is creeping into some parts of American society. If it can't be found at Wal-Mart, it simply can't be found.

        Then there are people like me who use Wal-Mart as a last resort. I've shopped there twice in the past five years.

          Well if the Wal-Mart in town has driven out the rest of the stores around, it may be the only place around.

          But I do know what you mean.

            That's what I was going to say.

            I won't shop there, myself, but I know a lot of people who live in places where Walmart is literally the only place they can go.

              I go there because Wal-Mart truly is the cheapest place for groceries, toiletries, etc etc.

              Every once in a while, K-Mart has some clearances, but it's not even worth shopping there because they only have 1-2 cashiers at a time and the only people shopping there are elderly folk with overflowing carts and books of coupons.

              ShopKo (aka ShitKo) rarely has any good deals. Even their sales aren't that great.

              Walgreens.....sometimes.

              Target is just so inconveniently located that I'd just prefer to stay away. It's right next to Menards...aka Redneck Wonderland, so you can see why I'd avoid that place, especially on the weekends. It's a royal clusterfuck trying to get in or out.

                It's not the store's fault. Part of it is...the "low, low, low prices" bring out all the idiots. However, this is true of *any* discount store. For years (locally) K-Mart had similar idiots in the aisles. As such, I'm one of the people who *refuse* to shop there, unless I have to. Too many rude, annoying customers to deal with. I'd rather go to Target--the store is not only cleaner, but you don't have to worry about getting jumped in the parking lot.

                But, like some have said, there are areas where you don't have a choice. Grafton, WV is one of those places. There simply *aren't* more stores! When the railroad closed its shops there and downgraded the line...the town suffered. Throw in the closing of the mines...and they were literally screwed. Wal-Mart opened a somewhat-small store about a mile or so from town...and then the rest of the stores closed.

                Most of the main section of town is deserted. Several buildings have been abandoned, and some have caved-in. Others have been renovated, cleaned up, and now have new tenants. But, it's not like it once was.

                Grafton isn't the only one like that--quite a few of the smaller towns there literally lived and died with the mines. Thurmond, WV is another one. Last I heard, only about 6-7 people still live there.

                  There's a great Christmas parody song in there somewhere, but I'll have to wait on that until closer to the holidays.

                  I could change Menards to Fleet Farm, since they have all the farm stuff. Yeah, I think I just may do that. Even though the Happy Schnapps Combo beat me to that years ago.

                    Around here, it's Farm and Fleet. Another store I stay the hell away from.

                      The Wal-Marts around here are really more like a festival of nations than anything else. Pretty much any ethnicity you can think of can be found there. Other than that Wal-Mart isn't a big deal in the area/state, possibly because the Target Corporation is headquartered here. I can't say I've encountered anyone like that at Target though. Must be a Wal-Mart thing.

                              OK I'm seriously starting to wonder if I should stop eating cheese since that's the area where it supposedly comes from.

                              And that sucks because I love cheese.
