I stopped by Wal-Mart tonight to pick up a couple of snacks since I was off work today. While I was there, I decided to wander around and kill a little time. I really hadn't been window shopping in a while. It's getting time to be thinking about things like Christmas presents, birthday presents, anniversary presents, etc. So, I was just browsing to get some ideas since I've been on a tight budget the last few months, and avoiding the stores as a result.
So, I get to the Toy Dept. Yes, I like to check out the board games, video games, and creative toys from time to time just to see what's out there. I still have an inner child when I feel like letting him come out to play. I'm walking through the aisle where they have the Transformers toys, and remembering how they were so popular when I was a young child in the 80's.
That's when I see these two high school boys riding around on the handicapped scooters. One of them is also dragging a tricycle in tow, and just chiming away on the little bell. Me being who I am, I just mutter, "Dumbasses!"
They either didn't hear it or chose to ignore it because they kept going on their merry little way. That was fine by me as I went about my reminiscing about how I used to watch the Transformers, and now they're popular again because of that movie. I've not seen the movie yet, by the way.
It just really irked me that a couple of stupid teenagers were joyriding around on those scooters when they should be left available for some handicapped person who might have mobility issues. I used to get on to the joyriding teenagers when I worked at K-Mart. If they thought they were going to get away with blowing me off, then I called management on them.
So, when I decided to leave Toys, I saw the scooters and tricycle just sitting in the middle of one of the central aisles leading to the front. I don't work there, so it's not my concern. Even so, it still seems disrespectful of those teenagers, therefore I find it annoying to be a witness to such things. Don't get me wrong, there really are some sharp kids out there who will undoubtedly be a credit to the human race, but then there are those who make me shudder to think they are also a part of our future.
