Good grief...is WalMart open at 4AM? I've only been a few times, when my Mom had to go to get her RXs there...it was always a "trip", that's for sure!

Nice of you to paint Walmart shoppers with such a broad brush. I shop there for almost everything and I never have a hangover because I don't drink. I go early in the morning before the electric carts for handicapped shoppers are all in use or used up and on the rechargers. Never had a problem with the parking lot, but inside with a lot of the women wandering around like the stereotypical woman driver on the streets and highways; charging out of blind aisles without looking and making turns across the wide main aisles without looking and no hint or attempt to move into what would normally be a "turn lane" outside on the streets, etc, etc. The worst is the dirty looks when 2 or 3 gather at an intersection of 2 aisles, completely blocking both, with no consideration for anyone else in the store, and all of them glaring at you for disrupting their bullshit session. The male equivalent is trying to win the Walmart 500 by racing in and out of aisles, intersections, etc, with their eyes looking somewhere other than where they are headed. Both men and women are fond of blocking an aisle with their shopping cart while they wander aimlessly away looking for the perfect can of tuna or bag of noodles - sheesh! I've found it more convenient to plan ahead and shop once every week or two to avoid the aforementioned crazy/lazy shoppers inside the store every day or so. The really helpful, friendly people who offer assistance retrieving something off a top shelf do make up for the bozo's and I really appreciate them. I may end up having to have my shopping done for me, if the bad stuff gets any worse, but the prices are mostly right. An offer to help a handicapped person reach something is a small act of kindness greatly appreciated in most cases by the afflicted person. There, rant over and my chest feels much lighter.
