I hate going to Walmart. Me too...prices are lower, but the help is a horror of who know less about anything in the store...not to mention the pallets in the middle of the isles, the carts with flat wheels going bumpity bump down the aisles, and items ever missing from shelves...it's a horrible shopping experience....goes to show how much a shopper will forgive to get a cheap price.

Politics never crosses my mind when I go into a store. But for tejek, he doesn't go into a Walmart (or at least he says he doesn't) for one reason. Politics. Very strange reasoning.

Actress arrested in ricin letters sent to Obama, Bloomberg Gary Strauss @gbstrauss, USA TODAY 2:57 p.m. EDT June 7, 2013 A TV actress was arrested Friday in connection with ricin-laced letters sent to President Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The arrest of Shannon Rogers Guess Richardson, 38, initially reported by NBC News, comes two weeks after Richardson contacted the FBI claiming that her husband, Nathan Richardson, had sent the letters last month to Obama, Bloomberg and Mark Glaze, head of a gun-control organization co-founded by Bloomberg. Nathan Richardson, a 33-year-old Army veteran, was questioned by the FBI last week. He has been married to Guess, a former Dallas beauty queen, since 2011. Mrs. Richardson, a mother of five, has had minor roles in cable TV series The Walking Dead and The Vampire Diaries. Richardson contacted agents after she said she found a suspicious substance in her refrigerator and ricin-related Internet searches on the couple's computer. But investigators said she had sent the letters. Attorney John Delk, who represents Nathan Richardson, said his client is divorcing his wife and claimed she was trying to set him up when she contacted authorities about the letters. "There are a lot of factors I'm aware of that indicate (he) was set up in this deal by her," Delk said. Delk said Nathan Richardson came to him to discuss a potential divorce a year ago and finally hired him on May 6, weeks before the ricin incident came to light. The couple is expecting their first child in October. Shannon Richardson also has five children ranging in age from 4 to 19 from other relationships, Delk said. She is being held at the federal courthouse in Texarkana, Texas, said Davilyn Walston, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office. Walston declined comment as to specific charges Shannon Richardson faces. FBI agents in hazardous material suits were seen at her home earlier this week in New Boston, Texas, a small community near the Oklahoma-Arkansas border. usatoday.com

>> As I said earlier, I have never been to a Walmart. I cannot imagine how there can be an adult anywhere in this country who has never been in a Walmart. There are a lot of things you can't imagine but that doesn't mean they don't exist. As for Walmart, to my knowledge, there are only three in the Seattle metro area, none of which are close to me. I tend to go to Target or Costco's. I hate going to Walmart. But I go there once a year whether I need to or not. Huh? Why would you do that?
