Things Southerners Say at Walmart

[@LadyBern]

Not a southern thing but a Walmart thing, once a fight broke out near the milk and dairy end of the store. I could hear the shuffling and someone shouting "they fightin'! They fightin'!" Like the doors opening on black Friday everyone rushed to see the fight... Except for me and this 1 elderly lady. We turned in the opposite direction. We locked eyes for a moment nodded in understanding and kept moving away from the fight. In my mind I'm thinking "In a horror movie situation, she's gonna be on my team and we're gonna live."

Yep. I was a Customer Service rep for Walmart some years ago, and had the same thing happen.

When I handed the receipt back to him and told him he had to take it to them, he stupidly ranted that he "...tried to return it there, but they won't take it back because I kicked the screen in in a fit of anger!" He was escorted out of the store by two managers and two security men, and off the property by two sheriff's deputies.

We had a really bad storm come thru...not a tornado but a straight-line wind came through and knocks down the walls that were partially up.

I've gone to the checkout only to abandon my cart and leave due to the 25+ people waiting in line at each register. It kills me when I walk down that death row gauntlet at the front of the store, spy what looks to be a shorter line at the far end, and take my place in line, only to hear a little "ahem" from behind me. Look back, and sure enough, there's 10-12 more people in line back around the corner of the aisle or between the clothing racks.
