The people of Wally World

I shop at Wally World, sometimes. If I have to visit a "super" store, I'd much rather visit the Super Red Bullseye Store, which I find to be cleaner, better organized, and have higher quality merchandise. Sadly, item-for-item it is also more expensive than the WallyWorld across the street, so I don't one-stop-shop. (Wasn't that the purpose of these super stores? To save time? So in one stop you can drop your car off for an oil change, balance and rotation, all while you shop for new drawers - the kind for you body, and the kind you PUT the ones for your body in - get your eyes examined, have your nails and hair done, buy nails and hair, get your glamor shot taken, and order a birthday cake, get your groceries, purchase a pet goldfish and its all needed supplies, stop for a fried fish and okra dinner in the deli, then you can pick up your Ali diet pills in the pharmacy. By the way, say a prayer it's not fried goldfish.) If I had my druthers, I'd one-stop-shop at Super Red Bullseye Store, but it is financially irresponsible. I go to Super Red Bullseye Store for "things" - linens, housewares, and some clothing items (especially for the girls). I shop at WallyWorld for groceries. Groceries are things like toothpaste, sunscreen, laundry and dishwasher detergents, cereal, cream of mushroom soup, and bacon. I'll buy ground beef at Wally World, but no other beef. If I am in the mood to buy a roast, or splurge for a steak, it's back to Super Red Bullseye Store or Wind Dicksy.

This running all over town does not save me any time, but I cannot justify paying $3.78 for a bottle of Heinz Ketchup at Super Red Bullseye Store, knowing I can get the exact same bottle of ketchup from Wally World for $2.98.

Now, sometimes, if I just need one or two things, I will go for the "one-stop-shop". I put a value on my time, and I know it's not saving me one red cent in cash or frustration to drive my hiney across the street to get Catchup for $.80 cheaper.

Besides lower prices, WallyWorld has one redeeming quality that is typically missing at Super Red Bullseye Store: Entertainment Value. No matter what time of day or night you visit the Wally World, you are likely to be entertained by merely watching some psychopathetic person. (Note: psychopathetic is word I created. It will be in Webster's soon, so you should use it in routine conversation. You will be ahead of the game.) When my son was 14 and 15, his Friday night outing was trips to Wally World with friends. I suspect they instigated some of the entertainment, but none the less, they had plenty of willing subjects. Since I am not speedy with my camera, I am borrowing some photos from others entertainment enriched outings.

Enjoy!

I personally have never forgotten to put a shirt on before I went to Walmart to pick out a home phone (or anything for that matter), but then again I’m weird.

For EAB:

La Schwinn, an opera being performed in the in the sporting goods section of WallyWorld. The soprano is amazing.

I suspect, that occasionally I am the leading lady in the entertainment. For example, when searching for drawers. True confessions: I am a cotton lady. Nothing too fancy, but not Granny Panties either. I like Hanes. They hold up best and come in packages of 6 or 10 pairs for a and didn't cost more than my first car. Now, it seems that every time I decide it's time to buy a package of drawers, the style I want is available in EVERY OTHER DANG SIZE KNOWN TO MAN, except the size I need. And then, there is the frustration of a completely different sizing system for drawers than for pants and skirts. Whose brilliant idea was that??? If I wear a size 10 pants (I WISH!), why can't I wear a size 10 drawers? That would make sense, so the manufacturers don't do it that way. A size 10 pants/skirt size equates to a size 6 or 7 in drawers.

This is where the entertainment comes in, when I stand in the WallyWorld store, and have a conversation with the drawers. They talk back, and sometimes they laugh at me. I laugh right back at them. Psychopathetic.

And don't get me started on bathing suits or bras.

So, head out to WallyWorld when you want the best prices on your groceries, and a show thrown for good measure. The people will not disappoint you.
