And feel free to comment here often, as you were one of the truly good people from my high school years.<br /><br />And Tracey, I agree with all of your points. And having worked at a Walmart in a college town, I also agree with the people watching experience. Too bad Walmart wasn't there when Margaret was going to school there....Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322086604599640345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33436317.post-80718845768323280502010-05-08T22:39:41.947-04:002010-05-08T22:39:41.947-04:00This is a nice post, Cliff.
As you know, I have ...This is a nice post, Cliff. <br />As you know, I have a love-hate relationship with my local Wal-Mart. <br /><br />LOVE: Where else can I go to get ground beef, a bathing suit, a TV, my prescription, and a wheelbarrow? AND have it all be cheaper than the other (individual stores) that sell those things? <br />NO WHERE.<br /><br />HATE: I hate the fact that Wal Mart truly IS the evil big box store when it comes to SQUASHING the local mom-and-pop establishments and putting them out of business. Hubster and I try (whenever possible) to patronize independently owned, local businesses... but it's getting harder and harder now that everything is becoming gobbled up by big chains. <br /><br />It's love-hate.... <br /><br />But your former commenter was RIGHT... the people watching at Wal Mart simply CAN'T be beat! (as one of previous posts will attest... remember the T-shirt I saw "on display" by a Wal-Mart shopper??)Tracey Axnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241222434446828594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33436317.post-20014037729629939892010-05-08T21:47:00.255-04:002010-05-08T21:47:00.255-04:00Not snarky at all.
