Went to Walmart today to get some things for work. Usually, the day is slightly less annoying than the evening. Today, not so much. So... here we go... Top 10 Things That Annoyed me at Walmart Today:1. Orphaned shopping carts in the parking lot
2. Shopping carts returned to the corral in a haphazard manner rather than in two, nicely organized lines
3. People parking in places that aren’t parking spaces
4. People trying so very hard to find the closest possible parking spot on the warmest day of the year
5. Almost as many people using electric carts as those not (maybe they all need them, I don’t know, but I doubt it)
6. One person blocking one side of the isle, another one blocking the other while eating an apple pie. I stand there for two minutes and give her a dirty look. She states she needs something where the other person is. And, apparently, doesn’t know how to walk backwards.
7. “Walmart People” (Oh, you know.)
8. Walmart employee answering a question using the fewest possible words and without making eye contact or moving in any way (although the second person I asked happily walked me to the item—my hat off to you)
9. Not enough checkers. Too many self-serve lanes.
10. “Please place your item inside the bagging area. Please place your item inside the bagging area. Please wait for assistance.” The item is in the stupid* bagging area, you stupid* machine! You want me to throw it in again? How ‘bout I purchase a hammer and place it in the bagging area after I finish beating your stupid* speaker into oblivion? Not so demanding now, are you?
*Not the words I wanted to use.
