You know, I was just thinking to myself the other day that I had not had any funny or odd experiences at Walmart lately. I was thinking that maybe the universe was leveling out or something.
Anyways, I was shopping at walmart, with Ayla who was in a funk. I was not feeling that hot and my contacts were driving me crazy. While trying to keep Ayla in the cart, I blink and my contact goes flying out of my eye. To where it went, I do not know.
So now I am trying to shop, sick, with a whiney child and one good eye.
Let's just say this trip is not going well.
So I get through my list while doing my awkward squint with my one good eye. I finally make it to the one of 5 checkouts that was open. Wouldn't you know there were lines like it was black Friday, and I pick the one line with the most annoying lady ever. EVER!!
So she and her son who was 4 (I know this because he told me) had two carts full of groceries. While I watch her put stuff on the belt and then take it off, put it on and take it off, her son was chatting me up.
(just so you know, i was not rude to the kid, but there are times when you just don't feel like chatting. This was one of those times.)
So here is just some of what I was asked.
Are you a mom?
Can she have candy? (referring to Ayla)
Does she have brothers and sisters?
Where is her dad?
What is his name?
Does she go to daycare?
Why doesn't she go to daycare?
I don't go to daycare anymore.
I had a nice teacher.
I don't have a teacher anymore.
Are you buying groceries?
Are you going to buy candy?
What are you doing for Valentines Day?
So it went on and on. While his mother was also full of questions.
And by that I mean, with every item she placed on the belt, she asked the cashier if she should buy it. If she had tried it, if she should buy her son one lunch-able or three?? If the spicey chicken caused heartburn, because she does not like having heartburn.
Oh my goodness, I about came unglued!! I waited behind this women for 25 minutes. By the time she was done she only bought one cart worth of groceries and left the other cart full of things she could not decide if she wanted or that the cashier had not approved!
Have I mentioned.....
I HATE WALMART!!

I don't even understand that kind of logic?! Two carts and you only buy one cart's worth of food? Does she not realize that someone has to put all that stuff back?! I was becoming irate while reading this!
I HATE WALMART TOO!!!!
OH my goodness! lol. Your Walmart stinks! Sorry, I am just laughing.
I agree, it is rare I come out of that store without some little incident or just plain grouchy from dealing with the workers and the clientele! This wasn't at Walmart, but I remember going to KwikStar once back in Iowa, and I waited almost that long for an old gentleman to go through his ritual for picking lotto tickets. It was insane.
