Gah, the people at my Wal-Mart are idiots.

They closed all the lanes, except two. After about an hour, when I finally got to the front and asked to load my card, the cashier spends 10 minutes trying to do just that; he eventually says I need to buy something first...which I've never had to do. He sends us to the customer service who almost wouldn't do it. Another lane, earlier, had opened up for ONE person, but refused to take my friend who was only buying one pack of cards.

One cashier even up and left for 20 minutes.

There is no reason to go to Wal-Mart...ever.

We don't really have any alternatives in my town. Actually, I live in the town next to the one with the Wal-Mart, so I have to go there.

You go someplace else. Wal-Mart is evil.

Nowhere to go, I'm afraid. It's more cost efficient to go there than somewhere further away. I know some who drive 2-3 hours away to buy groceries, but my family can't afford to do that every time we need food or clothes. I do buy my games elsewhere (Amazon), but Wal-Mart is the only place that stocks MTG cards (near me).

I wish I could watch that.

You click the arrow button :P

Ha, you know what I mean. Good news: my 2-year contract is almost over. I'll be switching to Suddenlink soon.

EDIT: I need to head to bed. I've got a party tomorrow and I don't want to be tired (and I need my rest to ask my nerd friend out :D).

Why not? I've never gone there and haven't found what I needed. Maybe I just have a soft sport for overbloated corporations that make too much money, but they always seem to be stocked with what shoppers need and they wouldn't still be in business if they weren't doing something right.

Cheap products (big surprise seeing how 99% of them are from China), creepy people go there (ESPECIALLY at night), stupid censoring of products (the film is "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" not "Zack and Miri", "Zack and Miri" sounds like something my grandmother would want to see, but I KNOW she wouldn't want to see "Zack and Miri Make a Porno"), rude/incompetent/unhelpful service (I have yet to go to any Wal-Mart where I've not gotten upset over the people who work there), and questionable franchise morals.
