Saw a redneck in Walmart But I repeat myself, looking for a confederate flag

[liberal N proud]

This in Northern Ohio , as I walked through the store, I overhead an idiot ask a clerk why there were no confederate flags in the store.

[TDale313]

1. If I were guessing,

I'd say they knew but were looking to stir things up and make a point by asking. Or maybe they just hadn't been paying attention.

[RobertEarl]

3. It is a reaction

There will be some backlash from the bigots since they have been exposed.

Were I a capitalist, I'd be buying all the flags I could and jacking the price as high as possible and convince the idiots to spend their last dollars buying my flags. I'd be rich!

[Cleita]

4. I was thinking along the same lines. Sew up a bunch of flags. Sell them to the racist assholes

for as much money as I could get and then donate the money to the Southern Poverty Law Center and Negro College Fund. But even making up new ones wouldn't seem right to me.

[RobertEarl]

6. Heh

One could -- in small print -- put the words "I'm stupid" on the flag and let them buy it?

I like the idea of donating the proceeds to the SPLC, they are some fine people doing good works.

[Major Nikon]

39. Better yet just advertise it as the last flag of the Confederacy...

then send them a piece of white material tied to a stick.

13. My son had the same idea also. But he wants to wait until they are almost extinct. n/t

2. "But I repeat myself" Are you trying to say everyone in Walmart in a redneck

as you describe something that happened when YOU were in a Walmart?

[TexasProgresive]

5. I would like an answer to DesMoinesDem' question

I avoid going to Walmart because I don't find it an enjoyable experience. When I do I pay attention to the demographic. At least the ones in our town the people are from a wide spectrum of colors, income levels, ages and genders. There are college students, single mothers, biracial families just whatever. I'll bet there are Wiccans, Gay people and pagans, and for sure in Texas there will be a redneck or two.

I think the company Walmart sucks big time, but the employees and customers are just people.

[Cleita]

8. Well, I don't go to Wal-Mart because many of the people who shop there frankly scare me.

And I live in California.

[Cleita]

10. Well, that too, but the other makes sure I do it. eom

[TexasProgresive]

11. I have never been scared by any Walmart shoppers

Been annoyed as Hell by a few. I have never seen anyone with firearms in any story much less Walmart.

Now when I lived in Tidewater area of Virginia the rudeness of some people really put me off.

[Cleita]

14. Not yet. Me neither, but I'm not going to hang around to find out.

I also don't care for their employment practices, pricing practices and that their cheap stuff is mostly not American made.

[Texasgal]

30. Really?

Do poor people scare you?

Being between the well-to-doers at Whole Foods scare me more than anyone at wally world ever have.

[Cleita]

32. Did I say that? How would I know if they were poor?

I live in a pretty affluent town so I'm going to assume that a lot of the shoppers are well off and not poor.

[Texasgal]

33. I'm sorry.

Just curious as to why "they" scare you?

Do you really think a bunch of affluent rich people are shopping at wal-mart? How do you know who's rich or poor?

[Cleita]

34. One doesn't have to be good at math to figure out demographics.

So most likely the shoppers would reflect that. No I really meant that I don't think Wal-Mart or its employees are really equipped to handle any problems that someone whose off their meds so to speak might cause. They really are understaffed and that company doesn't care. It has nothing to do with poor people.

[Texasgal]

35. I'm still not getting you.

So, lemme see if I've got this straight.

You are scared of people that shop at wally world in your area because they be off their meds? And employees? thousands of people that make a sparse living there scare you? Serious?

Ugh, I don't know which response is worse!

[Cleita]

37. Well you want to see me as some elitist person who hates poor people.

That's why you don't get it. I'm poor myself. I try to live on Social Security. walMart is a vile corporation that doesn't take care of its workers and who doesn't care if their shoppers and employees are safe. Yes, there are people who scare me there because the security is lax and the company doesn't care. Now I'm done with you and you insulting me.

[Texasgal]

38. hey, I am just going by

what you posted. I have made nothing up.

Perhaps self reflection would be good?

[B2G]

15. Thanks for clarifying but

You OP seems to indicate that you think everyone who shops there is a redneck. A term I don't like btw.

[TexasProgresive]

17. That's not MY op!!!!

I'm still waiting for him/her to clarify.

[B2G]

19. Sorry. Hit reply to the wrong post.

[TexasProgresive]

20. I knes that, I'm just a rantabilly today.

I will behave, I promise.

[B2G]

23. Lolol I know the feeling Nt

[seveneyes]

26. You're it

[liberal N proud]

24. Since my family receives part of our income from Walmart I don't think everyone is a redneck

But this shopper for the racist icon, was the epitome of a redneck.

I entertain myself watching the crowds at Walmart observing the flavors of individuals and the quirks on displayed. I like to people watch wherever I go.

[liberal N proud]

21. I wasn't buying anything

My wife works there. So we get a discount.

[eridani]

12. "Redneck" is a nasty class-based insult. Please change your terms n/t

[liberal N proud]

22. This guy exuded the meme.

[eridani]

29. Still--using class insults is a bad thing n/t

[phylny]

36. Thank you for saying this. n/t

[lpbk2713]

16. The toilet overflowed in the rest room.

And that's what they used to clean up the mess.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. The clerk should have directed him to the adult diapers aisle.

[seveneyes]

25. Sounds like a false flag operation

[Logical]

27. Why use the term Redneck? Making fun of their looks? Clothes? Please explain. nt

[Historic NY]

28. "the next batch didn't get here from China" is what I would have muttered...

and Ohio is a Union state.

[Monk06]

31. Excuse me, where do you keep the bullwhips, nooses and gin wheels?

Obviously a Freeper trying to shame Walmart as if that is possible.

[Half-Century Man]

40. Just buy Walfarts "Du*k Dyna*ty" crap.

Just as good as CSA flag, but camo too.
