So I Walked In To A Fast Food Place...and???

54. J C Penney really was very nice place at one point in time.

And yes, the same is happening at WalMart. I rarely go there, but since the Mega Store has pushed all the small businesses into bankruptcy, occasionally I am forced to. If I need a package of needles, I can't afford to drive 35 miles to a store back in the Big City. So I try and use WalMart, as quickly as possible.

But it is a hassle. There is not enough staff. Lines are long. Last time I was there, I bought something I saw at a very good price. But it turns out it was shoved into the wrong place on the counter - so the clerk yelled at me when I said what she rang up was wrong. No, she said, you don't understand our pricing.

I ended up having to show her where I got the thing, and then she let me know that someone had shoved it above the price sticker for some other similar but not the same item. And that she had the right to charge me the higher price. I also got the feeling she thought I was trying to pull a fast one. It took so much time, I really am going to just use the internet to get stuff from now on, rather than go back there.
