Here's more about it with a video......

This is why I dislike Christmas as a holiday and Wal-Mart as a store. As most all of you know, I'm disabled and though I fight it tooth and nail. there are days were I'm is so much pain I simply cannot walk the entire distance through our Super Wally World.

So I'm left with four choices, either sit at home, sit on a bench for hours, attempt the walk and fall on my ass or use those darn electric carts for the disabled. So one day, after allot of begging from my wife and others, I give in and get on one of those stupid arsed machines.

An otherwise boring story turned interesting when a Wally World Zombie (Clueless Shopper) not paying a bit of attention walks right into the cart I'm sitting on (sitting motionless) and falls into the darn basket! Two other complete morons that day fell over the cart with me sitting on it. I finally told my wife I was leaving before I went postal!

That news story just reaffirms my hatred of Hell-Mart. As a 7up man I have to work 3 of them every day and they always seem to be in a state of crowded panic. Nothing ever goes smoothly, the employees run around like they are fighting fires and the customers seem like they drop about 10 IQ points when they enter the store. More than once I have argued with a customer about the fact that I work for 7up and therefore cannot go into the back and get them a case of Pepsi and NO I don't have any on my truck because I don't have a truck and I still work for 7up! If it's not that discussion then it's the discussion about how coke and 7up are not the same company, 7up and sprite are not two different names for the same product and I don't have a clue where the peanuts are! No I'm not looking at your daughter I'm trying to count up what I need for the shelf that both of her @sses are in front of! >:(

...whew, sorry for the rant but I have to go to work in about an hour and this just reminded me of how much I hate it. :-X

The thing about those mart carts is that they are quite large and most have a 7 foot antenna like pole on them with a blaze orange triangular flag. This is so they can be easily seen going down isles.

Cops hunt Wal-Mart shoppers after worker dies.......
Charges possible after Black Friday crowd tramples employee at N.Y. store

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27955316

"Items on sale at the Valley Stream Wal-Mart included a Samsung 50-inch Plasma HDTV for $798, a Bissel Compact Upright Vacuum for $28, a Samsung 10.2 megapixel digital camera for $69 and DVDs such as "The Incredible Hulk" for $9."

Wow, I can get darn near the same price shopping on-line and have them delivered to my door free of charge.

Hmm, maybe I can trample the UPS guy....nah, he could easily out run a old fart with a cane and bad legs......lmao

I heard about it, and it makes me mad. Crowds of greedy, undisciplined morons breaking down the doors and trampling a manager to death just to get some good deals? I seriously hope that karma catches up with everyone responsible, and kicks them where it hurts the most... >:(

We were coming up with lists of diseases without cures today in Health, I was the only one that thought of stupidity, marriage, and shopping. I received an afterschool detention, well worth it to see the laughs though  ;D ;D ;D ;D
