The Joys of Wal-Mart

It's rare that I venture out to Wal-mart to shop, but once in a while, it happens. It seems that every time I go, I am more and more displeased with my shopping experience.

Yesterday for example, I literally wanted to get IN and get the F*&% OUT since I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to purchase: Picture frames. Wal-Mart does have great prices on picture frames.

I walked in and thought that I should be able to find them on my own. So, I walked around the store, trying to navigate through everything and I was unsuccessful. I thought, "my fault... I should have asked for help in the beginning."

Then,I walked up to whom I thought was a competent employee and said, "excuse me, where can I find picture frames?" She responded in a haphazard way that told me, she has no idea.

So, I walked away and asked the next person I could find. "Excuse me, where can I find picture frames?" This kid, also had no idea... he walked over to another sales person and asked them the same question. At this point, I was mildly frustrated but not to the point of disaster.

They pointed me to a vague area of the store called "furnishings." Funny, I thought... I just came from "furnishings." So again, I strolled through praying at this point to find what I wanted and GET THE HELL OUT. No such luck, THERE ARE NO PICTURE FRAMES IN THE "FURNISHINGS" SECTION OF WAL-MART!!!!!!

At this point, I have just made my way THRICE around the ENTIRE store. I thought as part of the "Wal-mart training course" employees were supposed to have a GENERAL knowledge of where the fuck things were in the store!

FINALLY I asked a lady who looked semi-intelligent and she was able to tell me EXACTLY where the fucking picture frames were. THANK GOD.

Lesson learned... never shop in Wal-Mart without knowing EXACTLY where your going. They should hand out MAPS to customers who want to get in and get the FUCK OUT!
