I Hate Walmart.....

But DAMN do they have some deals! So for the past 3 years, our "Outdoor Furniture" has consisted of a $30.00 lightweight table we bought from Rite Aid and 4 plastic chairs that we need to replace every year. This year I promised myself that I would indulge in a proper outdoor dining set. And by golly...one just happed to appeared to me while a recent visit to Walmart. A few weeks ago I HAD to go to there even though I loathe it to buy a camera for my mom, and damn it they have good deals! Well while I was in that hell hole, I happened to see this patio set that had 8 pieces for only $198.00! How is that possible Walmart? How do you sell your inventory for so cheap? I would like to know. So being the cheapie that I am I drag Nick to Walmart yesterday to buy this $198.00 box of joy. Well only after we arrive did I realize that it was "Sunday at Walmart" day...oh holy crap...
Kids everywhere, not on leashes, carts filled every possible aisle. I felt my blood pressure rising just entering through the doors. Every language you can imagine is spoken at Walmart, it is amazing. So I find my patio set, and then set out to pay for it. Let's just say the longest possible line is always the one you are in, right?SoI finally get to the cashier and tell her I want to buy a patio set. Then came the Big Wait. Waiting for someone to come and take it down from the towering wall 0' crap. 25 minutes later I had resorted to the childish rant of "I HATE this place!!" Nick had just taken up residence on a far better quality patio set than I had just purchased. He was just silent and irritated. Nothing like spending almost an hour in a place that makes your lips curl. So to make a very long and boring story short, we finally wrangled a patio set, hecka cheap too might I add, and ended up just scooting the boxes into the garage because we both did not want to even look at it being that it had just come from Walmart. Nothing against it's workers, employees etc. It is just a bargain mecca and therefore every possible weirdo has to enter the store. Geez...at least my patio will look fab this year and not an ounce of plastic in sight! YAY!
