Ok , apology accepted.

Now if you quit selling Chinese garbage and focus on American made, and get rid of the self check out crap..and then you have the gall to check my receipt???

No feck off Walmart! apology NOT accepted

 

[ChicagoMan74]

Well that's nice...are they not going to "celebrate" LGBT month as well? That would be very anti-woke of them.

Bastards...the system ruined my whole birthday month that I have to constantly hear about that crap.

Owner says Walmart USED to have the American flag displayed somewhere inside the store on the wall. He says he hasn't seen it recently.

how do you type with hooves?

 

[CaryC]

how do you type with hooves?

I would suggest with: probably the hunt and peck method.

That's actually a gag. LOL

More likely goes through a universal translator, which is fed into a voice recognition program, which in turn is fed into a voice to type program and then on to the board. Owner is from the 25th century.

Stylus whittled from wood and held between my teeth in the "interdental gap." Its a little hard on the neck and I have to use "sticky keys" to get capitalization. (So sometimes it "sticks" in reverse too.)

Time to repeat "my story."

CHAT - Time again to tell everyone...

...about me. I have done this variously on the Board for various humans and at least once globally on the "old" board, (which I don't find now.) But we're all pretty "new" here now on the "new board" and I've gotten questions from at least three of the newbies on what I am and how I do it...

Doesn't really matter. We're just glad he does.

Makes total sense. I've been talkin to myself for a few years now, and now I'm talking to a horse.
My mental state may be worse than I thought.....

He's definitely smarter than half the humans I know

No small accomplishment, kudos.

1. We admitted we were powerless over Walmart, and that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

I'm still trying to figure out 'owner's' name... I have a sneaking suspicion it's Wilbur.

Ive seen Mr. Ed do that with a manual typewriter. Pretty neat.

 

[day late]

I recall that when Sam Walton was alive, Walmart PROUDLY claimed that their goods were American made. They even got Bob Hope to say that in a commercial one time. How sad they have fallen so low, and all in the name of the dollar.

Throwing away hard earned money...and proud of it, is my own perspective on that statement.
I personally do not have enough money to not wring maximum purchasing power out of each dollar.

Even in Walmart, why would I buy a name brand when the GV brand is the exact same product at 1/2 to 2/3 the price???

One big ass keyboard!!! (Think the piano dancing from the Tom Hanks movie "Big".)

I remember Dobbin posting under the handle "Joe" previously, so that's my guess.

 

[Kathy in FL]

As a business owner myself I at least partially get where the big corps are coming from and why they do some of the things they do. And with the costs of doing business going way up ... payroll expenses and corp tax just part of that ... there are only a few ways to stay viable in today's market and economy.

That said, stop kissing up to the small percentage of woke crowd even if they are vocal. They aren't your real customer base, and it is a waste of money to cater to them and makes you look foolish to your true customers.

I think he types the keys with another body part.

Agree.

But the truth is, if all their goods were American made - the store would be virtually empty.

Exactly so.

ask the manager
probably some commie hippy complained so they took it down
complain that you want it back up or you will go elsewhere (Tractor Supply)

 

[WalknTrot]

I don't care if somebody or a corp. wants to sell some half-azzed fake holiday as long as it doesn't inconvenience me.

Don't hear much about Kwanza anymore.

You do hear about it when it's that time of year

Maybe regional, or depending on regional demographics, but not like it was pushed ten years ago.

Their "American flags" were hanging from the ceiling, all over the store.

Big cardboard white signs, in red/white/blue, proudly proclaiming that they ONLY sold products "MADE IN AMERICA."

Sam's kids couldn't let him get cold before they changed that......

 

[intothatgoodnight]

how do you type with hooves?

Talented lips deftly wielding an unsharpened pencil.

Took lessons from the "famous Mr. Ed," so I've heard. (clippety-clop "he" taps his feet, to pass the time of day . . . )

I mostly just quit being a consumer. I only buy antiques from yard sales or stores. Half my food is grown, the other is purchased in my local grocery store (Foodland). I buy steaks/ground beef there, from where I know the butcher and he purchases the meat from Texas and Kansas. I have my own home grown chickens and pork. Foodland also carries mostly local apples from Crow Mountain Orchard. Only Florida Orange Juice. That's Smart Oatmeal is from Canada $2.99. Lil Dutch Maid box crackers $1.19 and cookies $1.29 are from Texas, and I have e-mailed them thanking them for their product. I no longer trust Walmart, so don't trust their GV brand. I'll compare my local grocery costs, tastes and quality against (China to Arkansas GV) products any day.

Clothes are another story. I wear a lot of local made 1800's clothes and native wear. Socks are US made Dan Post. Fruit of the Loom is from Kentucky. I bought a life time supply at their outlet center close to where they manufacture them several years ago.

But that's just the lifestyle I'm in.

Too bad. Red velvet and cheesecake sounds pretty tasty. I would have bought that on sale June 17th.

Where walmart screwed up was their cultural insensitivity...... it should have been grape and orange sherbet swirl with skittles mixed in.... damned bigots!
