Walmart - why are you so difficult?
I couldn't find pumpkin, and nobody was around to help me. So I sought out 2 qualified (I thought) Walmart employees to see if they could help. Check that, I talked to 3 employees. The first looked at me like I was crazy and said "I am NOT an employee here". Ok wait. So you are at Walmart giving out samples wearing Walmart clothing...but you aren't an employee?
The second was the cashier. When I asked her (after she asked if I found everything alright which to me sounds like an invite to answer truthfully) she replied with "Oh I don't go out in the store". Ok... but you asked me...
The third employee was the manager I assume. I repeated my question and he laughed at me. I guess I am missing the humor with this. Is it not autumn? Time that pumpkin is most relevant?? He proceeded to tell me that it might be out of season and if they had it I would have found it in the seasonal section. No volunteer to go find it for me, or even apologize for laughing at me... so I left.
I think I'll stick with Hornbachers. I just don't appreciate leaving upset everytime I make a trip to Walmart. I know it is cheaper, but that doesn't mean it is worth it.
There is one exception to this. I have a friend that worked there and she was great. But now she is gone and it saddens me when I can't rely on her...even though I only used her a few times to help me out or cheer me up. So good bye Walmart... I can live without you so I will.
On the flipside... it was a beautiful night and I and I got a good run in. I LOVE FALL!!!! Now I just have to find me some pumpkin and make me some delicious fall-like recipes!
I. Hate. Wal-Mart.

ps. bike ride soon?
Totally don't blame you about Walmart! I've been going less and less. I prefer Cashwise because they are still cheaper than Hornbachers, but still have a nice produce and natural section. Though a trip to Honbachers is a must sometimes.. I totally bought like 4 cans on pumpkin there the other day. I'm obsessed! Yay fall :)
ReplyDeleteI skip Walmart because I can find almost everything cheaper somewhere else between sales and coupons...every time I do go to Walmart I hate it!
ReplyDeleteLiz. um. please can we soon???
ReplyDeleteKasey. I haven't been to Cashwise in such a long time! But I do need to check out the natural selection because I remember it being so much bigger than anything else in town... good ideas! I love the pumpkin recipes I keep finding and I cannot wait to try them.
Mrs Lopez?? You have a blog?? How very exciting! Why can't I read it though? :)
i so.... agree with you about Walmart!! I sometimes have to shop there cuz of their scrubs. (my uniform) i LOVE good customer service and excuse me????? they don't know where pumpkin is??? that's almost "unamerican", very unlike the Walmart advertised :)
