Another walmart story....

My husband and I went shopping today and one of the places that we stopped is at Walmart. We very, very rarely shop there and the only reason why we went there today was to get a product that we cannot find anywhere else (and they were out of it). So, we go in grab a few other things we see and get to the checkout. The lines are a mile long...you know, all 4 lanes they had open. We finally get out of the store and get to the truck and both my husband and I stop dead in our tracks! All we could smell was urine! I am not talking about a wet diaper...I am talking port-a-potty. And, this is not the first time we have noticed this at that particular store and we don't park in the same place every time. Now, I am not trying to bash Walmart but OMG that is just gross. Do they not clean their parking lots? I know just about everyone has a Walmart story...this one wasn't too bad but I have actually seen someone walking around with a catheter bag strapped to their leg while wearing shorts....ugh!

The same thing happens here in Mexico. Lines are always 10 plus here. Store and rest rooms are dirty. Parking lot are clean, because other companies take care of that.

That is why I was so surprised because this is outside the store. I don't know if it is maybe the sewer drains but the smell is horrible. And, this store is dirty but I think they are remodeling part of it so hopefully they will get it cleaned up.

I think the long lines in Walmart are a universal thing. You are probably right, they are probably all sitting somewhere watching everyone and laughing!

I use to work at walmart 6 years ago, before I got sick with cancer, everything better now,but when I first started working in this store, it's like every other day, the police would be there to arrest some one, for stealing, I shop at walmart ever now and then, I try to only go there to pick up my medications only, I like going to other stores, when I have to buy other items.

First of all, I am glad you are doing well. There usually is a police officer at this Walmart as well...either parked outside or walking around by the cashiers. I think it is an easy target because they are so cluttered making it easy to sneak around. My husband is head of security of a large company...he points things out like that all the time to me when we are out.
