2 invisible bags ... it just didnt look like a 140$ cart I went out, u turned and back to the check stand. Was intercepted by "management" then after checking with the clerk I was "invited" to the customer service line to plead my case for my own cash, which was ultimately reunited to my wallet after a few photos by security Im sure. arrrrrrgh .... big pout bullwinkle

Walmart is evil, shop somewhere else. Better yet, grow and make all your own stuff and quit consuming from evil corporations. Shop locally and help your community. Shop at Walmart and help folks elsewhere. The minimum wage part time jobs Walmart provides cancels out better jobs when the mom and pop stores are closed down.

I know they are evil ... the mom and pop where i normally get his food in kona being closed on sunday when the ride was there
.... although there is no guarantee the mom and pops pay a living wage either in my opinion, retail is hard ...
I try local whenever I can .... speaking of that and offering a pitch for local as atonement .... hilo products has some great white pine apples these days the oranges good too... woof and I burn through a good 10 lbs a week at a 1.00 a pound for really fresh ones
they are over by the argus lumber etc... cash and carry only, bring small bills they will love you forever, Hilo products being wholesalers I try to buy at least 20$ at a time to make it worth both our whiles

I don't know if a publicly owned corporation can rightly be called "evil" but if they have an item at the lowest price around then I'm buying it there. And so will most people, judging by the parking lot.

to drift way off topic... but what the heck...there is still some coffee left. Sears and Roebuck - it goes back that far.......In the old west one of em would swing by moms and pops ... offer to buy them out cheap... if mom and pop didn't sell.... the other would swing by a week later and shoot them.
I remember this story from some history / business course in the day... me thinks more analogy to business style than fact. Although....... if one reads how walmart destroyed the last us based crt (tv) tube builder things haven't changed much
and yes the woof eats oranges - if they are sweet enough... white pineapple too I figure it clears his palate.
now back to regular programing
