People Suck

I order groceries on line and pick them up at Walmart. Very convenient as I just pick a day and time, drive to the store and park in one of the designated pick up spots, and they bring my stuff out and load it in the trunk. The pick up spots are a line of parking places, I think there are about a dozen on both sides, and they are very near the door so they can get to the waiting cars quickly. Well lately I have noticed empty cars parked in the spots. Today there were two and one guy came out and got in his nice new Chevy pickup and drove off. I don't park in spots reserved for vets, or handicapped, or pregnant mamas, and it pisses me off when other folks do.

Lazy, self centered people that received participation awards.
agree and most of the time it's the ones where a little walking would do them some good
No Bro, there groceries are first rate. It's their tires that suck. 😉
The secret? Bar codes. A row of parallel lines that represent 1’s and zero’s to a computer or hand held electronic device.
I get exactly the brand I want. I pick out what items I want and how many. Now I really don't care where you buy anything. i am just giving you crap. But there is no way WM is selling the same tires I have on my vehicles, and all three have Michelins, $300.00 cheaper than I pay. They may be selling something, but not the same thing. The last time I was in WM I was buying a Mobile One oil filter for my little Chevy Cavalier. I opened the box to make sure the o ring was there. It was not the same metal clad filter I always buy but some plastic cheap o. I checked the number and opened some others and they were the same. I went to a parts store and, yes, I paid a couple of buck more, but I got the quality part I wanted. I don't care where you buy them, there is no way you are going to buy a $750.00 set of tires for $450.00. There is just not enough mark up. Like I said, I don't care where you buy whatever, but they are not the same tires.
Some people suck. Most folks are good folks. Myself, I attempt to fit in with the good folks.
I guess we will have to agree not to agree on this one ricci. I park in those empty spaces myself as there must be a row and a half for pickup and never more than a car or two there. while the rest of the lot is jam packed. I DON'T park in the handicapped or for pregnant spots and won't as there is a reason these spaces are close to the door for ease of customer for folks who need the help. as far as I am concerned someone who doesn't want to take 10-15 minutes to shop for their own groceries can drive around for a parking space the same as me. so yes I guess I am one of those who suck...........
Having to dodge those order pickers at Wally World is really annoying. When I 1st saw them I thought they were stocking shelves. Nope they are picking orders for those too lazy to shop for themselves. 😱
Walmart is a fact of life out in the sticks. There really is no avoiding shopping there when you live in the middle of nowhere.
When going to the big city, I prefer to shop at Sam's or Costco - the yearly membership does a good job at keeping "the poors" out of the store.
Another instance of "suckie people": Again at Walmart(whooda thunk it) when they had the one lane entrance thing going at the beginning of the KungFloo debacle. Quite a few people stacked up trying to stay 6' apart and still get to the door and this one 'heavy set DUDE' was just meandering along holding up the line as he shuffled along. At first, I thought maybe he was handicapped but then I realized that large bump on his ankle was his 'probation bracelet'. Finally I said "Hey Mister, the rest of us are in a hurry so if you're waiting on something step aside and let the rest of us pass". GEEZ, you'd have thought I'd slapped him and he puffed up like a rooster until a woman several folks back went a bit further and said "Yeah, get out of the way, I have to get to work". I couldn't have gotten away with that but she did and the DUDE started walking with a purpose.
Guess the lazy cotton picker had no better place to be nor in a hurry to get there and figured everyone else was the same.
Sociopathy is a common disease.
Well hillbilly, I agree with part of your comment.
I'm in the habit of dropping my wife off at the grocery store & running other errands while she's shopping. On my return, I park in the aisle, across the empty pickup spots where I can see the front door. The delivery people have asked me to move & even told me to park in the fire zone, DUH. I won't discuss the dolts who pull up behind me & are too stupid to go around.
With the price of meat and produce I want to pick out my own purchases. What is really irritating is after parking farther away and dodging all of the personal shoppers in the store you find out there are hardly any cashiers available. When I made a comment about the long lines and the wait the manager told me he can't get enough help to staff the registers. I just pointed at all of the employees gathering orders for the drive up folk and said why don't you use a couple of them? Bob
