Walmart Success! (But Not Without Irritation)

My daughter and I finally went to Walmart today to get her school supplies.  There were many irritations and frustrations along the way.  First, why do people who have buggies insist on ignoring you when trying to get through the isle?  I mean, you see me trying to get through and be nice about it but you just want to be an asshole about it!  UGH!!!

Then I'm in line to pay for my things. The couple in front of me have an overflowing buggy of grocery garbage.  I mean bad for you processed crap that they are obviously not paying for themselves. Their clothes are so dirty and disgusting along with their child.  Now, don't get me wrong, we do have our fair share of low income people but this takes the cake.  This couple didn't even look like they were over 21 years old!!  Seriously! What the fuck is wrong with this couple? Why can't they get off their asses and work?  It really pisses me off when I see people in grocery stores with one or more overflowing buggies of crap for free!  It really does, especially when they haven't worked a day in their lives to at least make a contribution to the world. I am actually paying for their crap they get to take home and eat, while I have to watch my money and stay on a fucking budget.

This couple were old enough to at least work at a fast food restaurant and afford decent housing. I know because I have been there.  I have worked and was considered poverty level but I NEVER asked for nor considered any government assistance with the exception of Hurricane Katrina.  That was a different issue.  Anyway, I know what it's like to not have a lot of money.  Hell, I don't have a lot of money now considering I pay for everything in the house except the rent and most groceries. That's what the husband handles, since he is a "metal artist." Pffftt, he doesn't know what it's like to have a real job and pay all of the utility bills, insurances, car note, phone bill, and whatever our daughter may need i.e. school supplies, uniforms and school shoes.  All of that adds up and then some.

UGH!!  I could go on and on about that but it will just get me more frustrated than I should be right now.  So, the couple had some type of check to pay for their crappy groceries but the cashier said they couldn't use it. I forgot why but it was legitimate.  Needless to say, they were able to pay for their crappy groceries with their food stamp card.  Must be nice to live off the government for free.

So, that was how my Walmart escapade went today.
