3. Good. Maybe folks will start going to other stores and

find out how much better they are than Wally World - both in customer service and merchandise (and for not that MUCH more).

8. What "other stores" will be open in the disaster area?

[Clark2008]

12. Maybe none in the disaster area, but I'm sure

there are other stores besides Wally Worlds to go to.

Besides, I was being obtuse. I just hate Wal-Mart and relish in any bad thing that befalls them. Not very Christian of me, I'm sure, but I can't help it.

5. Bush will pray for them.

Maybe send troops in to clear the aisles of debris.

16. They were barely getting paychecks when the Walmarts were open.

Certainly not a living wage.

20. Hey, sundog.

The lizards are looking for you. I can totally understand why you would want to avoid them, however.

21. holy fuck

:hug:

[Trigger Hippie]

23. What a tragedy. All those innocent

Wal-Marts, in the prime of life. Now, snuffed out. So sad, so sad. :(

[durablend]

26. Gotta look at the 'bright side'

Once the wallop of gas/oil prices hit, they wouldn't have been able to afford to run the place anyway (that and the lack of customers and/or increase of shoplifters probably wouldn't help)

[kick-ass-bob]

24. WHy is this even a fucking story?!??!

:grr: building to insane levels...

[proud patriot]

25. pardon me while I couldn't give a shit about Walmart this moment
