You're Loosing my Business
  
    Seriously, how hard is it to keep things stocked that people want to buy. Here is 
the situation, or at least a list of purchases to make: Floss, Day Planner, Soap Dish, 
Shower Rack, Soda, Sheet Straps, Castles, Transformers. After going to both Wal-Mart 
(twice) and K-mart, most of this list remains incomplete. Wal-mart has plenty of Soda 
and plenty of Floss, but unless I'm just blind they don't carry any of th eother items.
  
    Time to take some of that back. They did have the "extras" so we'll give them those. 
Unfortunately Castles 2 (the PC game) wasn't any sort of remake fromt he version I have 
and they didn't have any of the newer Transformers in stock. But, I KNOW they should 
have the sheet straps as my grandpa recently got some for himself at a Wal-Mart about 
a month ago. Not to mention a Soap Dish and a Shower Rack seem like pretty common 
household items.
  
    After searching the shampoo/soap/tampon/drugs section several times. Then seaching 
the "Bedroom & Bathroom" area a couple of times, then back to the shampoo etc area then 
to the laundry detergent/cleaning supplies area, there is still no Dish or Rack to be 
found.
  
    K-Mart did have a Day Planner I liked but it was for 2003. Not too useful at this 
point in time. That one isn't too much of a preblem, I can get one at the school 
bookstore. Also K-mart DID have a Soap Dish. The problem is they had A dish and it was 
exactly like the shitty one I threw out last year and am currently trying to replace. 
What's so hard about a square soap dish with a lid that completely covers the sides. 
Everyone has these egg shapped "Keen Klear Kolored" plastic things that leak like hell 
and turn the soap into a huge glob of mush.
  
    The moral here is Wal-Mart may be fucking lame, but they are still a hell of a lot 
cheaper than those horrible specialty stores that put queerfuck butterflies and hearts 
molded onto all thier products. Also K-Mart is usually pretty bad in general, not only 
are the section unorganized like Wal-mart but the merchandaise int he section is usually 
all over the place and half opened. So support slave labor and support Wal-Mart.
