Wal-Mart Fail

 So I walk into Wal-Mart yesterday to pick up a few random items.  Going to Wal-Mart is usually a miserable experience even when things go well, but for some reason the combination of low prices, everything all in one place and being on my way home from work keeps me coming back.  Yesterday however, was a complete and utter failure.  I went in to pick up items so I could do an oil change on my truck and get a tarp to cover my patio furniture.  All things that should be no problem to find at the brand new Super Wal-Mart.  Think again.  Mobile synthetic motor oil?  Completely sold out, not a drop to be had of any grade, much less 5W-30.  Oil filter for my truck?  Not a chance.  Had every other filter in stock except filters for 2005 Toyota Tacomas.  And tarps?  I'm not even sure now that they sell them, but it would seem to be a reasonable thing for a Wal-Mart to carry.

So I lost an hour of my life yesterday to Wal-Mart and have absolutely nothing to show for it.

Ahhh, I hate Wal-Mart. You're right, the prices are unbelievable, but when I walk into a Target and the clerks are friendly and there are 2x as many cashier lanes open as compared with Wal-Mart, it makes the slightly higher cost all worthwhile to my sanity. haha

Hope you're doing well. how's school going?

Yeah, Wal-mart seems to leave me with a miserable experience even when I get what I came for. And I agree, I think why I'm such a fan of Target, is still semi-lower prices with service.
