Trespassing at Walmart

We all have irritating errands we have to run, grocery, dry cleaners, etc. For many of us this list quite frequently includes either Target or Walmart.

I myself am usually a Target shopper but, the other day on my way home found a Walmart in a slightly closer proximity. I popped in to pick up a few things on my list and quickly remembered why I'm a Target shopper.

Walmart is a magnet for low class women and their spawn. It's amazing! Whether you're in a small town Walmart, a big city Walmart, or a Walmart in the heart of suburbia the second the double automatic doors slide open the scene is always the same. Bunches of women, usually shopping in pairs, in their faded jeans and ratty tee shirts, gabbing while they sluggishly push their carts down the most popular aisles, oblivious to the 9 dirty, unruly children following them. They only pause from their, what I imagine must be deep, conversation to discipline the children when one of then breaks something. These rude women glare intimidatingly at all clean, quiet shoppers without children as they try to edge past. They make the Walmart experience chaotic and excruciating.

While I carefully navigated through the maze of mongrules and their scary mothers, I pondered their situation...
I tried very hard to give these women with their terrible attitudes and lack of social graces the benefit of the doubt. I decided that perhaps their financial situations, lack of family or lack of family support maybe the cause of the bad situation that I and the rest of the Walmart shoppers were forced to endure along with them. I concluded that I myself may have a poor attitude if I had to drag at least 3 children under the age of 6 with me to run my irritating errands. But then...just as I was beginning to empathize with these women I remembered something. I am a logical person. If I had 3 or more small children and a friend in the same position and needed to go to the store, I'd ask her to watch them and of course, I in turn would do the same for her.

Certainly I can't be the only person to come up with this concept. So once again I was confused. Then I came up with another theory. I usually only run into these tacky women and their filthy hellions at Walmart, very rarely at Target. So it must be that it's a territorial thing. They glare at me because I'm trespassing on their turf. I am supposed to shop at Target! They are supposed to shop at Walmart and, we are not supposed to bother each other. As for why they bring all the kids...who cares? That is no concern of mine; us Target shoppers should stay out of their store and mined our own business!

To all of you Walmart shoppers: I apologize. You have my word, I will only shop at Target from this point on. You will never have to put up with me in your stores again!
