Walmart

by Joan Serratelli

Someone once told me

BEFORE this sleepy resort town

had one

That “Walmart” was like

a computer virus

Every town would

eventually have one



The next year

a Walmart cropped

up across the street



After going there

once or twice

I was NOT thrilled

Did not particularly like

like the store



Little by little,

I began buying things

Now, I LOVE clothes

would rather buy

clothes than

anything else

LOVE sales; love bargains

Even if I won the

NJ Lottery today

I would call a chauffeur

and go

….. to outlet stores

in Atlantic City



I buy ….

CLOTHES

in WALMART



I’m VERY picky

about clothes



Line for line

a lot of the clothes

I buy at Walmart

is sold for appreciatively more

in other stores



Is there a stigma

about buying clothes

in Walmart?



I don’t drive

I can go to Walmart,

Kmart, JcPenny,

Ross, or Pebbles



Out of the stores

listed;

I buy the bulk

of new clothes

in Walmart



OMG!!!!



Let me go hide!!



The former JAP



buys clothes

at Walmart!!!!!


What is this world
coming to????

LOL! We have them here in Canada too. Seem to have replaced the old K-Marts. Certain things I buy at Walmart, and they do a great job of photo finishing at a decent price, compared to the photography name chain here called Black's. Not sure if you have those in the States.
