Eh, it wasn't so bad today. Really boring mostly. It was really slow...and very very hot. Can you imagine walking around an asphalt parking lot in 90 some odd degree weather for thirty minutes while collecting carts?
It was atrocious. Blah.
Yesterday...well by now I should say sunday, Me and Eric went on an epic journey. It began innocent enough, a game of pool. We played and had fun, and I made some pretty damn good shots. Then we went to Wendy's for fooooood. And then we had an idea. It was around 8:30. We thought, hey...wouldn't it be awesome if we went and got the Bleach Season 3 box set now and we can watch it. And so we quickly thought of all the places we could get it, and we were off. First stop, Best Buy. Yeah, it probably has it but surprisingly it closes at 7:30 on sundays...wtf? Then we check Barnes and Nobel next door, just in case. Nothing. We hopped into the Camaro and off we went, heading for the nearest Target. On the way we ran into a K-mart, so we thought we would check it out. At this point its 8:43. We figured since it was Sunday shit would close at 9 so if we wanted those discs, we would have to find it fast. We raced into the shopping center and into the electronics section only to find...they have a very pitiful video section. Extremely pitiful. So we dashed out of the store and flung ourselves into the Camaro and sped off for the Target. We reached it at 8:51. We rushed into the soon to be closed store and looked for the DvDs...and we found that like K-mart, Targets selection of DvD's failed to meet any expectations. And we became stumped. Where to go next we wondered. And then it hit me. A mile or so away, next to a Steak n Shake, A walmart. OF COURSE, Walmart had to have it! AND being the corporate hound it is, its probably open late cause they dont give a crap about religion. So we decided that Walmart was our next stop. We raced to Walmart, glad to see the parking lot was still packed. Considerably so actually. When we went into the store, it was extremely busy. We ran to the electronics department, and there...sitting on a shelf by its lonesome self, Was Bleach Season 3 Box Set. It was the only Bleach item on the shelf. No other DvD's or Box sets. Just the one we wanted. For twenty dollars cheaper than Best Buy. And so concluded our epic adventure. We watched a few episodes with Desi and then went home. I know, not as awesome of an ending, but all in all I loved it. :)

Walmart is the devil.... Do you know how many people died for you to have that box set? ..... One. That one employee who won't feed his family tonight.. Is the payoff really that good?
ReplyDelete(Oh btw, dude I'm thinking about starting up a foundation for a cause, get this: for 80 cents a day you can save 5 walmart employees in beijing from starvation. That way they can keep working for walmart=) May the smiley face of doom never drop your price.)
