WalMart Adds To My Frustration

walmart has done it again, and really pissed me off this time...a few weeks ago they instituted their new policy of only selling cigarettes from the tobacco counter, which was a big pain, because they only have one lane designated for that...annoying, but livable, though i hated making people only needing a thing or so wait longer, because i was buying a carton of cigs as part of normal shopping....their rational for this change was to prevent sale of cigarettes to minors...i'm really not sure how this matters, but then who ever said logic dictates such decisions...anyway, today they changed the policy to make the tobacco lane a 10 item or less only lane...this is totally idiotic...i guess they want us smokers to shop elsewhere...after all it isn't like i am going to make a separate trip to the store just to buy smokes...asking why they had done this, i was told it is corporate policy...gee, i never would have guessed that such a boneheaded idea came from corporate...the store manager seemed to think that i was crazy for being miffed about the change, and that my reply to their lack of interest in a customer's feelings on shopping in their establishment of no consequence, stating that this was most likely going to force me to shop at Brookshires, despite high prices, follishness...well fuck them, and their lame ass policies...brookshires it will be...it might be different if it wasn't a 20 minute round trip drive to either store, but i'm not gonna make special trips into town to suit them...fuckers...
