He's right about the birds though. There's always a couple swooping around in the grocery section. Birds are a real problem in any large store , stores with big open doors at their loading docks. They create health hazards in deli areas and produce sections.

I slept in my car in a wal mart parking lot last April, a Chicago April, so it was cold. Who needs a motel when Walmart is there. Plus there were 3 RVs and 4 Trucks there so I wasn't alone. Next depression instead of Hoovervilles, there will be Walmartvilles.

This kid essentially overnights at a 24 hour store and gets more media exposure than most of our soldiers deployed in combat. It's a funny old world.

I spent my breaks on a beach, chasing girls...having a good time. Whippersnapper!
We spent our Easter Vacations...yes, I said, EASTER VACATIONS; nobody had ever heard of "Spring Break" back then...writing three or four papers; and reading at least one long, pretentious snoozer of an outdated novel, and having a book report ready to turn in when "vacation" was over.
Same deal went for CHRISTMAS VACATION.
That was when we had "semesters", and "vacations" (a misnomer, if ever there were one) came in the middle of one, rather than at the end of a "quarter" (that is really treated as a "third") so teachers (and later, profs) just looked at it as an opportunity to lay on some extra assignments "to keep us out of trouble".
Can you tell I'm bitter & jealous? LOL

Just read this article, Kind of interesting. The kid should just get a medal for being able to stand it for that long in Walmart.
To: Gabz
He was never out to get Wal-Mart, he explained. This wasn't supposed to be an expose.
Bartels didn't burst through the door stewing about low wages, poor working conditions or the way the big chain chews up Mom and Pop.
The kid didn't bash WalMart but the author sure wanted him to.

I slept overnight in a department store in the bedding department. Geez, Petronski, when we said "get a room, you two," you could have at least sprung for a decent hotel. :-)
To: Cagey
He could have just bought a house and spent spring break at Home Depot or Lowes.

Heh heh heh. NO COMMENT
BTW, you ever been to Paris? "Decent hotel" is a relative term. The star ratings work as follows:
* "Filty tourist trap in a closet"
** "Clean touristy hotel in a closet"
*** "Financing available, or you can sell your kidney...we know some people"

Technically, 24 hours and two seconds could span "a few days."

He should go there shopping with my wife sometimes Now that's just downright BAD........my husband drives me nuts in there - I go in get what I need and leave - but no...........when we shop together it's an all day affair.
I'm a weird woman - I HATE shopping.
