MIAMISBURG —

Police had to be called after customers of a Walmart in Miamisburg became unruly when the store closed.

Police from Miami Township were dispatched around 8 p.m. when several customers became upset and unruly when the Walmart in the 8800 block of Kingsridge Drive closed Wednesday for observance of Christmas Eve.

Initial reports say people were trying to enter the store by force before police arrived.

Police say one citation was issued, but no arrests were made.

According to a company website, the location on Kingsridge Drive is normally open 24 hours, but closed at 8 p.m. for the holiday.

And you are correct.

Wonder if they ran out of power carts

Probably couldn’t read the store closing signs.

They were written in cursive..

If you’re still Christmas shopping at 8:00 on Christmas eve at Walmart you’ve done something wrong.

[Popman]

How does “ Sorry we are closed “ does not compute to these people...

I am positive the store posted the holiday hours on the doors...

Entitlement mentality now means you cater to my every whim?

Another good piece of music from the Romantic or Victorian era would be The Trout Quintet by Schubert. Lots of piano strings and flutes.

I work nearby, therefore I can attest to the ethnicity of the demanding shoppers.

I only go to WalMart* when I absolutely have to buy it there. Shoppers I see roaming around are buying by instinct and habit, not comparison shopping. I'm sure a few take a five-finger discount because the price ain't that great on some of the items. Anyway, all items in WalMart* are not the lowest to be found, but some still are.

As I enter I like to observe the big (and I mean BIG) Meth mommas fighting over the half-charged scooters. And the various tatoos they unmodestly flash as they attempt to mount them are gross. Some have the whole US Naval fleet tatooed on their chest, legs, arms, and other places. Almost all have at least one black child in tow. (can't call them racists)

After finding a basket that has 4 round wheels, I get what I came for and get out as quickly as the crowd and the number of available checkers will allow. I never go on a pay day as the place is a zoo, everything has been stripped from the shelves, and the floors littered with merchandise and trash. After the experience, I ask myself if it was worth it to save 10 cents on some store brand item. Each time I vow to never go back, but I do. The thrill of saving a buck drives me.

I could go on, but I have to say the Internet pictorial of WalMart* customers does not do justice compared to a live encounter with them. They're gone outside of ethnic boundaries in into Twilight Zone. Happy shopping...and don't forget the after Christmas sales.

P.S. I think if you can wait a few days, all those Christmas toys they bought for the kids and other returned merchandise will be for sale at huge discounts.

A great way to spend 15 minutes and 30 seconds:

My first thought too...

We go to WalMart for convenience and cheaper average prices. We added their Savings Catcher app to our phones so we could get a refund on items that are on sale at their major local competitors’ stores. Well, that was good for the first month or so. Then suddenly instead of getting back $1 or $2, we started getting only $.01. I decided to rest them because cake mixes were on sale at a local grocery. We bought a bunch of them and a few other things that we knew were cheaper elsewhere. We still got back only $.02. My husband was miffed, and he contacted them. They decided at some point to not compare prices to this particular grocery chain. They told husband that we could price match for that store but that we cannot use Savings Catcher. It is big time fraud on their part. They even put the sales ads for that grocery chain at the front of the store.

As for the interesting shoppers at Wally World, it all depends on the time of day. And I will stop there. Lol

[Texicanus]

Even when WalMart* matches the price of the other stores, I prefer the other stores for their convenience and service.

Yes, time of day is very important as is day of week sometimes.

Our Christmas dinner, thanks to God.

Mushrooms and shallots are a large portion of this recipe.

“No mention of the nature of the folks involved. Why?”

How black were they? I’m just saying...
