Wal-to-the-Mart


It's no secret that Walmart gets a bad wrap. I mean there are entire websites devoted to making fun of the clientele. And I have to admit that before we moved here, I was worried about having to shop at the Piggly Wiggly and Walmart as I have been a loyal Trader Joes and Target girl for years.

One thing I have found out since living here is that Walmart just isn't that bad. It's actually, well, really nice! Our local Walmart is really big, clean, and full of happy workers. We even have a nail salon inside. Talk about one stop shopping. They have a place to recycle plastic bags and their meat selection is unbelievable. That was one of the first things I noticed when we moved here. Wow - southerners must really like their meat because they seem to stock twice as much as the grocery stores back home.

I'm not saying that everything is perfect at Walmart. We did notice this shirt on display as we walked toward the check out line:


But this shirt was hanging right behind it:


I just went ahead and felt free to rearrange the inventory. It never hurts to try to leave things a little bit better than they were before.
