When they show you who they are... believe them.
Yesterday I braved the hell of Walmart to shop for groceries. A very small budget, and as few things as I could get that we absolutely needed. It was packed full of people and carts, the Walmart shoppers with their huge pallet sized bins doing pick-up orders. The new digital pricing are TINY sized, hard to read and are magnetic... easily dislodged so about 4 of the 24 items I needed were missing entirely, having been knocked down. I grabbed an item from the freezer and barely touched one myself which fell off and down through the grates of the freezer shelves. By the time I battled my way through, and went through the scan-and-go self-check out to avoid the surly, rude and awful cashiers I had thought to myself that Walmart had become a battle zone and it was like going to war just to get through the people, carts and blocked aisles to finally have to scan your own groceries and pay the $125 for the items I bought the smallest amount, cheapest brand, etc. that we needed.
Side note: my husband has had one (1) day off in the last 4 1/2 weeks. One. He's gotten up at 4:20 for work. He's returned home at 11:00 from work. He has to cover no-shows and call-ins that are lazy and liars. Money is so tight we're wracking up the credit cards just to get by. We are white-middle-class. The hard workers paying for everything others are getting for free.
And then I wake to have my morning coffee and see headlines like this....
My eyes were opened to the fraud of scheming behind the 'breast cancer' cause years and years ago. Then my eyes were opened to the crazy high salaries of Directors and Presidents of "non-profits" and their staff. Red Cross and other 'helpful' organizations are rolling in the bonuses and benefits on top of their salaries. Here is Autism and "homelessness" joining the throngs. So basically... everyone sucks.
