I had a call recently by "Gallup Poll" wondering if I would answer a few questions re: Wal-Mart! I said "only if you are willing to hear a complaint when we finish"! She agreed ... I answered the questions ... then told her exactly how I felt about Wal-Mart. I explained how tiny Toto is and that she isn't taken out of her carrier when we are out and there is no way I would allow her to walk on any filthy Wal-Mart floor that I have ever shopped in! I explained to her that she is always with us and that my husband and I can't shop together because one of us has to stay in the car with the air conditioner/heat going depending on the season.
When we were working in Missouri, Wal-Mart was about the only place to grocery shop and one day in the produce department I noticed that the floor was particularily "yucky". As I went over to look at veggies in the counter, a FLOCK of birds flew out and I screamed to the top of my lungs!! It scared me out of my wits ... then I noticed that the "yuck" all over the floor was bird krap!! I almost threw up! They were pecking on the veggies!! I looked up and there was more than a dozen waiting on the ceiling beams to swoop down again! I have seen birds [maybe one or two] in stores before ... they get in when the warehouse doors are opened and I understand this ... but, a whole FLOCK of birds?!? I never shopped in their produce department again and every time we had to buy anything there it just felt nasty! Now, tell me that a tiny Yorkie in your bag is nasty?!?
