F&*(^n' Walmart

Just try to locate the bell in this picture. I was tempted to go find a bell that Wal-Mart was selling and then ring it, but seeing as how we couldn't spot an employee within 20 yards, I'd be mistaken for a Salvation Army worker.



Finally - after going all the way over to customer service - we did get a worker. Who informed us that they were in the middle of updating their paint center and they were out of several types of paint. Including the one we wanted.

But he might be able to get a different kind of gloss to work. Kristie handed him the paint square and he began punching information into the computer.

Twenty minutes later . . . he had to call for his manager. It took two managers and this employee to inform us that it wasn't going to work.

So we went to Paint and Glass and got exactly what we wanted, from someone who knew exactly what he was talking about.

Sure, we probably paid twice as much.

But every extra penny was worth it.

Lesson learned.

Wal-Mart sucks.
