A Grievous Error…

OK Wal-Mart store #1340 in Lithonia, GA (the outskirts of Atlanta) — I’ve got a bone to pick with you!

Now I know that celly pix aren’t all that great, but try bringing a real camera into a Wal*Mart Stupor-Center. [Blogger's Note: I don't mean actually TRY, I mean that you would probably be out on your ear.] There are THREE generations of cardbacks present (as far as I can tell). So store #1340, I am calling you out.  You even have the audacity to have these for sale for $6.63! (Note the green stickers that have older, lower prices marked out.)

I’m also calling on you — the few, the proud, the Blogger readers — to document these "grievous errors", and (assuming readers across the United States can operate a cell-cam) I will make it my  mission to present as many "Fails" as possible at least once a week. Make note of the store’s numeric ID. Some stores have signs, some have banners, and almost all of them have ST#XXX on receipts. (Buy a Coke Zero Cherry, and keep money pouring into the ATL — we need it.)

Do not annoy management, and do not provoke any of the store’s employees. (Just remember that everything is useless without pix.) Also, and this is a point I cannot stress strongly enough: If you are under the age of 18, you are not eligible to participate in any way, shape, or form. (Sorry, kids, but the Intermess™ is a crazy, crazy place, and retail is even crazier — it’s just too dangerous to mix all three together.)

***Creepy side-note here: If you Google "Wal-Mart 1340" it shows you a map of that location.  (Google is about 85% of the way to becoming Skynet.)

   Dude, my local store still has those bloody Naboo & Endor figures floating around.  They’ve disappeared ith the reset on Saturday, but they’ve been back on the pegs, first in the clearance section, then on a sidekick & finally right back in the middle of the main SW section for quite a few months.  Right around 20 total still.  And all at $6.63 each.  I even mentioned it to the broad (I use that term fairly accurately) who I do believe is in charge of the Toy Dept. a month or so ago & she just brushed me off with a "Whatever" (paraphrasing, can’t recall exactly what she said).  I had even pointed out the fact they are 3 years old!  The only person in the toy dept. at that store who has any clue is the overnight guy.  Hell, the manager put all of the clearance stuff in the main boys aisle for the past month or so.  Idiots.

   OK… just snap a pic or get a mate to snap one surreptitiously. Carbondale, IL deserves special attention.

   Like I said, the figures have disappeared during the reset.  If they pop back up I’ll see what I can do about a pic.
