Quote of the Day, Wal*Mart edition

Heh:
But hey, TrailerParkTrashMart, thanks for opening the market up for every other brick-and-mortar firearms retailer in the country, and eliminating your loss-leader negotiating position to sell firearms below cost just to drive littler guys out of business. Firearms makers can now tell you to kiss their ass when you want their product cheaper year-over-year. That just ended too, whether you figured it out or not. Sam is probably spinning in his grave, and his half-wit kinfolk heirs clearly haven't the wits to run a roadside chicken stand. If he were alive, he'd kick their asses, then disown them all.

... 
I'll still visit your stores though.
Just to use the bathroom.
80-20 my turds land in the middle of the floor though, or in the sink bowl, every time.
Have fun with that. I sure will.
Be a real shame if something that simple caught on nationwide.

Remember, guys, the enemy always gets a vote. ;)
And I'll be eating a lot more ethnic foods, and voting often.
Got a hankerin' for some Panda Express broccoli beef today...

"Cleanup on Aisle 2..."
The whole thing is as good.  The Raconteur Report: purveyors of quality rants since 2008 ...

While there might be a lot of joy and personal contentment in performing such an act, all you will accomplish is 1)getting the restrooms locked to public use, and 2)causing some poor, minimum-wage (this is Walmart, after all,) shlub the unfortunate task of having to clean up after you. I guarantee that the melonheads who made this decision to restrict weapon and ammunition sales will never have to clean it up, and most likely will never even know that your dirty deed had been done.

I went to Walmart today because it's the only option in this asset-stripped slice of rural Texan paradise.

I sent cash to a friend who can't get it together to work out other and better systems.

Did I buy anything else? No. Was the store empty? Yes.

Murphy beat me to it.

Defecating on the floor and leaving it for some poor minimum wage worker to clean up is the kind of thing David Hogg and Gabby Giffords would do.

We're better than that.

What's happening to Walmart's family is fairly typical of multi-generational families with huge operations.

The four generation behavior models are as follows:

Thunder
Wonder
Blunder
Plunder

And it happens every time.

We used to call it "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations." At my old company the C-suite was the third generation; to their credit, they were very leery of debt and determined to grow the company: slowly, but they were good stewards of the founder's legacy. I stay in loose touch with them.
