After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Walmart. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.

Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Walmart

Dear Mrs. Woolf,

Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Woolf, are listed below and are "documented by our video surveillance cameras":

1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-
minute intervals.

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official
voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the
employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted in management getting involved causing management to lose time and costing the company money.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to reserve a bag of
chips.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the
children shoppers they could come in if they would bring pillows and
blankets from the bedding department - to which twenty children
obliged.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began
crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
Emergency Medics were called.

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the Sports department, he
asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the Store suspiciously while loudly
humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed
through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 22: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed the fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!

15. Took a box of condoms to the checkout clerk and asked where the fitting room was.

And last, but not least:

16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, and then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in
here.' One of the Staff passed out.

Good way to start a Friday Jeff. I heard this several years ago. It's always interesting to see the reactions...and....it's also a good way to get out of SHOPPING in Walmart.

I can't stand shopping either. Best idea, if you must go. Have a list, and use it quick.

Look for this guy on the way in...and out....5430. As Walter would say 5431

"Get your shit and get out!"

I once went into a nationwide retail store, got on the intercom and made the following announcement...


"Attention K-Mart shoppers... there is a Blue Light special in our sporting goods department... all bowling balls and accessories are 50% off for the next 5 minutes!"

I was in Sears at the time.

Marcus. Isn't doing something like that....everybody's dream?

I always wished I could announce a special at the back of the store when I saw how crowded all of the CHECK OUT registers were. Been a long, long time since I actually went shopping. So, I just get to hear all the lousy stories second hand.

I had a friend whose father was manager of a large dept store. And one of his regular customers was Tommy Smothers. You could be sure that when Tommy came in such an announcement was bound to come over the loud speaker. Along with many other ridiculous offers and comments. If you looked up in the office you could watch my friends father and Tommy struggling over the microphone. They were good friends so he was in the office a lot. He just had to be closely watched.
