well, only slightly off topic, while coming out of walmart the other day (at aroudn 10:30 PM (this is at 281 and 1604) my wife and I were stopped because one of the RFI transmitters they conceal in products now adays was not turned off. The guy at the door came over with a wand and started scanning our cart, then when nothing came up after a few swipes, asked for my wifes purse, I was incensed and told him to try the cart again, that he was going to have to call a cop if he wanted to scan her, or her purse. After diligently searchin through the bags for 10 minutes he finally found the item, her new dayplanner. Meanwhile, people are walking in and out of the store, looking at us like pariahs. Walmart lost our business forever that day, the situation could have, and should have been handeled better, as we had just finished psending almost 800 dollars on office supplies for her company, I think it highly unlikely anyone who goes in and spends that much is going to steal something... ridiculous.
We also had a problem using our card that day, but they let us do it anyway. When someone who is 6'5 and weighs in at 320 or so starts getting mad, people tend to be nicer. I don't make a habit of it, but it sure cuts through peoples bad attitudes in a hurry. I like my wifes way better though, she smiles and bats her pretty eyes...
much more effective. (at least on men!)
"Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind." ~ Jack Handey
