My local Wal-Mart still carries Waverace and Odama for the the Gamecube both are $50. It also carries a ton of GBA games for $5 nothing good though.

My local Dollar Tree had about 50 of each Football and Rugby 2007 for the Xbox for a $1. I didn't buy any though.

My Wal-Mart is full of smelly people and lazy cashiers. I think the smelly people may be for sale, not sure as I have never inquired.

I avoid Wal-Mart like I avoid killer bees. So far, I've been pretty efficient.

Regarding the titles still sitting around at $50, I'm pretty sure if you were to pull aside a manager and have him talk to someone higher up that they'd be willing to work something out to clear out the games.

Wal-Mart has managers?

What seems to amaze me is that our Wal-Mart has about 50 check out stations, out Target has about 12, both have the same amount of customers. Of course this just be in my town.

Wal-Mart has about 10 cashiers actually working, and you probably wait in line for at least 5 minutes. Target has around 6 cashiers working, and you probably wait in line for a maximum of two minutes, and the cashiers even put the purchased items back in the cart.

At our Target, the cashiers smile, ask how you're doing, and if you found what you were looking for. At our Wal-Mart, the cashiers don't utter a word, and look at you like you are an asshole (well, I can be an asshole, but not all the time).

Well, I didn't want to generalize.

Sad state we're in.

maybe you should try engaging them first. try something like, "hey you FAT PIECE OF SHIT, why the FUCK aren't you FUCKING SMILING AT ME?! PUT MY SHIT IN MY CART YOU STUPID BITCH!!!!"

they'd probably be a lot more receptive to you if you did something like that. just gotta reach out, man!
