Crazy $H*T I saw at Wal-Mart today

[MrPopo]

Excuse me? What exactly am I "cooling". I didn't curse. I didn't make inaccurate comments w/o reading the thread. I didn't suggest someone edited their comments.

You're claiming that because you didn't raise your voice while fighting with Dsh that you're in the right. That shit won't fly.

I saw two guys having a machete fight over a $1.00 copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga. I had my machete with me but didn't get involved. Looked like a crap game.

Not at Walmart but another store that has taken away from the independent smaller stores. My daughter bought the wrong type of tile, this store has a deep rooted curse, the mandatory 3 trips to get a project done.

Home Depot
I needed tile to cover the bottom of my son's lizard cage. Yeah I know its strange, but the tiles are better for his claws over sand, keeps out infection caused by sharp sand crystals cutting between his fingers. The dimensions I needed were 16" wide by 30" long. To minimize the sand between the amount of tile gaps where grout would normally go, I wanted to go as large on the tile as possible. Floor tile is very difficult to cut, so I wanted wall tile which is softer material for my hand grinder cutoff wheel.

I was determined not to make a 3rd trip, lifting the Home Depot curse.

CRTGAMER "An unusual request, I would like some wall tile to place in the floor of my Lizard cage."
Employee - "You cannot use wall tile on the floor."
CRTGAMER - "It is for a lizard cage, I'm not worried about durability. I need wall tile since it is easier to cut. I need tile at least sixteen inches wide"
Employee - "You can't hang wall tile that large, its too heavy."
CRTGAMER - "Look, I don't think you understand. The tile is for the bottom of a lizard cage."
Employee - "Let me explain, wall tile that large is too heavy, besides it cannot be used on floors."
CRTGAMER - "Just show me the largest wall tile you carry. Is this wall tile?"
Employee "I need to look it up."
CRTGAMER - "Forget it, call me a manager."

While the employee looks for a manager, I find another employee who was a lot more knowledgeable. Instead of beating around the bush, he stated wall tile is not made that big. Ah, why didn't the first employee tell me this! Two hard heads butting against each other still would not cut the tile er mustard. The second employee offered to cut any large floor tile to the correct size I needed. Thank You! Got two pieces of tile custom cut and fit the lizard cage just right, no gap between the two pieces. My son's lizard now has a room upgrade.

Ah, why didn't the first employee tell me this!

He tried to, he just didn't do a good job. "You can't hang wall tile that big" implies that they don't make wall tile in that size.

Wrong. The only thing I "claimed" was that I know the purpose of my own thread.

What I don't claim to know is why after the thread was back on track you made a point to "cool" us off 10 hours later.

Yeah, figured that out afterwards. His callous attitude of delivery had me thinking he thought I meant doing a project on the wall. The start of the fire when he right away stated I could not use wall tile as floor tile. It was getting silly, the Who's on first routine.

Yeah, if someone asks me about something and I don't know the answer, I just try and find another employee who does.

I like their frozen fruit. It's quite yummy. I mixed up a bowl of it yesterday and had it for lunch (after it thawed).

I eat mine while still frozen. Same with frozen mixed vegetables. I probably eat two pounds of frozen veggies and three to four pounds of frozen fruit a week. I know it is odd, but I prefer them frozen. Plus my dog likes to snack on frozen veggies with me, so its fun to share with her.


Wait? Were dish and mjmjr not just fooling around?

Back on topic please.

I remember the night I found out just how useful those Wal*Mart scooters are. My Ex has Scoliosis. Her back was aching terribly one day while we were shopping at Wal*Mart. It got so bad she had trouble walking (even with her cane), so we went to the front of the store to get her an electric scooter. This is when our Wal*Mart trip became a learning experience.

She sat down in the scooter, but couldn't reach the foot peddle. She's very short (in part because of scoliosis), and the scooter was huge. I told her that I'd adjust the seat for her. Not so simple. It turns out there is no way to adjust the seat. Those scooters are designed just for tremendously large shoppers. If you have scoliosis (a legitimate disability) the chairs cannot be adjusted to fit you. I asked customer service if they could get us a chair her size. Nope.

Thanks a lot Wal*Mart.

Weird, I've never seen any of those electric scooters with pedals. All of the ones we have are controlled at the top by the steering handle.
