I went to WalMart today to pick up some things. I haven't been to Walmart in about 3 years and never to the one I went to today.
On my list was a wall calendar. I roamed around and around their stationery and greeting cards area, going up and down the aisles several times. I saw some guy with a WalMart vest on but try as I might to catch his attention I couldn't because he was flitting around here and there a the speed of light!
Finally I managed to yell loud enough to get him to stop and asked him where the calendars were. His reply?
"I don't know. I've had lots of people ask me that but I don't know where they are." and he turned to leave.
I quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve to stop him and said "I've been up and down the stationery aisle numerous times and I can't see any. Can you please go and find out where the calendars are?"
So he leaves to go and find out. He comes back and tells me that the has asked a number of staff if they know and everyone said that they do carry calendars but no one knows where they are! He said he could go and ask the store manager. So he went and paged the store manager to ask him. He comes back to tell me that the store manager told him that they do carry calendars but no one knows where they are.
I then went to customer service and asked the girl where the calendars are. She tells me that there is a huge stack of them ... and she points to the aisle by the chocolates and greeting cards. I told her the only calendars there are Christmas Advent calendars. I just want a regular wall calendar for 2008. She said there was a big stack of them. I told her there was $10.00 in it for her if she could go to where she was pointing and find me a calendar. Of course she couldn't find one because they aren't there!
I finally found a calendar for $1.00 at the checkout stand. It's a Walmart petshop calendar. Turns out it's too big for the space I need it for, so I have to go to Staples this week and buy something there.
I had a list of 11 things to look for and maybe buy. I couldn't find 1/2 of them.
I looked for those Catnip Bubbles that everyone is raving about. It seems that we don't have those in Canada
I bought 2 catnip scratch pads, but my cats couldn't care less about them. Abby is terrified to even go near it!
