Every time I go to Walmart

something stupid happens. I usually try to avoid Walmart at all costs for this reason, but today I decided to take my chances to see if they carry air conditioners (they do, $96.00 is the cheapest FYI.) While I was in there I thought I would be efficient and pick up some other stuff I needed. I got some milk, ice cream, malted milk balls (I was craving a milk shake,) and some envelopes. The ice cream was easy, it is in the front of the store in the freezer. The milk is in the back of the food section so that is a bit of a walk. Then, the geniuses who designed Walmart decided to put the candy on the opposite side of the store right next to cosmetics (makes sense, right?) So I walk through the entire store gathering what I need and then I try to get into a checkout line. There are two lanes open out of the 30ish lanes they have and in each lane are 20ish people and half of them have carts full of stuff.  So I stand there for about 5 minutes waiting to see which line is moving faster. Neither one move an inch! So I decided to be nice and I put back my ice cream and my milk, then I left my basket in the middle of the isle in clear view of the security camera because I didn't feel like walking to cosmetics to put away my milk balls and envelopes. Then I walked right out the door, got in my car, drove across the road to K-mart and was in and out of there in less than 3 minutes. Sure, my ice cream was $5.99 rather than $3.29 but if that is the cost it takes to remain sane, I don't mind. Sorry about that one run-on sentence.
