Dear Customers around the Robinson Town Mall

[cornerofmadness]

You all suck.

Old lady in Wal mart who tried to slam your buggy ahead of mine saying I'M IN LINE NEXT and when I said didn't you see me there, you reply 'no,' go to hell. I'm 5'9" tall in a bright red coat. Fine, take my spot, the next aisle over went twice as fast, haha


Bitch in the SUV in the Wal Mart cross walk. You don't get to yell at me. It's a crosswalk with STOP signs everywhere. Guess who had the right of way. Me, walking. Shove your SUV up your ass.

To the couple in the Barnes & Noble, if you have to act like idiots get the hell out of line and don't glare at us when we call you on it. We don't give a shit who spends more on whose parents, who makes more household money and no on needs to hear you have this much drama over buying a fucking monopoly game.

To the bitchy server in Star Bucks, you're so lucky I didn't call the manager on you. You slapped that spoon so hard back into the dirty water bucket that it splashed me over the counter and went into my coffee so yes, you get to remake it because I'm not drinking a 4$ drink with god damn dish water in it.

Barnes & Nobles, why is your manga selection down to 2 shelves and your new age/eastern religion section equally small yet you have a Twilight section bigger than both of those combined. This is why I shop Borders

Giant Eagle workers, I pity you. New Years Eve + massive snowstorm meant every human in the world was in you at one time.

ETA - Screw you too Panera bread. The bagels you boxed up so nicely for me were BURNT.

Also Dad you need to be more specific when you send me for things. You said get wild bird seed. I saw it and got you two bags. don't whine, you now have 80 pounds of seed. Be happy I lugged it around

Wow, that does not sound like you had a pleasant shopping experience. I do second you on the grocery store chaos. I stopped in at Kroger on the way home and every single person in Wheeling was there. Thankfully, no one seemed overly crabby including me or my checker. :-)

Have a Happy New Year's celebration. And I hope 2010 is much, much better than 2009 has been for you.

Malls are particularly nightmarish around this time of year. When we were heading up to my parents on the 27th, we passed the motorway exit for Bluewater, the big mall in Kent, and realised the traffic jam we'd been stuck in was basically all people trying to take that exit and get to Bluewater for the post-Christmas sale. *shudders* My sisters-in-law and mother-in-law were actually planning to go along that day or the next for fun, too.

Oh and wtf Twilight (in general)? I recently discovered that it's now impossible to google any phrase with the word twilight in it because you just get Twilight stuff. They should have a special Boolean search indicator that means "no sparkly vampires".

(Oh, and Border's in the UK went bust like a month ago! The US chain had sold the UK chain on a couple of years ago, so that's how it happened. They did have an awesome manga section, although as ever with manga sections it was 50% just Bleach and Naruto)

yeah mom made me go the day after christmas

Twilight, busy ruining vampires for the rest of us

Borders is tottering on bankruptcy here too leaving Barnes & Nobles which pisses me off since they don't allow ANY of the yaoi/yuri manga to be sold.I'm not even sure if they have any gay/lesbian studies left (not that I read those but censorship pisses me off)

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Ha, you should put that on a t-shirt!

That information about Barnes and Noble pisses me off too! And to think that they've run a lot of little independent gay and women's bookstores out of business by being a massive megachain.

i know i should

I thought for a moment it was just the one here (Pittsburgh is conservative) but after checking them out in three states, I think they're pulling that 'morality' shit walmart does (then maybe they ought not to carry Twilight if that's what they're really concerned about)

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Yes, if morality's the issue, besides anything else they should think of the millions of young minds Twilight is spoiling for vampire stuff that isn't rubbish. It makes me feel like standing outside the store, evangelist style, handing out care packages containing DVDs of Nosferatu and Buffy and cheaply-printed copies of Stoker. I could wear one of your t-shirts while I'm doing it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha I'd help you

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

Ugh - Yeah, the worst thing about shopping is all the damn people.

(P.S. what's 'giant eagles'?)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

grocery chain

people suck

[raceulfson.livejournal.com]

I have always maintained that what a person truly needs to go shopping this time of year is a cattle prod.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh no kidding. That would be so gratifying
