OMG! Wal-Mart is bringing back (shudder) LAYAWAYS!!! 2
Oh, the HORROR of it all! The images of layaway at Wal-Mart just gives me the heebie-jeebies! I have a visual image in my mind of all the people from the People of Wal-Mart site standing in line wearing clothing that looks like they were the rejects from previous eras, butt-crack showing, wearing panda-bear hoodies, clothing with the type of sayings that make you scratch your head and ponder, “wtf…”, parts of their bodies exposed which shouldn’t be, and so on and so on. They are all there carrying on in some strange dialect of English – or whatever their language may be – discussing how horrible their children are, how their boss “dun did ‘em wrong cuz I was just a little bit late” (what he didn’t say was “late every day”), how their utilities are going to be shut off – while standing their waiting to buy their 60-inch TV with wall mount, etc etc.
