Walmart = owned

This is true, as the larger you get, the more benevolent your are expected to be.

A form of "giving back", and rewarding the community and your customers for making you that big.

People expect a bit of a sociological reach around.

You know whats one of the worst shopping experiences, fucking apple stores. I hate those fucking snotty little bastards. Getting them to answer a simple question is impossible.

And that... is bullshit.

They keep prices low and quality shit on their shelves... and employ people who would otherwise not be employable (in many cases)... All of a sudden that reach-around starts looking more and more like full on bukkake.

You are mistaken there. Walmart has taught America to accept mediocrity. When you can't find a store that specializes in anything, you "accept" whats on the shelf at Walmart.

The biggest mistake Apple ever made was to refer to them as "geniuses" at the fucking "genius bar".

That's what you wanna do, right? Take an arrogant teenager fucking geek, and tell the little fucking bastard he's a genius.

Brilliant.

Can't see how that might be an issue.

Idiots.

It's funny... you don't see a whole bunch of hatred towards places like Aldi and shit... I mean, they are ever WORSE as far as employment conditions and how much of a pain in the ass it is to get in and out, but that shit doesn't matter because they aren't 1/10 the size of WalMart.

I hate Aldi too. Eff Aldi.

They are not all geniuses. I actually don't mind them so much. The geniuses are trained differently and know a shit ton about the computer. It's hard to get access to them and they are not in the store at all hours. They are all full time employees with a lot of time at an apple store. The normal employees are the ones I hate.

They always ask at the checkout if I've found everything I wanted. I tell them no, you freaking ran everyone else out of business, and if I want anything of quality, I'll find it on the internet.
