ISSUE NUMBER 1. I have issues with Walmart. I had to make an exchange and a return and was treated as if I wasn't even there. They wouldn't look at me or acknowledge me while I explained my problem. I know they hear all sorts of crap and deal with jerks all day, but give me a freakin' break! I was polite and kind. Was that necessary? One of the items I was returning kept coming up "UNKNOWN ITEM" Even though I had a packing slip with the item listed I had to wait for 15 minutes for them to call 1 800 Walmart. THEN when I asked two different employees where an item was BOTH of them told me they didn't know and went back to their tasks. No one bothered to find out for me or even give me a general direction to look. RRRRRR! I'm not done! When I went to the check out the cashier spent the whole time talking to the cashier behind me. "Blah blah blah she was up and walking soon after she gave birth blah blah blah" When I returned to customer service (that's a joke) I had to wait in line AGAIN for them to give me my money! If I hadn't spent half the morning in there I would have complained to one of the many managers I saw standing around chit chatting.
ISSUE NUMBER 2. Am I the only one that thinks that if an athlete leaves their home country to train in different country they should lose the right to compete for their home country? Last night there was an ice skater from Turkey that left the country to train in Canada. She lived there for 8 years. Olympic time rolls around and what country does she march in with? Turkey. She left Turkey! She should have competed for Canada! You know the place she sleeps at night. The place where she hangs her skates after a long days practice. Don't get me wrong, there was a great back story with this girl, very moving. She's probably a great kid, a kid that's living in CANADA! Not Turkey! I don't know, maybe it's just me.

Issue 1 - We used to live in Toronto and we would encounter your kind of "customer service" all the time. Now that we live in a small town out in the boonies, it's amazing how nice & helpful everyone is.
Issue 2 - Everyone should compete for Canada :)
Gabby- Yes, yes she does. Case in point, CCB!
#1 I hates the Wal-Martsees. I hates it to pieces!
#2 I also think if you are a professional (NBA, NHL) you shouldn't be allowed to compete either.
Issue 1: Walmart is the anti-Christ.
Issue 2: I agree. If your home country is so wonderful, why did you leave there? Stupid. Just like all the hockey players - if you're playing in the NHL obviously you're living in the US or Canada, so play for the US or Canada! Not Finland or Russia! If you want to play for them, stay there! (But I do think they shouldn't be allowed to participate. I thought Olympic athletes weren't professional? Pfft.)
I hate hate hate shopping at Walmart!!! But I feel like I have too since it's so freankin close!
1. I, like most of these other bloggers, tend to hate going to WalMarts. Just think...with $365 Million, you could afford to pay people to be nice to you. And to do things for you. And for sexual favors....oh wait, nevermind.
2. I actually disagree with this. I think that certain areas of the world just don't have the terrain/resources to let one train for such an event. I've lived in Arizona for nearly 5 years, but I still consider Nebraska my home...it's kind of the same thing. Almost.

I have never had problems like that with Wal-Mart. Most of the time the employees are friendly to me. I don't like it when the cashiers talk to another people while they are waiting on me. It is just plain rude.
Yesterday afternoon, we watched the movie "Cool Runnings" about the Jamican Bobsled team. They don't have ice or snow in their country and had to spend a small amount of time practice on ice. I think it would be nice if the athletes practiced in their own country but it doesn't bother me that much.
Walmart sucks...last time I shopped there...I bought a digital camera...got it home only to find out that the box had been opened...I brought it back & dealt with the rudeness...I only shop there if it's the cheapest show in town.
Yuck! I hate WalMart and the jerks that work there. My thing is hey, if you don't want a job then why have one?
I agree with the Olympic thing too, but the olympics are boring too so who cares...
