WHY Do the Big Stores LET Them Steal?

Nobody Wonders

Hi…did everyone have a great holiday? Right now I’m listening to rockets going off all around my windows. Leftovers. Fun. Booms. The 4th is not over.

Over the holiday I had an encounter at Wal-Mart, that was a first for me.

I was in the makeup section at Wal-Mart and bought a lipstick. The black lady at the counter started talking to my husband and I…and I thought to myself…mmmm…this is strange, because we both looked like we were the most patriotic silly people within 50 miles. White people like me, make sure when we go into a black store, with mostly black workers, that you don’t wear anything that makes you look like a “white trash hunter/fisherman/NRA racist/” threat.

Frankly…this year, this day…I didn’t care. Screw it, I thought. This is my favorite holiday and just try to trash me. Yeah. Go ahead.

I had an American eagle shirt, with fireworks going off, front AND back. My husband looked like Al Bundy going fishing. Nevertheless, this black worker lady started telling us about all the stealing being done in the makeup department. She talked to us with no racial attitude at all. We were talked to like we were people.

That…is rare.

She said that she worked that department and couldn’t believe the stealing going on. One woman would walk in, open up the moisterizers, (which by the way are VERY expensive) Then go to the makeup, put that on, and then glue on nails, and by the time she got to the register she looked like a different woman.

Those fake eyelashes that are so popular, she put those on too, even opening the glue.

The woman was powerless to do anything. When she confronted this one woman, the lady lied and said she was just trying on stuff.

We talked about how people would steal the big screen TVs. Just walk out the garden area and then throw the TVs in the getaway car. Now, an employee has to stand at that door.

We talked about how the store owners didn’t care at all. She couldn’t believe they were all getting away with it.

The news doesn’t talk about it much, but so many stores all over the country are being closed down by the fact that if you steal now, they do nothing. They are allowed to do nothing. Ordered to let it happen.

“I don’t get it.” I said. “Why are the owners and companies allowing this to happen?” The stores end up closing, and so you have to order online. Is that the plan? They want everything to go online and the stores to close?

Is this all about China? Walgreens are closing thousands of stores now all over the country. And even though no one talks about it, you can only stay open for so long with the economy the way it is.

When we got ready to leave the lady said she was going to start a podcast, and quit her job.

“Don’t tell my boss.” she said, her eyes wide open.

So, here’s the good news. Lots of blacks have good jobs now, and THEY don’t like the blacks stealing, because they know what will happen sooner or later: They will lose THEIR jobs.

And already, I’ve seen the blacks being replaced with illegal workers who don’t even speak English.

So tell me…anyone? Why are they letting this happen? The big CEO’s?

Black Friday Blues

Nobody Wonders…

Why ANYONE in their right mind would go shopping on Black Friday at Wal-Mart?black-friday-four

And yet, millions put down their forks and scarf down mom’s pumpkin pie early in the morning just so that they can be first in line when the Black Friday Sales start.

My husband and I went into Wal-Mart around 11p.m today. It was pretty empty. But somebody had been working hard overnight to stock all the sale items onto the aisles. Sales that…were certainly not worth standing in line for an hour to buy. But, AMAZINLY people will stand in line for TVs, or a toy that they know their kid want for Christmas.

If they save $50 dollars they feel like they’ve REALLY done something great. Really, just pay the $50 and go at a less crowded time.

I don’t understand it.

For instance: There was Tupperware set, boxes and boxes of them on sale. It usually sold for $19.00 and was on sale for $7.99. REALLY? Who doesn’t have Tupperware already? And then I think: more than I might know.

I often ask myself, if Wal-Mart was selling one of those $300 dollar mixers for $100.00 would I too stand in line for it?

Would I risk getting a disease from South America, or bruises from a kicked shin? Would I stand in line for hours just to get to the kitchen aisle and see they were all sold out?black-friday-one

My mixer bit the dust years ago. I’ve been using a hand mixer, which works just fine. The other day, I saw a mixer with a bowl for $24.00. Sure, you have to turn the bowl yourself, it’s certainly not for someone who spends hours every day cooking, but that’s not me. I bought it and couldn’t be happier.

Think about it: You rarely have to mix anything more than 5 minutes. How hard it that?

When my hand breaks and I can’t turn the bowl any longer, there’s always TV dinners.black-friday-three

And you know what? Even if I DID cook every day, I really think those mixers are way overpriced. China truly is ripping us off.

Another pet peeve of mine is the new America sales scam:

Like—SALE! 50% off! Was $250.00, now only $150.00!

Which is the price it normally is, if you shop at the store and know. And they do this with clothes, appliances, well, just about everything.

I call it the, “You think you are saving money, but you’re NOT!” scam.

Are any of the companies reprimanded for false advertising? No.

Or how about the “Buy one get one half off!” (Or free as the Clintons used to say.)

(In Clinton’s case, we will be paying for them, the rest of our lives.)

Trust me, you are paying for both.

But people fall for these scams. Woman especially LOVE to brag how they got something, ANYTHING, on sale. As if, that makes them special. As IF, that makes them smart.

As if. black-friday-two

Still, the economy is SO bad, inflation and the price of food SO high, that the luxuries that you can’t afford go on sale just one day a year…you’d better be there.

For some people, that truly is the norm. And to have these sales one day a week, is…close to cruel. People go wild. They get all excited, like they are drunk with anticipation. It’s social engineering at it’s finest. They make you WANT it. DESIRE IT.

And while I’m ranting about people standing in line to get bargains, I actually am guilty of that:

Today my family stood in line for over an hour to eat Thanksgiving Dinner at Cracker Barrel. It was great, reasonably priced, and best yet: no dishes. What’s great about Cracker Barrel, they have a store that you can amuse yourself with while you’re waiting.

There’s nothing like a home-cooked Thanksgiving turkey dinner, don’t get me wrong. But, what’s most important is to spend time with those you love.

And it seems, in some cases: SHOP with them too.

Now, excuse me while I get ready for my Black Friday.

I’m raking leaves.

Ready, Set…Destruct!

Nobody Wins

Here in America, the masses of women are taught ONE thing…and it’s the most important thing in the world: Do NOT let that woman in front of you get the last cell phone. Bit them if you have to. Draw a gun. Spit. Call them “bitch” then grab that cell phone out of their hands, kick them, then run.

Black Friday is the only day of the year, when we see the toughness of our ancestors.  If only they could see us now…how proud they would be!

Nobody likes to imagine as I watch this scene, placing a big piece of hot dog in front of a pile of killer ants–it’s about the same reaction. There IS no thought here. This is proof, that humanity did NOT evolve. Underneath the nylon jackets, is a race of myopic sharks dressed as people…who want cell phones, and claim to be women worthy of doing a man’s job.

Now, if only we could get this bunch to be as furious about politicians taking away their liberties.

You think you’re going to get my right to speak freely about Muslims!! Take THAT you dirty politicain…come her. Let me hit you with my purse! (thump)

Watch and learn…NEXT year, they will evolve because NEXT year they will be fighting over a jar of peanut butter. And the ones who stay at home on Black Friday will kick themselves for not going out every year and getting the much-needed practice, because THESE people will survive.

All those ‘sensible’ people staying home, won’t have a chance, and so dear readers, if you are like me, and wouldn’t be caught even near a mall on Black Friday: stock up on food now.

You will NOT have a chance against these professional shoppers. Better yet, take up hawking. Train a hawk, to fly right in and grab.
