[Vision2020] One more WalMart thing . . .

[Janesta Carcich]

Pat,

*slow smile*

I put a phony name on my card, and always pay cash for
everything. Bills, everything. If I don't have cash, I
don't need it. 

Wal-Mart has by far, the worst customer service in
town. Try asking someone working there, other than
management, where something is, and they say "I don't
know" and turn around and walk away. If I ever did
that working at Drug Fair way back when, Shirley would
have had my hide and fired me!
