The Walmart saga continues...

Tweet

As I have said before, we lost our nearest grocery store due to inflation and I think, poor management. At any rate, unless I go into the city (which thankfully I do, frequently) if we need something I didn't plan on, Walmart is the only option. There are several surrounding small towns and villages close by that also rely on that Walmart, so it is a very busy place. Today I had to go there to get a prescription that CVS couldn't seem to get. I dreaded going but I kicked myself in the tail and off I went. I really wished I hadn't! It was in the 40's today, with a cold wind. There were 5 repair trucks lined up in front of Walmart, from Lanz, which is an HVAC company here (pricey, too) that does excellent repair work on heating and air conditioning. Anyway, I had to get the medicine so I parked and went inside. It was cold enough to hang meat in there! You could literally see your breath!! People were racing around, all moaning about how cold it was in there--come to find out, the AC was stuck in the ON position and it wouldn't turn off somehow, so they called out the big guns to fix it. Luckily, I had on a fleece shirt, jeans, and a fuzzy hoodie. One fellow next to me in the pharmacy looked at me and grinned and said, ''don't look at my legs, I know I am turning blue!'' he had on shorts. He said he hadn't realized how cold it was and he was freezing! That particular Walmart is the closest of four local Walmart stores. And of course, it's the one that always has strange, weird problems. I was SO glad to go home and ran the car heater on high on the way home. Brrrrr!
