Why I hate Wal-Mart & this town!

Ugh! Tomorrow Ryan and I are taking David and Henry to the Zoo Lights in Portland (yay!) and my mom is going to watch the baby. I am still nursing Nolan (another yay!) but I don't ever pump and since we are going to be gone for a chunk of time tomorrow night I thought it would be best to pick up some ready made formula just in case. It's after nine, the kids are in bed and I head to Wal-Mart to buy a bottle. I also thought about picking up some bottle liners since that is a cost effective way of going BPA free. The only packages they have are of 100 liners, there is no way I would need that many so I don't want to waste my money. I decided just to get the formula. I head up to the check out and there are only two open but of course there are about 10 Wal-Mart employees standing around doing NOTHING. I get in one of the lines and there is a problem with something not ringing up right, two cashiers are trying to figure it out, finally I said forget it and took the formula to customer service and told the lady I wasn't waiting in line for 10 minutes to buy one thing and headed out the door!! What the heck Wal-Mart? You're going to pay all of these employees to be on the clock just to chit chat? So you ask... why do you hate the town Laura? Well because I live in grand 'ol Dallas that only has one store like Wal-Mart unless I want to go to Rite-Aid and pay double for something that is twice as old. So I ran to Safeway, got the formula for $1.78 less, still no liners but my stress level was significantly decreased!
