Walmart only carries things that will sell quickly. They don't want things on the shelves that are going to sit for very long.

As for the pie plate from Target, how many of the younger generation make pies anymore? It's too easy to buy a frozen one and bake it. There are even some who can barely cook and eat out all the time. It's really sad. Of course with the economy the way it is they may be learning how to cook soon.

Hmmmmm, I don't know why you wouldn't be able to find wooden clothespins.

As for the checkout girls, I think that there are problems everywhere with them. I really think that someone could make a good living by going around and doing a small seminar about working. How to dress, how to greet customers, not to chew gum, just good work ethics. I get so fustrated at how customers are treated.

We have a little Alco store (it's kinda' like a very small Wal-mart) and my daughter, Amy, returned some shoes that she had bought her daughter because they didn't last very long and she had bought an expensive pair and she had her receipt. Well, our store has been having shoplifting problems, enough that they're about to close (mostly employees and teens). The girl at the returns counter called the manager up to handle the transaction. My daughter got chewed out and then the manager turned and chewed out my granddaughter. When they left the store they both were crying and all because of returning a pair of shoes. My son-in-law then went in and he came home with a number to call the company because he had gotten into it with her too. We have a new manager now!!!
