Me with my cousin, brother and neighbor scaring people with a cheap mask from party city, we are going to try this again in the future with a better mask. We stayed in walmart for about half an hour just scaring people. Once we left we saw two cop cars parked in front of the store. I'm pretty sure they were for us. So we left just in time! :D
www.peopleofwalmart.com As with everything big in the end they all fall. WalMarts time is coming!!!! I love how they raise the price on a item for a day or a week and then drop it back to the Original price and mark it as you saving the amount they raised it to. Point in the case the WalMart brand 1G water jugs have always been 50 cents then they raised them to 88 cents for a week and then marked them back to 50 and put you saved 38 cents. I walked into Walmart to make a quick return years ago. As I walked through the door, I notice the typical female Walcreature (badly permed mullet, NASCAR t-shirt that was ever so cleverly turned into a dingy, bra-showing NASCAR tank top) standing by a Redbox. This lady looked about 12 kinds of pissed off. I headed on down to customer service and I'm there for a total of about 15 minutes. I start to round the corner to the exit and there is crazy NASCAR lady still standing by the Redbox. A Walmart employee came over and asked crazy-pants "Can I help you?" Crazy swung around and said "Yeah, you can tell me why this thing won't take my f***in' dollar! It's a brand new one too and I've tried stickin' in it every hole in the GD machine!" The employee and I both had to take a 3-5 second, OMG is this bitch serious, brain stun. So crazy said, "Well? Whichin' is it? Whichin' is the dollar hole?" I busted out laughing but I did try to get out the door as quickly as I possibly could. As I was leaving, I heard the employee tell her it only takes ...
