I was in Wal-mart this afternoon standing in a checkout line about 3 lanes down from the entrance/exit doors, about 1/2 way in a daze from a long day at work. What first caught my attention was a womans voice announcing, Sir .... SIR ....

I looked toward the front doors and there was a little old door greeter lady about 80 years old in hot pursuit, calling out to two scumbags who had just walked in the store. They were ignoring her calling out to them until she caught up to them, where they both stopped and turn to face her. I could tell they were beginning to argue with her.

These two dirtbags were wearing nothing but cut off jean shorts and flip flops, long scraggly hair, no shirts and covered in tattoos. She was telling them that the policy required them to wear shirts and they would need to leave until they got them. The whole argument lasted less than 20 seconds.

I dont know if these door greeters wear a panic alarm or what, but within that 20 second argument, there were 5 very big, store security guys I assume, that just materialized basically out of thin air. They had to physically grab one of the guys by the arms and escorted both outside somewhere. Did not see what happened after they left the store with them.

Apparently these guys are on top of things and sure bailed this little old lady out and took care of the problem in just seconds.


If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.

Common decency should tell them that is no way to go out in public.

Common decency, like common sense, isn't really quite as common as we might wish.

A cowboy told me once "I think common sense and common decency is dun gittin bred outta folks"


Lord, grant me the senility to not recognize the people I don't like, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference

Treat yourself to a trip to Hawaii, where many of the locals wear no other type of footgear 365 days a year.

Bummer, they lost a sale. Those fine gentleman were probably going in to buy some nice tee shirts...NOT.. Or, they could have been going in to purchase a sewer drain hose for thier RV so it would reach the storm drain in the parking lot..


Don't like the view?? Then change it and Go Camping

No need to go that far...it's the same here in Texas.

They're cheap and on the right feet, I think they're cute.
