Dear Wallies (code for a store that I loathe):

Our relationship was tense enough before, back when you never had anything I needed any time I needed something specific. I gave you chance after chance to redeem yourself, and still you never had the exacto knife, never a set of lightweight one-piece zip up jammas for my baby, never a simple tiered skirt, or the white hankies I needed for Sunday...

But this time you've gone too far.

This time you never even showed your face. All I needed was a pair of running shoes to temporarily replace the ones I forgot at home on the back of the couch.

Where were you when I needed you? Somewhere in Orem, American Fork, Springville, Payson. No where near Sugarhouse, where the race was due to start in half an hour.

I had no expectations for the Shopko or Big5 to be open at 7am, but you...

you...

You should have been there for me. You, with your 24 hour "availability."



I'm not sure we can be friends any more.

I totally hate walmart! I only go there once a month for dog food because its cheapest there and with a puppy with food allergies you need to watch your pennies!

I think it's because Sugarhouse is too posh for Walmart.

They need to get over themselves.

I told you I have a love/hate relationship with them but I liked your explanation better and now I can't even remember it! Sheesh....
