Another Day At Wally World

Wal-Mart has removed its door greeters,
Replacing them with purchase eyes
Grabbing receipts at exits
Waving them like white flags
Yes, they paid! They paid! 
You may pass; thanks!
Do the dance,
Pappy,
lol!

How true Sandra. Splendid write. What a pain. They don't want us to rip them off like they seem to be ripping us off as of late. Love, Carol

So very well written and I suppose a sign of the times. Nothing more embarrassing than when the sensors at the door goes off because the cashier didn't deactivate the merchandise properly. Well done. Regards Heidie

Saw the play "Walmartopia" not long ago. Cavernous shopping centers! Interesting work! Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

How true, Alexandra! It always seems humiliating to be asked to show your receipt on the way out of WalMart. We still have door greeters here, but their evil counterparts are waiting in the wings. Great Nonet! Love, Carolyn

Love the humor in this Nonet. It sounds like the Wal-Mart here at Christmas when they really check people at the exits. Sara
