Thank you Walmart

It occurred to me last night.

Walmart...yep, Walmart....you know, that place where you go to buy something cheap and cheesy for a reasonable price. Everybody (well maybe not "everybody", but a lot of people around these parts really hate the store. When they try to open a new one at the base of a Mountain or in some national park amongst the Elk or next to a river where there are endangered fish, people get up in arms and start protesting and then the politicians get involved and the Walmart store is eventually built anyway. That place. You know the one I'm talking about? (spare question mark used here)

So, it occurred to me last night. Walmart is actually doing us a really big favor. It's true.

Not that they provide us was quality merchandise at a reasonable price. No not that....

What they are doing is creating giant storage bins for all the shit in the world. Every Walmart that goes up gets filled with the worlds cheap crap. The more that go up, the more cheap crap that finds it's way to the giant storage bin, easily identified, consolidated and properly inventoried.

Every Walmart that goes up makes it less likely that I'll find cheap shit somewhere else. They are hoarding it.

Thank you Walmart! Keep a fresh coat of paint on the walls will ya?

I used to be an Asda man until the Walmart takeover. One of the first things the new regime did was dispense with the salad bar. A criminal act, I say! And the stores seemed to get dirtier...the Asda green turned a shade grey. These days I'm a Sainbury's man. Their ready meals really are the business, even if they're filled to bursting with Sedan 1. Also, my local Sainsbury store has so many characters. The manager looks like a young Mick Hucknall; there's a giant male check-out person who adores dressing up to work the till (he's already stitching together his Easter outfit, so he tells me!); and the girl on the cold meat counter has got an Eng Lit degree and loves to debate the state of the British novel as she's slicing my oaksmoked turkey cold cuts. What more could the average weekly shopper ask for ?

What you fail to appreciate is that building a Walmart causes the crap manufacturers to create more. Walmart is thus not merely storing existing crap, it is causing more crap to be created. The end game of this crap system is a world full of crap creators and crap hoarders. Luckily we have the crap American consumer to buy it and store it in their homes, thus freeing up space for more crap in the Walmart and providing jobs for the crap producers in China.

At Cut Price Question Marks ? Probably not. However, I've noticed that Floors-2-Go are branching out into the car interior market.

Ahh, good point Justyn...that's where phase-2 comes to play, Walmart gets their oats.... Once we've saturated the crap business, we level all the stores and build McDonalds in their place. The whole industry will collapse, sending the entire worlds crap economy into a deep depression. Then.....phase-3
