So there I found myself, maybe thirty minutes ago....Okay maybe not exactly thirty minutes ago.
I had to write and then edit this diary immediately as I got home, and that included requisite break time, so the timeline might seem off right now...hey guy has to have some modicum of facilities right? Anyway, regardless I found myself standing in line at a big box store tonight; okay it was Walmart...Ok, ok I know right already, please flog me later and just keep reading ok?
So I found myself standing in line at Walmart at 12:00am with an item along with around forty other people. There were only two lanes open, so as you can imagine the line was pretty long. The crowd was pretty standard as most middle of the night retail purveyors. That said, I am not unfamiliar with Walmart in the middle of the night so let me give a quick rundown. So you find your typical Walmart midnight customers what with a parent picking up a last minute OTC medication, the late night drunk getting that last fifth for the night, the young couple picking up groceries for the next day, and the stray person who just needed a battery for their car. Indeed Walmart at midnight is a wonderful snapshot into the heart of America.
So there I sat in line, and being the person I am...why not strike up conversation to pass the time? It should beat staring wasting time glaring into the soullessness of technology that is my smart phone right?
Join me after the *** for my experience and perhaps a chance I lit a fire into someone tonight....or morning depending on your place of residence.
