just when I thought I could relax...

...Walmart goes and rearranges everything.

The other day, I went to Walmart. Hand trucks were being pushed around, fork lifts were cutting people off, it was a mess. At least three ladies shared my look of bewilderment as I searched, aisle by aisle, dodging fork lift after fork lift, for glue. What should have been a ten minute endeavor turned into an hour-long wild goose chase. Why the heck did Walmart feel the need to rearrange the ENTIRE store? One of my co-workers told me the manager told her that it was too plain the way it was. It's Walmart, for crying out loud, it doesn't need to be fancy. I think they just did it to keep people there longer, thus making more money. If customers have to search aimlessly for hours, they would be more likely to buy more things. It's smart, but at the same time freaking obnoxious to those of us who like to spend as little time shopping as possible.

Sure, change is good, but not when everything is perfectly fine just the way it is.
