So I generally choose not to patronize walmart for several moral reasons...but today I was in desperate need of some CD-Rs so I could
mail a file to my university and the only place anywhere near me that
sells them is Wally world. So I grudgingly got on my bike and made the 4
mile ride on some pretty dangerous roads only to find that they have no
form of bike rack whatsoever. That's typical for this area so I've
become used to just taking my bike into stores...in fact I usually use
the basket on the back as a shopping cart.

So I walk into the walmart and the most evil grandmother I've ever met
grabs my arm with her claws and says I can't bring it into the store. I
explained to here there was nowhere outside to lock it up and that I had
brought it into that particular store with no problem. She insisted
that I had to leave it in the foyer and I calmly said that I wasn't
going to leave a 600 dollar bike just sitting in the foyer and that I'd
like to speak to her manager.

So the manager comes out and says I can't bring the bike into the store,
so I explain to her that there are safe places for people who drive to
lock their cars but there is no safe place for me to lock my mode of
transportation. She says that I should have driven there I told her that
I didn't own a car and that my bike was my only form of transportation
and I couldn't risk having it stolen. She said I couldn't bring it in
because they sell bikes in the store. So I said but those bikes don't
look anything like this and this is clearly not a brand new bike, so why
is that a problem. She insisted that for the safety of the other
customers I couldn't bring it inside, so I asked her why she thought a
bike controlled by an adult was more dangerous than a shopping cart
being pushed around by someone's bratty kids. So she switched back to
the excuse that they sell bikes in the store so I couldn't bring another
bicycle in. I was starting to get really frustrated since I had ridden
all the way there seemingly for no reason, so I asked her if they also
sold shirts in the store. She said yes so I took off my jersey and said
well then I'd better not bring this in either. She got kind of flustered
and said that it was a different situation but couldn't explain why. So
I said that if they also sold shorts in the store that I'd better not
wear those in either and I took off my shorts. Same goes for the shoes
and sunglasses. Now I'm standing there in my spandex and a sports bra
and I ask here if I can leave my things behind the customer service
counter where they will be safe until I finish making my purchases and
she said that I couldn't come into the store without shoes on, to which i
responded "but I certainly can't wear shoes into the store because you
sell those here and someone might think I've stolen them." She
threatened to call security if I didn't leave so I told her that I would
never be coming back to that store again and that I was glad I hadn't
driven there since the gas to go four miles was probably more expensive
than what her underpaid employees make in an hour.

Her expression when the shirt came off was absolutely priceless...I was
pretty tempted to take off the spandex too but I wasn't sure what
constitutes indecent exposure in Virginia so I figured I'd err on the
side of caution. Still I had a decent sized crowd gathered before the
end of the discussion. Anybody else have issues with Satan's superstore?
