Walmart workers are threatening to strike on Black Friday and we at Wonkette couldn't be happier because we are elitist liberals who do not shop at Walmart.
I went there when visiting a friend in the hellish burbs, to get some beer the other week, and didn't make it out. It was like a prison yard in there! Noisy, disorganized, the floors are prectically bare concrete. There were literally a half dozen people on scooters, people arguing, babies screaming. I was in line at checkout and somebody was arguing loudly with the cashier over a price check. After 30 seconds in line, I just put the beer down and ran the fuck out of there before I had a seizure. Terrible life decision to go there in the first place.
Ah yes ... think of the kiddies. Because Mall-Wart cultivates such a <a href="http:\/\/www.peopleofwalmart.com\/56350\/riding-brokeback\/" target="_blank">conservative, traditional, family-friendly atmosphere.</a>
No Mall-Wart in NYC -- but not for lack of trying on their part.
If you&#039;ve ever seen all the small shops on a typical NYC street, you know that one megastore would trash every neighborhood within a 40-block radius. The attitude here is &quot;fuck, no!&quot;
All I want from any retailer is for fackin&#039; Shaw&#039;s to take me off of their email list! I visited goddamn Maine/New Hampshire about 6 years ago, shopped there 3 times, never gave them my email, and yet I still get their weekly specials every motherfuckin&#039;Thursday. All attempts to unsub have failed, and they just keep sending me shit. Any Wonkers from Maine want to picket over that shit, I will buy you a Bob Marley (comedian) CD! FYI, I live in Georgia-stan, so their lobster tail specials and whatnot are a really long drive to save $10.
I thought it was borrowed from the use of the term in the thuggishly unionized construction trades, because day off for almost everybody (except the poor retail workers).
<a href="http:\/\/www.abc.virginia.gov\/newsrel\/press20121113.html" target="_blank">Good news, Virginia wonketteers!</a> State liquor stores are opening early on Black Friday, so we can get good and ready for the bloodsport over at Wal-Mart.
One of the best things about the Holiday Gifting Season is the breathless, nearly-hourly reporting on how full the mall parking lots are, how late the stores are open, how this years&#039; sales compare with last year, what insane hour consumers arose to get in line, etc. It&#039;s almost as if the &quot;reporters&quot; who prepare these stories are just re-writing emails they get from PR people.

I don&#039;t know about the music, but boy, you should see the signs on the walls -- if you&#039;re wearing the right sunglasses.
The family has more wealth than 100,000,000 Americans -- <i>combined.</i>
But God forbid they pay a living wage to anybody not in the lofty ranks of &quot;management.&quot;

Same here. It was a cheap shot I couldn&#39;t resist.
It&#039;s a misanthrope.

I like children, but I couldn&#039;t eat a whole one.
Is that before or after the commandment to go shopping for cheap plastic objects as soon as dinner is over?
Well, you gotta get a little sparring in to prep you for the big fight....
It was &quot;or&quot;, not &quot;and&quot;.
Ah, so after the Resurrection he can tell us where Jimmy Hoffa&#039;s at?

But that would be unethical.
