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. But do not worry, Real Americans, you will not lose your Twinkies AND your big box retailer all in one week, because Walmart is NOT GOING TO TAKE IT.
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.
