Windchimes (Wal-Mart Rant #2)

I had to return something at Wal-Mart and while I was at it I decided to get my sister in law some wind chimes for her birthday. (Hopefully she doesn't read this, but at this point, I don't think anyone does!) So I went back to lawn and garden to look for them, didn't see them of course, so asked an employee who immediately said they would be there but that I should ask one of the employees in lawn and garden. I asked a guy who asked the cashier who said they didn't have any. DON'T HAVE ANY?!?! Wind chimes are a pretty basic-type item I would think Wal-Mart would have, especially since they're in season. Needless to say, after my "Well that's kind of stupid" remark, I promptly left the store without getting the milk I was also planning to buy.

So, will all of my efforts cause Wal-Mart to not be the megastore monopoly it has become? No. But am I making a statement by not supporting their outrageous business practices? Yes.
