[Magdalen] I hate Wal-Mart

[Joseph Cirou]

I went to Walmart recently out of convenience and with guilt, I went to the
self checkout. The lines there were just as bad as the ones with checkout
clerks. So I just stayed and waited and the check out person was pleasant.

I take a lot of surveys and I usually give Walmart very low marks on
everything except being conveniently located.
