These short vignettes will have you shaking your head, rolling your eyes, and wondering how some people manage to survive their own stupidity. The stories are silly, shocking, funny, and sometimes just plain nuts and will have you wondering if WalMart is part of a bizarro universe rather than a place firmly rooted in our own world.It makes me glad that I don't shop at WalMart.While the stories are amusing and funny, the editing is poorly done. There are multiple grammar, spelling, and other editing errors and is a text book example of why you cannot depend on a spelling checker to substitute for proper proof reading and copy editing. There are too many cases of "then" for "than" and other elementary usage errors, but the blue ribbon winner of mistakes is the use of the word "turrets" when, by context, it is obvious the author means "Tourette's." The book is painfully in need of a re-edit.Recommended for anyone wanting to feel smarter than the people who inhabit your local WalMart.
