New sign at Walmart

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm typically a Target shopper but shopped at Walmart one time. Bought what I thought was a really great, thin, dress shirt for the hot Summer months (made in Vietnam). Wore it once. Washed it once. It disintegrated. Took it back and got grief for bringing it back later than expected. It's more or less a dump.

Regarding vaping in a business, I've had luck in so doing but I notched it down a bit to say 55W and held in the vapor until it was absorbed. No problems and the restaurant owner said it was OK. Just use common sense.

    I disagree, even though I vape and would benefit from being able to do it wherever. Businesses are private property, and as such, the owners have the right to say no if they so choose. Just like I'd have the right to say no if someone came onto my private property and tried to tell me how things are going to be run. F that.

    The sword cuts both ways, and too many people nowadays already have an over-inflated sense of entitlement. People aren't "owed" the right to vape in places that don't belong to them. "House rules" and Walmart ain't your house.

    Not surprised. Signs like this are popping up everywhere.

    I blame cloud chasers. Why? A proper stealth vape with no visible output tends to not make people care. Obnoxious clouds do alarm and offend others.


    I have never vaped in any store and i have never seen anybody vape in any store . I'm sorry but if people are blowing clouds in store's other than an e cig specific store your an idiot, period .

    Unless the handcuffed kid is handicapped in some way, that is just too humiliating for a kid of that apparent age. Emotional abuse.

    Guess you disapprove of Child harnesses also?
    First, a Child that age has probably never been arrested and handcuffs have little meaning beyond Restraint.
    Second, not knowing and assuming, you may be mistaken about a need to Restrain a Trouble Child.(maybe)
    I have seen small children rake product from shelves. Rip boxes open and start eating contents. Throw items across the Isles.
    There may be reason we do not understand. :cool:

    Child restraints have been in use since children were invented. I remember wearing
    a harness as a child. 60 years ago I would say they were not a popular
    parenting tool they were not condemned by the general public. Back then children
    were expected too and did behave in public. Today's popular notions on what is or
    is not humiliating to children are in response largely to the teachings of Dr. Spock
    and other new age thinkers.

    Man, that's a safety issue as well as cruel and unusual punishment.. Somebuddy yells "Fire!" that kid's arm
    gets torn out of it's socket by giant mom with the elephant legs.

    In Florida she would be arrested for child abuse.

    I totally agree with harnesses. I used one. That handcuff is too restrictive. Again, the child may have serious behavioral or cognitive problems. Even then a harness would be better, unless she has serious financial problems and the toy handcuff was cheaper.

    They were around when I was a kid. My mom didn't believe in them. She believed in "Either behave yourself when we're in the store, or you will get the belt when we get home."

    Highly visible clouds - especially in closed or walled in spaces - make people aware of something :

    That what you're inhaling has been exhaled by someone or something else many times over. And a fair share of didn't come out of their mouths either :D .

    Walking at a leisurely pace, average air intake for an adult is 20 liters - per minute. So half an hour shopping makes 600 liters, or about 158 gallons for the non-metric crowd.

    Blowing homungous clouds that take a bit longer to dissipate shoves that fact down people's throat ( literally ) ...

    As it's been said : their place , their rules.

    I can forego vaping if what they offer is attractive enough to do so. I can also go elsewhere.
    Cuts both ways:

    Their place, their rules.
    My money, my choice.

    I don't like shopping in general; much less WalMart. I avoid it if at all possible, especially if I can get Mrs Rule to go for me. But when and if I have no choice, I'm in and out. I go as quickly as I can to whatever I'm there for, and then to the checkout. I've never understood people who go to WalMart and wander around. Mrs Rule will do that; but I just don't get it.
    I see your Man Card is in good working condition.
    :toast:

    I like how Home Depot has people that work there.
    And how you can ask them where something is as you walk in.

    That cuts the wandering down to almost nothing.
    And then straight to self-checkout and I'm gone almost before I got there!
