Reply #65: I'll go in one [View All]

But I'll just walk around. I won't buy anything. It's fun to listen to what people say. Just one of those being inside the mouse maze opportunities, except not being the mouse.

If they're talking in a low voice, you don't want to listen in. But, if there's a young kid around, and he or she is yelling to their parents, it's hilarious.

One time, one young kid was yelling, "I don't have any toys!", as they were walking around. I'm sure most kids do that in most stores, but you know that whatever it is that pulsates in the middle of Wal-Mart was salivating at the thought of getting its claws into that kid's mind. And at the same time, they had "Jurassic Park" on one of their TV's, and it was at the part with the T-Rex making its dinosaur scream. If you can imagine that, it was the perfect moment.

But then you walk out of the store with nothing, and wonder when the Wal-Mart police will be knocking at your door the next day saying, "Sir, you did not purchase any merchandise at Wal-Mart yesterday. We have, on our records, that you were on our property, in our store. No, sir, don't worry about how we have that information. Just be aware that we do. And here is your penalty ticket, which you will use within 24 hours, to buy at least 10 items that you see on our shelves. I hope this doesn't happen again."

Or something like that.
