Madhouse

Have you been to a Wal-Mart lately? It seems like the local Wal-Mart has become not only a place for great bargains on everything from honey roasted peanuts to contact lens solution, but also a complete zoo.

I went to Wal-Mart on Sunday for some basic necessities: shampoo, razors, etc. You could not turn around without bumping into someone. The line at the returns/exchanges counter was 5-10 people deep at all times, and there were at least three people rummaging at each discount/sale bin.

Some people I know love the action - hence shopping for anything in Chinatown or going to DSW. I hate shopping with so many people around. I like to take my time, compare prices, examine the quality and craftsmanship of each and every bobble-head, without the worry of being run over by shopping carts.

The worst part was that the two things I was really hoping to get were both out of stock. Who knew Clear Care and Neutrogena Hand Cream (fragrance-free) were so popular?

I didn't even know that they still made Neutrogena Hand Cream. I feel like I can never find it at the nearby Walgreens.

and why wouldn't you go to your local neighborhood JnJ dealer for JnJ goods?
