[fastdrop]

I am proud to say we are in the news again. Wal-Mart selling towels made of gold.

I remember one year someone shot a gun in the parking lot.  Always fun in West Memphis. 

[fastdrop]

Why fight over the towels when a ton of them just get walked out of the store for free?

[Ridge Rat]

That's what they were fighting over a coupla years ago. Special towels over there I guess.

[fastdrop]

Well to be fair there were only a few red ones left and a ton of blue ones.

[Uncle Ivan]

Same Wal Mart that had that shoutout a few years ago.

[Breitontime]

Memphis should annex WM.

[Breitontime]

Lol, they are talking about it on the radio in Tampa this a.m.

[fastdrop]

The towels everyday are about $2.50 they had them on sale for around $1.70.

[Lions84]

Shameful behavior.

[Uncle Ivan]

Found out today that the towel riot broke out in the Wynne WM Friday as well, but not on the scale as it was in West Memphis.

Make a fool out of yourself over cheap-made China crap.  I'm so proud of my hometown.

[True Believer]

Fastdrop started it.

[fastdrop]

easy peasy

dropped a dollar on the floor

[ricepig]

She's got the dunlap, happens to the best of us.

[Uncle Ivan]

That creature on the left is clearly a woman (one would hope) but red shirt on the right?  Male or female?

[Brian G]

Hey, that's a Nabisco display in the background.

[True Believer]

That creature on the left is clearly a woman (one would hope) but red shirt on the right?  Male or female?

I think it's  male.

[Uncle Ivan]

There needs to be video of this.



I want to see if the towel ripped in half, with both of them falling to the ground.  Thing on the left likely went Ker-Splat.

[Jacketman65]

Sad thing is that WE were probably going to buy it for them.

[Uncle Ivan]

Possibly.

I've got a rant brewing about different types of food bought.  I'd lay cash that they don't buy much in the vegetables and fruits sections, but load up in the frozen food aisles.

[Brian G]

And potato chips.

[cuckoobird]

And potato chips.

soda too

[fastdrop]

don't leave off beer.... I have seen it with my own two eyes. Lady gets told she can't buy it with her EBT card. She gets furious and finally the cashier has to get the manager. The manager says it is ok. I don't know if the store ate it or they ran it on her EBT card but off she went with her 6 pack.

[Breitontime]

I've never seen that happen, but have seen someone told no on cigarettes, and then they pull out a rubber band bank of $100 bills to buy them.

[Uncle Ivan]

Dunno if they still do it, but cashiers had to turn taxes off when ringing them up.   Then there was all the meat.  I had that one explained to me once.

Looking at an ad for Bill's here in Jonesboro.  20 lb bag of russets for less than five bucks.  Good deal, goes a lot farther than unhealthy frozen dinners.

[Jacketman65]

If the tax payer is going to foot the bill for these people, then there should only be certain items that they should be allowed to purchase. Such as potatoes, sugar, flour and other staples.  Not the prime rib, chips and beer.  By all means no prepaired foods,  these folks should learn to cook and make due.

[Breitontime]

It's baffling to me that they can use ebt cards at restaurants now. I see signs in windows of restaurants all the time "ebt accepted."

[cuckoobird]

And convenience stores

[redwolf143]

Not denying things happened here, they did.  However, the picture being posted here is not of the Walmart in West Memphis.  There is no gated area cornered at either entrance and the produce section is on the wrong side of the store.

[True Believer]

RW.  I'm not even going to say it. 

[Brian G]

Often the gates are only down at night.  It's common at all WMT's for the stores up front to "close" in such a way.

[Hoghead]

Found out today that the towel riot broke out in the Wynne WM Friday as well, but not on the scale as it was in West Memphis.

Typical of Wynne...LOL !

Wasn't that craziness with the EBT cards in Wal Marts close to your neck of the woods.

You are correct this is not the West Memphis WalMart in this picture. Though it is a funny picture I would like ot see actual pictures of the incident.

There's a lot of old train towns in this state.

Ok.  Now I'm going to say it.  Dear Lord people It's a joke!!  Get a sense of humor already.

[fastdrop]

I was not going to bring this up but I will.

I think this Wal-mart is in Destin and Hoghead had sent his girlfriend in to get some grub for the grill and well things went down hill from there.
