I have to share a Wal-Mart story. I have been an avid Wal-Mart hater for as long as I can remember, hopefully a lot of you feel the same.
I lived in Peoria, Illinois for almost two years. It seemed like I was the only one who had any sense not to shop at Wal-Mart. Anyway, I had to go there every so often, because they were the only place in town that offered to take and recycle plastic bags.
One of my few days off was a rainy day. I decided to scoot over to Wal-Mart to make a deposit of plastic bags. As I was driving away, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Women were sifting through the recycling box, taking the bags, and putting them over their heads to protect their mullets from the rain! OK, not all of them had mullets. ;) Needless to say, I was quite peeved. I was sure that the bags that I had so painstakingly saved...I'd pick them out of bushes on walks with my dogs...were not going to get recycled. Don't you hate when your efforts get crapped on by the people who just don't give a shit?
Yeah. I hate Wal-Mart.
I also was bothered by the fact that I couldn't find a place to recycle plastic. I had to drag it all the way back to MN with me when I visited my folks.
