People watching at Walmart

Today was the day I paid a sitter while I ran errands. I always thought I'd be too cheap to do so but I luckily I am a woman who has come to her senses. While I was at Walmart in line by the auto center (Got an oil change...which by the way have gone up to $30!!!) I actually witnessed a man who requested to only buy tire insurance for one of his four tires he was purchasing. Being one who is lacking the ability to keep her thoughts and feeling far from her sleeve, I burst out laughing. The other 5 people in line turned around to see what I was laughing at to which I replied, "are you seriously only going to do that for one tire?? What kind of driving do you do??" I am not certain as to why the others found no humor in the situation but I thought it was hilarious. And yes, the guy was serious. His reply was, "well...it's worth a gamble isn't it?"

I have found in my experience shopping at Walmart that it is a magnet for rather interesting people. I know this may sound strange but shopping at Target is not nearly exciting as Walmart. People who shop at Target are totally boring. So if you're ever in the mood for humor visit your local Walmart with a new set of eyes and just enjoy:) I also remember as a kid staying in the car while my Mom shopped for groceries.....that too was an enjoyable people watching experience. Of course I always had a list of question in my head for each individual as I made my assumptions about them. Where else do you find good people watching?
