Retail Hell

I hate Walmart. But, ...it's 3 minutes away. SO, it is the store I visit most often mostly because it's a one stop shop. It gives me anxiety, lots of people that are undoubtedly going to stop mid aisle to talk to their neighbor from 10 years ago who moved away. Last night I needed to make a stop to pick up JR's (OMG I forgot to put him in my profile. Better go edit that....) Atenolol and some cough medicine. Well, I get there and decide to pick up a few more items; Humidifier, wipes, razors, laundry detergent, etc. OH! I also had to pick up Creatine for JR's friend....since I was out, you know...ahem. I go to get the RX and pull out my wallet to pay...where the fuck is my debit card?? Pulling out every card in that section of the wallet...nothing. Fucking wonderful, it's almost in the negatives outside, I do NOT want to leave and come back. So, I tell the clerk lady I will be back. I move to a bench by the pharmacy and sit down, tear my wallet apart. Oh, there it be - wrong section, upside down, and backwards (thanks Mia.) I stand up and flag down lady in pharmacy by window and she smiles at me knowing I am thanking the card God's that my debit was in there.

We continue doing our shopping and Brennan was being an excellent little man by sleeping thru the visit. Time to check out an hour or so and $192.00 later, heading to Self Checkout (I am really anti social at times) Bella helps me scan everything and I find my previous "lost card", slide it through. DECLINED. Jerk card. Try again. DECLINED. STUPID JERK CARD!!! I examine my card and realize it's the one that only had around $40 bucks on it. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Now I gotta get one of the Self Checkout cashier helper people to cancel my transaction so I can just get the cold meds and detergent. Oh, by the way, I had already had self checkout cashier helper person over to verify I was 18 so I could purchase my cough syrup. So, grabs lady and brings her over, explains the situation and she voids it all. I scan the only items I can get at that point - oh fabulous - have to scan the cough syrup again. Oh laddddyyyyyy!!!! Bella is crying because I couldn't get her DS game, literally on the floor sobbing. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!??! Walmart hates me, I swear.

Bella is calmed, I have my items and we are heading out the door finally. Windy, cold, and dark I am pushing the cart with Brennan in his carseat, holding his blanket over with one hand, pushing cart with the other. Where the FUCK is my car?!?! It's on the complete opposite side of parking lot. LOVES IT. Wiping tears from the wind away, we trudge on through the sloppy sludge of snow, shopping cart trying it's hardest to roll through the shit. I am not a big cryer, but I was thisclose to tears. As we are one aisle over from my car ( we went down the wrong one on the right side then) cart stops and won't move, next to a parked car. Bullshit, I am leaving it. LOL. Bella, get the back and my purse, I will get Brennan lets hit the road, yo!
