Way Off Topic

Post by TXGOAT2 » Mon Nov 10, 2025 10:23 am

At the local Wal Mart, the little square sticks at the checkout counter to divide one customer's stuff from another's seem to be gone. Are we, the Public, now considered to be too unstable to have access to such things?

Pretty sad situation. I guess the carts will go next, or will it be canned goods? Kitchen ware? Sporting goods? We need to lock up thieves and predators, not merchandise and equipment!

One of my favorite pictures is of one of those things (whatever they're called) with the caption, "I keep trying to buy this and the cashier keeps putting it back."

They're gone here. Just after a major remodel, too. The wall clock near the checkouts has vanished, too.
