Red face Bad, bad trip to the Sams Club

Heading in to pick up some meats for the smoker this weekend. On my way in I saw a 300 lb + man trying on a shirt. He removed his shirt to do so. Bare skin. Didn't fit. Too tight. Put it back on the card table pile and put his best Ohio State sleeveless deal back on. Needless to say it is 90+ degrees here today so at 300+ lbs I am sure there was moisture transfer going on. After picking up some meats and putting them in my cart, I saw a different patron pick his nose and eat it. I walked away from my buggy and went to a real market. Sorry, no pictures.

Uh. I'm not really sure what to say. The last time I was in a BR, the dressing rooms were individual, not community. So...

do you have something to tell us all? We won't judge.

I don't go to Sam's Club or Walmart. I'd rather spend a little more and not have to deal w/ that crap.

No offense to their patrons I just prefer not to see the white trash that seems to congregate there. But it is getting more difficult to avoid them since the population of the US is over 30% obese now.

I do not eat all the meats. I get most satisfaction from watching others enjoy and heap praises on me.
I am 6'3" and 218 lbs but still a little moist in this heat.

I like the Tasmanian Devil with a swastika on his belly holding a sorta-US flag (16 or so stars) and the words "God Bless America." I'm still trying to figure out the message.

I was in a Kroger store last summer in the same isle with a plus sized woman in a tube top carrying a 2 year old. You can guess. Kid squirmed, yanked top down, people screaming "for the love of God pull it up!!" It wasn't pretty.

The only things worse than the scenes you describe is the insufferable urban snobs who would never, ever venture into a WalMart or WallyWorld or whatever.

Just sayin'

Wow, that guy really needs to get popped in the mouth for being an uncouth douchenozzle.

Weird, you're wearing underwear, but take it off to try on pants. That's just weird and gross.

I luv my Sams..I check out the meat and pickup the reduced about to expire for a BIG DISCOUNT...take it home and freeze and use as need...

Of course the Sam and Wally I go to are not in a low rent district..as a matter of fact most of the time I see more employees than customers in Sams...

Of course there are probably people that tell stories about me either letting out a big whett one and having to alter their course as I tell em "What do ya want me to get sick or sumthin." or seeing me put my hand down the back of my pants to scratch my azz and then picking up the meat or produce to examine and the put it back down...I just can't imagine why people would look so digusted...

So, you're saying you belong there.

On the main topic, the clothes deal has got to be worse for women.
