I'd have to say that many places see much more violence than Walmart stores.
Other than the mass shooting, I'd have to say 'Dollar General Stores' see much
more violence. Much much much more violence.
Dollar General Stores are every where it seems. I mean, even in the middle of
no where you'll find a dollar General store.
There are over 16,000 Dollar General Stores in the USA.
In fact, my sister and I just now returned from the one in the town I live.
They are small stores that have a little bit of everything. Most of the stores are
over crowded with box's and products that some times it is even difficult to walk
down an isle. Usually there is very few employees.....maybe 2 or 3 at any time
and often only 1 or 2.
I have gone into a lot of dollar general stores and I have NEVER gone in one that
has NOT been robbed.
Walmart is a very popular place with Walmart stores in most every city in the USA.
There are approximately 5,000 Walmart stores in America.
For example, I live in a small rural town. I can drive one way for about 12 minutes
and be at a Super Walmart in one small city. I can drive another way from where
I live and be at another even larger Super Walmart in about 25 minutes.
Walmart employs a lot of people.
A lot of socializing goes on at Walmarts, in the stores and outside of the stores.
Many people will park their vehicle at Walmarts and then go off together at a
party or car pool, etc. Everyone knows where their local Walmart is located so
it's as simple as saying 'I'll meet you at Walmart parking lot'.
So what may transpire is employee squabbles, customer squabbles with employees
or other people in the store, personal squabbles (wife going out with another man)
inside or outside the store, squabbles over a parking space, etc.
Some people have bad brains and allow their emotions to run away with them.
That can turn into jail, prison, or even death.....all because of something not
worth spilt salt.
Then of course there are the wackos. El Paso Walmart shooter is the example
of that.
You've watched/read some of the craziness in Walmarts over toilet paper or another
in demand low stock product.
Yes that is sad but there is a reason why they euthanize an animal that has killed a human.
It's not because the animal killed 'that' human. It is for fear the animal will hunt for humans
and kill again and again.
I am certainly far from perfect and I admit that for sure.
Unfortunately, you tend to use projection. Projecting your issues on others in
a very negative way and often going back to past events or something someone
else has done or not done.
I did not place demands on you. I politely requested you stop posting gd. The
thing is, I don't like reading f this and f that either, but those initials do not bother
me because they are related to cuss words. However, gd does bother me because
it is taking the Lord's name. You see when I read that, those words hit my brain,
not the initials and it is very upsetting to me. I did not demand you stop, I simply
and politely requested you stop.
None of us are saints here.
I'm not trying to do anything but what I said I would do here, moderate the forums.
I am actually very slack, I do believe. Perhaps I shouldn't be. That's probably my
problem, allowing members to get away with too much, too many topics that should
not even be discussed here. And you sir, have gotten away with far more than anyone
else here.
That's ok. Nothing wrong with being a passive member.
I did not do surveys here at all last month and have done very little this month.
I think I've made about $5 in the last couple of months. I've been busy offline
mostly.
I would never suggest anyone cancel their membership, however. One never
knows what tomorrow will bring.
1. I don't know you and I don't hate you. I don't hate anyone here. In fact, I have
enjoyed a few of our discussions in these forums.
2. Please stop posting 'gd' in your posts.
3. I don't think you realize tasman1 posts. He's actually one of the funniest characters
here that tries to keep things on the light side in the forums. I don't take anything he
says as 'serious' unless he is asking for help. Why you are calling him names and being
so abusive to him, is beyond me. You should apologize to him.
4. You truly do not have the right to come to these forums and consistently abuse everyone.
You say you take constructive criticism but you don't at all. You're on top of the world here
when you make $10 or more a day but if you make very little or nothing, you always take
out your anger on someone here and it's usually tasman1. So I am asking you right now, to
stop.
Many people have little respect for others these days. I also find that many people lack
respect for the elderly and those that don't understand a language fully.
