Against better judgement, I booked it over to the Wal-Mart Vision Center after work to get a new pair of contacts. I called ahead of time and was told they closed at 7PM.

So I stroll inside the Wal-Mart at 6:45…. and the Vision Center gate is closed.

Right after I got done telling the lady behind the counter that no, they aren’t closed, because they close at 7PM and it’s 6:45 and I’m here and so is she and it’s not 7PM yet — I realized Wal-Mart closed early on me a few years ago:

Their hours said they were open until 6pm. It was 5:53pm. Sweet.

Only that stupid metal gate was pulled down. They were closed. Oh, there was someone behind the counter. But she was just shutting everything down. 7 minutes early.

Now some of you are probably saying, “big deal, seven minutes. They just want to go home.” Well you know what? So did I. But I was there, in that insufferable store. And they should have been too, for at least 7 more minutes.

So in case you were wondering, Wal-Mart Eye Center hours are actually 9am - 5:52pm, not 9am-6pm.

The last time I posted about this, someone emailed me who worked for Wal-Mart and said they would look into it. So hey, if you’re still reading my blog (in which case, you need a hobby), I think you might want to look into it a little more.

Traffic spike on my blog today. Mostly from Boston. What’s up with that?

Um. This is what.

Ronnie Craven admitted today that he had been using the name of Turner, an unremarkable power forward/center who played ten seasons for the New Jersey Nets and Orlando Magic, in order to get laid.
