“The Great Satan” is what I call WalMart, because Charlie hated WalMart with the heat of a thousand suns.
I go there occasionally, because there are just some essentials that are available nowhere else in a 50 mile radius.
While I was there, I made the best of a bad business by taking a couple of door pictures.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: A store you or your loved one hates.

February 15, 2024 at 7:38amWiltshire Bakery was subtle,
a casual brick and mortar,
fickle, shiny like a bubble,
a joy and happiness hoarder.
Like many a lazy day
my bother and I made
our way to coffee at the corner
to break the malaise of the day.
For some reason on this
particular day
the owner was unhappy
her eyes never glancing our way.
Perturbed then disturbed
my brother’s glee to a frown,
hand waving for her attention
motioning her to walk down.
A patronizing venture
thought he and I.
Support local business
‘‘twas our reason why.
For the service was abysmal,
away without our coffee call.
5 minute trysts for coffee
now take place at the mall.

February 16, 2024 at 10:36amI go to Walmart about as often as you do. Good to know what the fire exits look like. I’m almost always looking for an exit as soon as I step inside.
