Armed with this information I went to my local walmart today (I usually try and avoid them). They had 5 dragonflies, 2 blue and 3 green. All the boxes were some sort of hurt, including two that the dragonfly was upside down in the package. One green one was sitting correctly and the box was the least smooshed of the bunch, so I grabbed that one to look it over more. Taped to the back of the package was a register slip saying "return defective merchandise". Cute... They were all still marked at $25 too.

I may check a different wally world tomorrow.

Watch out, don't step in the anthropomorphization.

Ya, I hit up the scanner too, they still booped at $25. That's okay, since they were all messed up I still wouldn't have even paid ten.

Maybe I'll have better luck at a different store. We only have six walmarts within a twelve mile drive from my house. And they're building a new uber-walmart up the street from one of them.

Watch out, don't step in the anthropomorphization.

Ya, on behalf of the little guys, I too look forward to it's demise. I make a concerted effort to not shop there if possible. Sometimes (eg potential ten dollar dragonflies) I'll go there, even though I know that's fairly hypocritical of me...

Hick town? Haha. Despite it's size, I still consider this a hick town. Check out this band (warning, myspace page) and their song "San Bernardino" (currently the first one on their player). Frighteningly accurate. Lyrics like, "My car has a bullet hole, from when I went to San Bernardino." and "I was burned in a meth lab fire when I went to San Bernardino."

Oh, I can't wait to leave this town.

Watch out, don't step in the anthropomorphization.
