    I loved your poetry about this kind of shopping. Yes sometimes those waiting in line get exasperated, and things like that happen. I am glad your poetry shows a side of real life example.

      I think everyone was frustrated, but taking it out on innocent shoppers wasn't the route to go.

      But who knows, maybe that was a diversion for someone to walk out without paying.

      I may get exasperated, but not like that.

      I was on the phone trying to call Walmart to ask why these all the checkout lines were not open, but they didn't even pick up the call.

    I enjoyed the poem, Brenda. From your experience and others, I have heard of, I am glad we don't have Walmart in this country. The videos gave me a good laugh too. Thank you for sharing the link, Rosina.

    Bredz, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your lovely and delightful poem. People could have used tomatoes instead of eggs, in my opinion. Lol! I mean, it's completely safe. Eggs have an unpleasant smell. big_smile tongue Thank you so much for sharing.

    Rosina, thank you so much for sharing Brenda's hub with us.

    Blessings and Love to both of you!!

      Misbah...
      Tomatoes ....I guess that wouldn't smell.  I wonder if that would hurt worse than an egg.

      I'd been happier if no one tossed anything and I feel fortunate that it wasn't a bullet.

      Take care.

    Someone else also shared this piece from Brenda, but thanks Rosina for also sharing it.  It must have been quite the scene in that store when the eggs were tossed!  I hope never to experience such a scene in person!
