Yep, in the same lot as Panera's.

I added an Index to the first post of this thread, for easier browsing.

I'm considering it, but it switches from sideways to upright once or twice, and it's nothing of particular note. If I can get the file (it's 4 minutes long) off of PiP's phone, I might do something with it.

Low class doesn't begin to describe it. A woman was robbed and shot in the back in their parking lot a year ago this month.

Yea that walmart is a shit hole, even when i close to that walmart i used to drive to the walmart in Trexlertown, or the one on 191. I prefer the Trexlertown walmart though now i live close to it so it works out.

From an older thread:

I was at Reading Walmart Superstore about a year and a half ago. I think it was Reading. The parking lot alone was like a bazaar in Afghanistan. There were people tailgating, people with umbrellas set up, people walking around trying to sell me stuff. I was afraid to leave my car parked to go inside but I needed ammo.

That place really creeped me out.

"... It's simple common courtesy ... my dog.
... might as well be a cell phone as far as you're concerned unless ...

I used to have a doberman. He wasn't attack trained, not that he was a pussy cat either - for whatever reason he really hated cats. In fact he was a show dog and by way of AKC he earned a championship and a CD title. Hans was a very good looking blue and rust doby and I often had the same problem you described. When out walking him, if going into a local store I often tied him outside where I could keep an eye on him and for those who wanted to have a closer look and/or pet him and yes, adults were considerably worse in that regard than children.

As for that "cell phone" comment - good one! Well put.

This week, I was stopping at Home Depot to pick up a networking tool. Getting out of the car, another person was hopping out of his work van at the same time. He did a quick double-take, then smiled.

"I didn't see your gun at first!"
"Most people don't, to be honest." I smiled back.
"Ahh. You know what is it - the bright shirt." I was wearing one of my magnificent shirts that day. "If you were wearing a darker color, I probably wouldn't have noticed it, but it stands out against the brightness."
"You know, I was just talking about that concept with some friends." Referring to a thread on here.
"At first I thought you might be a cop, being as well dressed as you are...but there's no way you're doing undercover work wearing such a loud shirt!"

We both chuckled. At this point, we'd both made it into the store.

"Well, truth be told, I'm not with the police."
A huge sly grin crossed his face. "Oh, you're here to knock over the joint! I'll be in hardware if you need me!"

And he turned down an aisle. I laughed.
