ABCNews: Shopping for Dates at Wal-Mart […] Singles can head to the Roanoke Wal-Mart tonight for the third of the store’s weekly singles nights, held every Friday evening. Billed as a way singles can meet their match while filling their cart, participating customers select shopping carts adorned with red bows identifying them as singles looking to mingle. The rest is up to them. […] “And that runs the gamut from 20-somethings to single parents to senior citizens. It’s extremely popular over there,” [some employee] said.

I can’t get my mind around this one. I mean, I remember thinking “where did all these Springer rejects come from?” when they opened a Wal-Mart near my old hometown. I would have sworn they imported them all, just to have that “unique Wal-Mart Feeling” to it. The only Wal-Mart I’ve been to that hasn’t had “that feeling” to it was in northeastern Tennesee; the rest of them have all oozed with it.

Fear… in bulk sizes.
