Poor Walmart Rich Walmart
I really enjoy going to the poor Walmart in town. When you call a friend and they pick up their cell phone, they say hey…great to hear you… you say great to hear you too!! What’s that noise in the background? Did I call at a bad time? Should I let you go?


They say, “ oh no…it’s fine…. I’m just at Walmart picking up a few things.” Wanting to get a picture of where they are at I might ask…. Are you at the poor walmart or the rich walmart??? If it’s Mary, she will say, at the poor walmart.

In a medium sized town there are several Walmarts. The newer built areas of town are often nice big homes with people with nice big salaries. When a walmart is built near their home, they will shop there after they are done protesting having such a store in their neighborhood…they DO shop there.

Walmart will try to make the building prettier and have nice landscaping. They will have the coffee shop and the plant and flower shop be upscale. They will have the good meats and fresh vegetables. That is the rich Walmart. Clean, good environment, classier foods, and maybe even a nice wine shop near by.

The poor Walmart has been there for awhile… they are not building a new walmart in a poor part of town. They will not have all of the higher priced selections for the poor walmart. The parking lot will not be cleaned up as nicely. Clearly rich people are rude at their walmart and toss trash on the ground. But the rich walmart will be cleaned quickly.


Who works at the poor Walmart. People will walk from their homes to the walmart to work. They will apply for jobs in their neighborhood walmart. The workers are the poor people and even though they are good workers and pleasant and fun with the customers, let’s face it….they are working at the poor walmart. That walmart job might even be the highest paid wage going in their household.


Who works at the rich walmart. People who are not the breadwinner for their family. Rich kids who were told they had to have a job and the mall jobs were taken. Are they the best workers? Maybe not.

They might be the snobby self-centered kid who was told to have the job. Her blond hair is still paid for by her parents, her nice clothes are still bought by her parents, his sporty shiny car is still paid for by his parents. Of course, the insurance is paid by the parents.


They are the most likely NOT to be pleasant or try to relate to a chatty smiling customer. They will not look for and offer help to a customer. They may ask if you need help, but it is clear that it is just a begrudgingly offered line forced out to comply with the supervisors orders. Not a warm genuine people to people offer.


When in the Rich Walmart, I will take their no hearted offer of assistance and yelp, YES, you CAN. And I will make them help me find and choose between items. Of course I didn’t need the spoiled nitwits help. I will make them stop leaning against a rack and walk with me and give them the illusion that they are helping me.

What other Poor versus Rich stores are there? Movie theatres? grocery stores? Liquor stores. How about the old mall versus the new mall??? How about RICH CHURCH versus Poor people Church.

Is it a matter of safety? What about that. If you thought you would be safe at the poor walmart would you go? Why not? Do you not want to meet pleasant poor people?


Look… you Rich people spend your neighborhood time with Rich people. You spend your holidays with mostly Rich people, your vacations are with Rich people, your church is with Rich people, Your work is with Rich people and those people who clean up after you Rich people.


How about spending time going to the poor walmart or the poor mall now and then. The poor liquor store might even have a beer or booze you haven’t tried yet.


I am sure you fear going to the poor ATM to withdraw cash even though the thieves would more likely want to rob you at the Rich ATM cash machine… duh.. more money, and your wallet, and your jewelry and a joy ride in your Rich car.


But go sincerely to the safe poor walmart. Go enjoy yourself. There might be some neat things on the clearance shelves. There might even be some wonderful people to chat with. They are helpful and kind and won’t even make you feel uncomfortable although you are the freakish Rich people with dumb looking purses. They’ll not draw attention to the odd way you look and the odd things you say and do. They might just accept you for who you are.


Sincerely, JUDGE WYLD
