I believe that Sam Walton was a CIA Clown In America.
Several years ago I was driving cross country with a little dog in my fancy convertible. I was living in Oklahoma in the 1980s, when Walmart first started its campaign to expand their Arkansas-based stores, and I liked Walmart. So on my cross-country trip I decided to stop at Benton, AK and go through the very first Walmart where it all got started. Sam Walton's original truck was parked out front, but it was very late at night so the store was closed. I needed a nap, anyway, so I thought, "okay, I'll nap from 4 to 6 or so, then go get some coffee and visit the store when it opens."
Well, I popped my bucket seat back and shut my eyes, and before I knew it my car was SURROUNDED by cops who wanted me to get the hell out of town. They were the only asshole cops I met, up until that point in my life, and they treated me like I was a scumbag criminal piece of shit.
They told me to get out of town, and NO, I could not come back to the store.
In short, the response was WAY too dramatic for little old me, someone who has no criminal record, a graduate degree, and I happened to love Walmart and really did want to visit it because I was a fan.
I never forgot how heavily guarded that little ole original Walmart store in Benton, Arkansas is, or how expansive the "security" presence was, moments after I arrived, or how rude those glowing faggots were.
After that, I said,FUCK WALMART, SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT ABOUT THAT STORE.
