Freeper De-light - Wal-Mart as Single Meeting Place
Shopping for Dates at Wal-Mart
A Virginia Wal-Mart Hosts Weekly Singles Events

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=940058&page=1

July 15, 2005 — From lingerie to lawn mowers, Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer prides itself on offering its customers truly one-stop shopping. Now, customers at a Roanoke, Va., Wal-Mart can peruse the aisles for something extra: a date.

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.

Home Depot/Lowes are better, at least for women
Not too many women are shopping or working there, but lots of men who can fix things.

4. I went to a wedding of a couple that met at Walmart
Actually they had known each other in high school (both had crushes on the other one but no one said anything )and ran back into each other at a Walmart. "Walmart" must have been mentioned at least 4 times IN the ceremony.

Nice couple even if he is a hardcore REPUB. They got married in a really new age type church-it is all very confusing.

6. What a great story to tell the grandkids.
"Grandma, where did you and Grandpa meet?"

"Singles night at WalMart. In the women's underwear section. It was love at first sight."

7. Someday I may reach levels of extreme desperation
but never will I ever shop in Wal-Mart, let alone find a date there.

10. I'll pass, thanks!
Of all the places in LA to find a date, Wal-Mart is the LAST place I'd look!

13. Encouraging them to breed may be the only way to get new
customers, since they've pissed off so many of the rest of us!
