It's July and I'm getting back to school deal emails from companies like Amazon

*** off you money grubbers

well some kids are already going back/on the verge of going back to school.

Kids here in Michigan don't go back in until after Labor Day, because otherwise it affects tourism apparently.

It's the end of July, a lot go back to school in a matter of 2-3 weeks, if not sooner.

I went to Walmart last week to pick up some teaching supplies, and they had a back to school section. It looked like a nuclear bomb exploded in there. It looked like a Ross. Notebooks and pencils strewn all over the place. It was *** ridiculous.

How are you American and still surprised by this stuff!
I dunno. I guess I just fear for the habits of my country, sometimes. Still haven't ruled out the possibility of moving to Canada one day.

Ouch lol yeah one of the reasons I refuse to give walmart any money.
The only reason I went there was because I got a gift card there and I couldn't afford anyplace else, but I really needed some supplies for my classroom. I basically didn't have a choice.

I'm used to ~sept 1st or August 29th being schools in. So getting ads in July is like, "wtf do I need school supplies in July for"

But you're right it's pretty close to August technically lol
Schools here start in early september, universities late october.

I wasn't saying that because of you. I abhor how Walmart treats their employees and tries to dominate all other small businesses in the cities they inhabit. There's a reason their products are so cheap. Their practices aren't what I would call ethical.

That being said, right now I don't have a choice. If I did though, I would opt out of going to Walmart. There are many other better stores to choose from.

Value

McDonald's and coke-cola serve many times more people than Walmart but Walmart is still a way bigger company. McDonald's was like #25 on the list
I'm not concerned with "served" but employees more so, I wonder if the McDonalds numbers would include the franchises, hmm, prolly not.

I go to Meijers, which is a regional chain here akin to Walmart, over Walmart. At least the money is going back to a tried and true American company, well sorta speak. The money comes back to the local economy

obviously, but Walmart is national, and Meijers is regional, mostly in the Midwest

Holy ***...

I did 45 minutes of P90X's Cardio workout, and according to their calculator, I worked off... 929 calories. Basically, I need to eat another 1100 calories just to get the 1200 for my bare minimum for the day.
