Bwahahaha, I remember living in Oklahoma and it being the same way. I used to tell people online about it and none of them would believe it. Go to Walmart on a Friday or Saturday night there and you see all sorts of preppy high school kids in their letter jackets hanging out in the store and go to the parking lot and college kids are parked in the parking lot with their music playing just watching the traffic go in and out. Walmart was literally the ONLY place to shop there too, so I guess it was the closest thing to a mall the kids had to waste time at. Because of this, I never go to Walmart anymore. My entire high school life is basically a sad Walmart story.
The combination of this with the shady business moves are why I hate going there anymore. I still have friends that want to go hang out there whenever I visit home. It makes me sad thinking about how so much of what was/is deemed "fun" by people in those types of areas is driven purely by consumerism, with the only alternative being drugs or alcohol.

Ugh. This is making me extra sad now. I smurfing hate small towns. It's all people whose lives are so pathetic such that the only things that bring them excitement are being drunk, high, or going to Wal-Mart.
