Lots of Walmarts in Quebec I hear.
That must bug the shit out of corporate head quarters down in Bentonville Arkanses. They can look at a map of all they've conquered and theres a big piece missing.

I recall going to a Walmart in Quebec City and being astounded by how clean it was. Everything was organized, there wasn't random boxes of tighty whities in the automotive section, the people were prettier; it was like some Utopian civilization. However, the remaining Walmarts (with the exception of the one in Dryden, a lifesaver), I avoid.

If your bored in Small town America just go wander around the local WalMart you will see things that will confound even the most seasoned Mullet hunter. My most recent encounter was a rather rotund gentleman dressed entirely in Real Tree Camouflage sitting on a scooter patrolling the isle for deals all the while his O2 tank kept him alive in addition he was topped with a NASCAR hat with as per S.O.P. mullet extending from said hat.
