The backstory: I am a regular reader of The Pioneer Woman’s website and enjoyed the photos and descriptions of her line of dishes and kitchen goods, available at Walmart. Normally, Walmart is off limits in my world but I like the dishes so much that I wanted to visit them in stores. Thus a recent Saturday found T and I making a trip to Walmart. The Pioneer Woman goods were there, but they were haphazardly displayed, with no effort to present the collection in an appealing fashion. I found this tiresome.
Me: If they were at Target, there’d be a tidy and attractive display. Walmart just jams the stuff on some shelves and calls it good.
T: That’s the Walmart way. Their approach is simple. They tell us, “We have shoddy and cheap goods. You know that you love it. Now get your ass in here and buy stuff.”
At that I burst into laughter. When I settled, T had one more thought.
T: It’s a wonder I don’t work in marketing.
