The UK Walmart

I’m from the UK, and we don’t have the Wal-Mart brand over here. We do, however, have a supermarket called ASDA which proudly advertises itself as ‘Part of the Wal-Mart Family’ on all its signs. So I imagine this technically counts.

A few years ago, I was in ASDA when I saw a family. There was a mum, dad and a toddler in the child’s seat of the trolley. From this family came this godawful whining noise. It wasn’t the toddler. It was the dad, going “I want beer! I want BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!”* over and over and over to the mum. At least she had the good graces to look mortified, and I don’t think the dad got his beer.
