My husband and I went to Walmart this morning to return an item. We figured that it would be an easy deal because how many people return stuff on Fourth of July. We walked in the door of Walmart and the return line is 15 people long! We decided we could wait on our return.
When we checked out, we asked the cashier why there was such a long line for the return cashier today. She said that no one had any idea but that this morning, they actually had to open up four extra cash registers just to accommodate the people pouring in for the return section. She said Walmart was just as bemused as we were about why so many and why today.
My husband said this sort of thing usually happens after Christmas when people return unwanted gifts. I said the last holiday before the Fourth of July was Memorial Day . . . so, were we supposed to give out gifts on Memorial Day? :-)
We took a few peeks to see what the people were in line to return and there wasn't any common ground to give us a hint. I suppose a lot of people woke up this morning, started the holiday barbecue and suddenly exclaimed, "Let's go return stuff to Walmart!" And they did.
