All I remember is last year (or maybe the year before) calling the
WalMart in Beaufort to check the price of corned beef brisket. I was on
hold forever waiting for someone in the meat department to pick up the
phone. The "receptionist" (or whatever her title is) put me on hold
then had to ask repeatedly why I was calling. Someone else finally
picked up the phone; apparently the first woman went on break or some
such BS. Lather, rinse, repeat. A manager finally picked up but he
said he was at a phone in the women's department. Dammit, I want to
know the price of corned beef brisket! It was absolutely ridiculous.
