Code Blue at Wal-Mart

So, I'm at Wal-Mart today because I have a hankering for frozen egg rolls.

I find a few other things I need and start meandering thru the store to the checkout.

Suddenly, over the intercom I hear, "Attention Customers and Wal-Mart Associates, this is a Code Blue."

I thought it was kind of weird and wondered what a Code Blue was, but kept going towards the checkout.

About 2 minutes later, the voice comes back on over the intercom (as I see employees running around like chickens with their heads cut off) and says "Attention Customers and Wal-Mart Associates, this is a Code Blue. We are evacuating the building. Please walk calmly to the front of the store and exit the building."

As an employee goes by me I asked her what a Code Blue was.

She told me it was a bomb threat.

The guy next to me insists that the cashier should ring up the one thing he wanted to buy. When she told him no, he told her he was going to go buy it at another store.

Have you ever seen 200 cars leaving a Wal-Mart parking lot at the same time?

I wouldn't go to another store with it. I would figure out the price with tax, hand the cash to the cashier, and walk out with it.
