What's cooking at Walmart


Well—it turns out that Walmart is good for something American-made.

Seems that various stores have been used by their customers for manufacturing methamphetamine.

Back in December, a woman was arrested in Tulsa for shoplifting the various ingredients & then, you know, making it.

(Well, I suppose that it’s not technically “shoplifting” until she transports the loot out of the store without paying for it, & she was nicked before she actually got outside. But still.)

Then, in April, a janitor at a Walmart in Boaz, Ala., discovered a meth lab in the women’s room.

Okay—so, twice could just be a coincidence. But wait—there’s more.

Last week employees at a Walmart in a suburb of St. Louis detained a woman for shoplifting. While she was in the store holding area, she started cooking up a batch of meth.

Turns out she was carrying the lab works in her purse, but she still chose that particular retailer to as her supply chain resource & manufacturing site.

I don’t know what to make of this. But these women are just living the Walmart motto: Save money. Live better.
