So I'm at Wal*Mart to pick up a prescription the other day. (Yeah, I know, but my account has been there 11 years or so, when I used to shop there regularly, and it's just so easy.)
I've got 20 minutes to kill, so I wander over to automotive to pick up some wiper blades, grab a couple boxes of meal-replacement bars that I can't find anywhere else, browse the shitty music and magazine selections, and head back to the pharmacy area.
In the vitamin aisle, something catches my eye: a big box of ExtenZe. And right next to it, a package of Enzyte. Two boxes of expensive snake-oil, the makers of which have both been sued and fined relentlessly for false advertising. Right with the normal vitamins. That was just a little disturbing.
Even worse?
On the Enzyte, there was a little label: "If you see this product sold at any location other than Wal*Mart, please call 1-888-xxx-xxxx." That's right, folks! Not only does Wal*Mart carry this bullshit, they have the exclusive! And they're gonna sue your ass!
I can't wait until we move, when I'll have a Rite Aid a block up the street.
