Alright, here's how it works. I'll describe a situation and you guys and gals have to figure out what I am thinking.<br /><br />The situation: <br /><br />For the past 5-6 months they have been building Wal-Mart near where I live and work. The area is kind of a growing/affluent area where many of the local "executives" in Milwaukee have been settling down. From my understanding IKEA and WalMart duked it out for this piece of land and WalMart ended up winning.<br /><br />But after driving past the construction site several times over the past few months, I just noticed something MISSING today. In a way it stunned me!<br /><br />What is in my head, I.E. what is missing?<br /><br />Sean

Maybe the grossly overweight, freelaoding, 6 kids of 5 men, spandex wearing, twinkie goobling, Plymouth Volare driven, slimey hair female patrons.

Good guesses, and very accurate. But not right. Keep in mind, the place is still under construction and something is missing.... :D

Some union construction guys outside of the construction area protesting the inequity of non union labor?

We have a Winner! And I'm not referring to the lack of em on the JOB, rather, the lack of them picketing outside! Not a single sign, picketer, nothing. I have never driven past a WalMart under construction without seeing any of the above!!<br /><br />Sean<br /><br />Edit - Wow, Mud, you sneaked that in there before I could post. You nailed it RIGHT On the head.

I work at the Orange County Airport and there is always 4-5 people across the street with a bright orange banner "Shame on "XXX Company".... LABOR DISPUTE". Now I have no idea what the dispute is but whats really funny is to see the same people a week later in front of another comany around the block with the same sign but with a diffrent company name. <br /><br />There must be some company out there that the unions pay just to picket when they do not have a real right to do so.<br /><br />Funny world we live in.<br /><br />Kevin

We have a Walmart going up to and get this....the town won't let them build it to look like "walmart" it has to fit in with our rural landscape and it is going to have a hitching post for the Amish or anyone else that wants to ride a horse to the store.

Walmart under construction is such a common sight here it already blends in with the "landscape." Heck, it IS the landscape.<br /><br />"Walmarts" is the new unit of measurement. Hard to use though, it keeps shrinking. My sister's house is eight Walmarts away. No, nine, by next week it'll be ten. <br /><br />I've never seen a picket line in or around a Walmart store or construction site. Do union construction workers cross it to get to work?
