One more reason not to shop at Wal-Mart: cocaine in the toy department

Oh come on are you really going to stop shopping at Wal-Mart just because some strung out druggie left drugs in the toy department. I am sure that is Wal-Marts fault.

Don't you think the statement"One More Reason Not To Shop At Wal-Mart" is unfair? You are conveying the idea that Wal-Mart put that mess(cocain) on the shelves and condones drug use. It might have been put there by a Sears or Target spy. I am not a vivid fan of Wal-Mart, but come-on. This accusation is reduclious. But then everybody wants to bring the Big Boy down, so have your say.

Along with the smart remark about WalMart and one more reason not to shop there because of the cocaine, which by the way could have been found anywhere, What gave you the right to sit your daughter down in middle of the parking lot with the WalMart sign behind her and her crying That was very cruel to her just to get a picture.

WALMART is Gaelic for "trailer trash." Never been there, never will.

Who could be so narrow minded to thing this would be a reason NOT to shop at Walmart. It could have happen at local mom and pop store as well as anywhere else. Come on grow up.

I'm confused about the whining baby in the middle of the Walmart parking lot in the picture that accompanies the story. Is she crying because her cigarette-pack of crack got taken away? Or because she's about to get run over by a car because her momma set her down in the middle of a Walmart parking lot--known for white trash who can't drive their rattly old cars properly? Does the picture have anything at all to do with the story other than it's a picture of a Walmart? I don't get it.

It is totally unfair to say "one more reason not to shop at Walmart", it wasn't one of the employees, who are screened for drugs, that put it there. Walmart is a great place that has the lowest prices and a great selection of merchandise. If not for Walmart, we would all be paying a lot more for everything.

Just because one WalMart had some cocaine in the aisle, doesnt mean that all of the wal marts are hiding cocaine for kids to get. More than likely, it was a simple deal gone bad between employees switching shifts. If you want to look at the other side of it maybe. people make too big of a deal out of everything. Plus, there are too many people on the planet as there is! and what would be one less kid running around anyway if they did eat the cocaine? one sad family, but people die everyday for unknown reasons. It is God's way of saying that earth is getting way to overpopulated with people. So he is slimming it down a little. Go God!

Anyone could have dropped that box of cigarettes. Not a reason not to shop at Wal Mart. Glad no innocent child was hurt.

That couldve been found at any retailer .... and that smart guy leaves his daughter in the parking lot to take a pic, when the child couldve easily been run over or backed over by some other idiot not paying attention.... SMART MOVE ... so big deal ...DONT SHOP THERE.... it leaves more parking spaces for someone like me, who does shop at WALMART!

Wal-Mart=Always using communist slave labor to build the products WE buy from them.....ALWAYS. Then they try to tell us that outsourcing American jobs is good for America. Are we REALLY that gullible? Well, are we?

Geez people... relax!! The headline was supposed to be comical... Obviously, the person that wrote the story shops at Wal-Mart (hence the picture), and wasn't trying to stop people from going there because some lunatic placed his cds on the shelf while he/she shopped for christmas presents. Let's just all breathe a sigh of relief that it was discovered by a law abiding citizen and discarded of properly. Furthermore, the picture was a riot! All kids get pissed when they have to leave a toy store, and inevitably drop to the ground someplace to protest! I honestly think that taking a quick picture of her tantrum, was better than a public butt beating!! Great story and headline!!!

I'm with the reader who pointed out how you endangered your child by sitting her in the middle of the parking lot. Have you ever paid attention to how people drive in parking lots? Some one could have easily been speeding through and what you thought would be a "cute" picture could have so quickly turned into the most tragic event of your life. Maybe you need to be a bit more careful in pointing fingers.

I dont think that the headline is too bad. Im not a big shopper at walmart, and I think that this goes to show what type of people shop at walmart. Its not just for rednecks anymore! I also believe that walmart is to blame for not being as vigilant for trash. I say this being a father, imagine if your child found that cocaine and ate it, you would scream lawsuit and hunt walmart down like a modern day frankenstien. But since you didnt find it and your child is fine, we shouldnt blame walmart. Hypocritical society!

Interesting story, even better that it happened at walmart. Glad all ended well, and no, its not an unfair title. It "could" happen anywhere, but that it was sitting on the shelf unnotticed... a lot (not all) of employees there just don't care about the customer experience. i wouldn't be shocked to find out several employees walked by, and either didn't care enough to check shelves for anything they could do, or even see it and just leave it there, not caring. death to walmart.
