Those poor posts.

Or is it the clientele? Like maybe consistently people who should no longer be driving?

I can’t speak about this particular person, but it’s a good idea to remember that in general, people are driving around after successive bouts of brain damage. The shit I’ve seen on the roads in the last year is a good indication that a lot of people aren’t even aware of the world around them.

We pretend not to notice this because it would raise too many uncomfortable questions.

Oh it’s the clientele…that’s my Walmart and trust me. Right during covid I was in line (15-20 minute minimum wait while various checks, cards and EBT get denied, items are put back, etc etc) and this woman walks too close to the woman behind me in line and the woman behind me goes “six feet, BITCH” and then holy hell here we go…SMFH. If LA is the armpit of Maine, and it is, the Auburn Walmart is the longest, curliest, skankiest hair in that armpit. Stay away!

I honestly think Rumford-Mexico is way worse than Lewiston-Auburn, which is a distant third (Augusta’s pretty bad too)

I don't think the Walmart in Mexico is bad at all but then again I'm from south Florida so.....🤷🏻‍♀️ to me the little Wally world here isn't so bad. Lol

There was an article a couple years ago about how Walmart employees at the Mexico one were caught literally raking trash down towards the nearby river bank

You moved there at pretty much the best time, autumn is absolutely the best season to be in that part of the state (really, any part of the state, but especially that one).

I hope the difficulties that come with our winters don’t sour the novelty of snow for you. Storms get bad in the mountains.

That area is gorgeous but the Mexico Walmart is the saddest Walmart I’ve ever seen

Northwestern maine in general is absolutely beautiful, but the human element throughout much of it leaves a bit to be desired

Idk why the fuck I have to look at confederate flags in a state where we sent more of a percentage of our population to die in the civil war than any other union state

I’m here probably once or twice a week and I always miss the good stuff.
