That's how i roll.  No trip to Wal*Mart is complete without witnessing a 
woman beat her child.  I used to say that just as a joke, but honestly, 
the majority of the time i go there (which is not often, fortunately), I 
see a child get slapped and start screaming.  The Super Target and 
Meijer seem to cause less child abuse (or attract misbehaving 
children).  Also, female Target shoppers are on average more attractive 
than female Wal*Mart shoppers based on my observation.
