[LOG] Save Money, Live Better. WalMart.

Who: The People of WalMart. Toivo works there. Tanum does too. Literally everyone goes to WalMart.
What: Bothering the employees (see: Toivo, probably Tanum) of WalMart with inane questions
When: Outside of school hours, during his shift.
Where: WalMart. It's a Super WalMart. There's a gardening section and a grocery section and everything.

There's a place that people go to when they're ready to subject themselves to eternal suffering and torment. It has a name. The name is Walmart.

Only the truly desperate work there. Old people. White trash with five children and no husband. High school boys who go to an expensive private school on scholarship but can't afford anything else otherwise. The truly desperate.

This week's specials!

Tanum can sometimes be found here. Otherwise, come here to return things.

Because WalMart is so insanely big, they have to put a restaurant inside it so people don't die from overexertion.

Find gems in this bin like Milo and Otis, Lord of the Rings, and Bee Movie.

Both Tanum and Toivo can be found working this section at times.

Only old people and suburban housewives who want to try their hand at killing plants come to this section. Toivo sometimes works here.

You know what's in this section? Nerf guns and Barbie dolls. I bet I know what one you're gonna go for.

Helen never really got to do much gardening at home. But it was spring now! A season for new life, and new beginnings!
Also, with a room to herself, she could keep as many plants on the windowsill as she wanted!

That brought her to wal-mart with a mission.
She's been hovering around the flower beds, a small pot tucked under her arm. She was a bit sad with the thought of having limitations on her new plants-- Ideally she wanted to plant an entire garden. But fixed space and small disposable income had crushed that dream.

She looked a bit overwhelmed. But she came here with a mission, and she refused to leave until it was completed!

The gardening section always smelled nice to Toivo. Half of it was outdoors, too, which made it nice during the summer months when Toivo wanted to get some sun but had to work a billion hours a week to keep his finances out of the red.

But her. This woman, wait. No she was a student. Toivo had never talked with her before, but he had seen her around campus. Either way, she looked confused.

Toivo walked forward, put on his best customer service smile, and asked, "May I help you find what you're looking for?"

You can get light bulbs, fixtures, and doorknobs here.

Want to look cool? Don't get your clothes here.

Here's a secret: none of the cashiers are paid enough to care about what weird combination of items you're buying.

Helen jolted, snapping back to reality. The plants had put her in a bit of a trance.
"Yes! I mean-- no, I need to figure this out myself-- wait...hm. You probably have a better idea with this stuff than I do." She paused, leaning forward to get a better look at the tall kid before her. She could've sworn she'd seen this guy before. He looked young. Maybe he was a student?
Well, she'd figure that out later.

"Well I...I want to have something small, something I can keep just near a window, y'know? A little indoor plant." Helen pursed her lips. "But I'm on a tight budget and most of these I've just seen in bigger gardens. If you have the time, I'd really appreciate some advice with picking one out." She glanced over the flats of flowers again.
"They all look so lovely."

Guess who is too broke to pay the arm and a leg that they charge for school food? This guy. Wheeling his cart down the aisles, he definitely looks a little lost. Gareth accosts the first sales associate he happens to find. It was a little difficult to spot the guy, what with how tall he was.

"Yo, where's the mac n cheese?"

Toivo grinned. "I'd love to help out!"

He brought his fingers to his lips, thinking for a moment, before smiling a little. "Well, I can see you going a couple different routes. It all depends on what kind of experience you're looking for."

Toivo started to mentally categorize what sort of plants to keep indoors. "I, personally, like to go for more practical indoor plants. Something like aloe for burns, or a small herb pot for cooking. You could also go for some cacti, which are easy to take care of and don't require a lot of attention. None of those are really that difficult to keep alive, and if you treat them right, they'll live a long time."

Meandering around the aisles, Salem was bored and didn't actually have anything in mind to buy. At least he was a window shopping expert. Professional even. Today, though, he was a little lost on what to do...until he had made it to the sporting goods section. Where he found the bikes. And next to the bikes? Razor Scooters. The night just got fun.

Salem now enjoyed his casual night to Walmart at break neck speeds, whipping around corners, and giggling, chuckling, and laughing the whole way. Current course was through the home improvement.

Usually, Toivo wasn't in the grocery aisles, but sometimes people liked to leave random-ass cereal boxes or other food items intermingled with all the plants. Someone had to take care of it. It's not like the gardening center was usually all that hopping, he had some freedom to move around.

He jumped a little at the sudden voice and looked back over to the customer, trying to figure out what he had just said. Toivo hadn't been paying attention. Man, this guy was definitely just as tall as him, and at least twice as wide.

"Um. Mac and cheese?" He looked around a little. Cereal... wasn't really mac and cheese, no. "Um. I can show you where that is?"

If Navid wanted to buy literally anything he'd go literally anywhere other than Walmart. No he was here to find someone specific, someone he knew would be in the empty electronics department this time of day. He made a beeline for the gangly kid behind the counter as soon as he spotted him.

He grinned and leaned up against the counter. "Ay Toivo," he chimed as if this wasn't their first time meeting.
