  • shazbotben, on 03/04/2008, -4/+536I guess Target would be too ritzy for her tastes then.
    • sharkd, on 03/04/2008, -5/+137Targét is trés chic.
      • TheCasablancan, on 03/04/2008, -10/+54As a former "team member", every time I hear someone refer to the store as Targét rather than TarGET, I set them on fire.

        No mercy, no remorse, it is simply a pleasure to burn.
        • TheSwashbuckler, on 03/04/2008, -28/+10You probably like Freedom Fries...
        • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -3/+15That pronunciation always annoyed me, even before I started working at Target.
          • ShrimpCrackers, on 03/04/2008, -5/+3It annoys me too because TARGET is NOT European, its actually an American company. Its just a myth that Target is French.

            Proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_Corporation
            "Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT), originally known as the Dayton Dry Goods Co., is an American retailing company that was founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1902."
          • ebullit, on 03/04/2008, -2/+5no one ever thought it was... it's a joke just like mal*wart
        • hammburglar, on 03/04/2008, -1/+8so im assuming you hate it as much as i do. there is no ***** team.
        • Clumber, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2I am buying you a case of lighters. Just let me know where to send them. Need any lighter fluid too?
        • edwartica, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1Hmmm, I don't work there, and I never will, but this sounds like fun!
      • thcobbs, on 03/04/2008, -62/+5It's TAR-GET, not Targét, you ***** Euro-trash wannabe.

        /me rant over
        • djbon2112, on 03/04/2008, -0/+39I think that was the joke.
        • SLYK, on 03/04/2008, -5/+35ooh yes, such a rant.

          you ***** tough guy wannabe. shut up.
        • edwartica, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2It has to do with the fact that people like to pretend to be classy, even if they're not. Sure, they're buying their clothes from a cheap ass store, but add a French accent to said store....
          Its all psychological.
      • Vindexus, on 03/04/2008, -1/+12NE VEUX PAS
      • Seth024, on 03/04/2008, -1/+7good joke with Targét, but you should have written très instead of trés !
    • UtahApocalyse, on 03/04/2008, -3/+154I dun like dem uropeen stors
      • ElliottChen, on 03/04/2008, -16/+0God I spent 2 minutes understanding your sentence. orz
        It's my fault to be so outdated?
      • alterImperson, on 03/04/2008, -7/+2Since when was Minnesota in Europe?
      • edwartica, on 03/04/2008, -2/+3I'm still trying to understand if "dun" means "don't" or "do."
    • pnmoore, on 03/04/2008, -3/+18She would wear her Easter clothes to Target!
      • edwartica, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1No, those are reserved for mud wrestling night.
    • blorguehad, on 03/04/2008, -0/+46It would've been even better if she had said, "The Wal-Mat"
    • gak001, on 03/04/2008, -5/+31Pronounced Tar-jay, of course.
      • dvicklund, on 03/04/2008, -0/+10Hahaha my dad pronounces it that way...
        • OisinT, on 03/04/2008, -0/+30your dad is the top of cool.
          • 1randomguy08, on 03/04/2008, -2/+10At the mental institute.
          • rootneg2, on 03/04/2008, -1/+10WOW, *my* dad says it that way too!

            he must have got it from your dad; man he's so funny, lol.
          • edwartica, on 03/04/2008, -5/+1Nah, he got it from my mom! (yeah, I just left myself open for a boatload of "your mom" jokes, didn't I?
        • 1randomguy08, on 03/04/2008, -8/+1Your dad sucks.
      • bagelmaster, on 03/04/2008, -9/+1I didn't do too great in french class, but I think it's more like "tar-zjay" with the z thing going on. ***** french...
        • gak001, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2Good call, I was trying to think of a better way to transliterate that without resorting to IPA.
    • cygnus2112, on 03/04/2008, -1/+20I get all my fancy Wal-Mart outfits at Dollar Palace.

      Foam hat? Check. Flip-flops? Check. Plastic leis? Check. Sunglasses? Check. White sock? Check.
      • dvicklund, on 03/04/2008, -0/+10Haha... White Sock.

        She can't afford two.
        • midbc, on 03/04/2008, -3/+2the other one is pink

          eeewwwwww thats gross
      • awm4, on 03/04/2008, -1/+4You forgot white jean shorts and NASCAR jacket
    • hammburglar, on 03/04/2008, -12/+14i work at target. the place is a ***** *****.
      • nonymous666, on 03/04/2008, -3/+32Shoulda paid attention in school.
        • diothar, on 03/04/2008, -2/+5haha! nice.
        • Pissoff, on 03/04/2008, -2/+2rofl
        • hammburglar, on 03/04/2008, -3/+5im 19, im still in college. and thats why im going. so i dont have to work there when i AM 30 like you think i am. its alright common misunderstanding.
        • computrius, on 03/06/2008, -0/+5Some people dont have mommy and daddy to pay for their college for them. Some people actually have to WORK for their money in order to pay their tuition. Some people work 40 hours a week or more, and go to school full time, and still don't have enough.

          The point? Just because someone is working in a place like target, or wendys, or mcdonalds, does not mean that they are retarted, and flunked out of school. Most likely they are still in school. Most of the people working in these places will probably make several thousand more per year in a few more years, than you will in your lifetime.
      • Vinny128128, on 03/04/2008, -1/+3If Target is a *****, Wal-Mart is the mouth of the rat that lives there.
        • hammburglar, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1this is true. but i was just saying working there blows. not a terrible place to shop.
    • rentmitchum, on 03/04/2008, -19/+2Target is Wal-Mart: Code Red. It's got what you crave. It's got targets. They're what you crave.
    • nonymous666, on 03/04/2008, -1/+15She thinks Target is by invitation only.
    • nikkesen, on 03/04/2008, -9/+2Wow, Wal*Mart is fancy? I guess someone forgot to mention that there are mice living in the Super Centres. No, I'm not kidding, and I can't verify this with the internet because my peepers do not deceive me. (This was at a Wal*Mart Super Centre in Toronto).
      • kitaro53085, on 03/04/2008, -0/+4I hate walmart as much as the next guy, but having worked in a grocery store myself, let me say that EVERY grocery store will have at least some mice. Besides, there are so many better reasons to insult Wal-Mart.
      • Vinny128128, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2I work at the best, cleanest pet store in the area (out of about a dozen within 20 miles or so) and let me tell you, mice take over. If you have a door, and there is any type of food product in your store, you have mice.

        Walmart mice just like to hang out on the sales floor :)
    • busybenj, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2My granddad used to call it Wal-Marts'
    • Gforce20, on 06/08/2008, -0/+1I'd be worried about this person getting mad at us for exposing her real name, but I doubt she knows how to use the Internet.
  • TannerPwnz, on 03/04/2008, -41/+19Oh wow, I wouldn't want to imagine the kind of attire required to shop at Target.
  • Sornos, on 03/04/2008, -12/+228Dugg for the description.
    • Poochyfud, on 03/04/2008, -3/+7The best line from Contact is "Hydrogen times Pi" or perhaps "the locals call it El Radar."
    • Knucklecallus, on 03/04/2008, -3/+5Dugg for the concept of rednecks. Gets me every time...
    • rootneg2, on 03/04/2008, -1/+5as someone using a vice-grip as a permanent shower handle, I take offense to that insinuation.
    • LCmidas, on 03/04/2008, -1/+5Hate to comment piggyback, but I remember this article. It's from Alexandria, Louisiana. Being unfortunately very familiar with that city, Lower Third St. is a very ghetto neighborhood. In all likelihood, Debra Jackson is a black female, not a redneck, and even if she is not black, she is still quite unlikely to be redneck.
  • hoffey, on 03/04/2008, -17/+67Dollar Palace > Wal-Mart
    • CCoe, on 03/04/2008, -0/+11No kidding. I hate having to wash my Sunday best.
    • Seidoger, on 03/04/2008, -0/+3Or maybe Walmart doesn't let her in anymore
    • po43292, on 03/04/2008, -0/+4They have a bouncer at the front checking for dress code.
  • Phatt138, on 03/04/2008, -7/+276Those people at Walmart are...dressed up? I guess 'shirt with sleeves' qualifies as casual-chic in her world.
    • Peko, on 03/04/2008, -0/+23Sir, I am curious where this "Haute Wal-Mart" is located, cuz we aints gots no fancy sleevey dress code where we comes from
    • BossKey, on 03/04/2008, -3/+19Shirt
      + Shoes
      = Service
    • feliks2, on 03/04/2008, -2/+6une flag americain sur votre tres chic chemise
      • feliks2, on 03/04/2008, -1/+13ah *****, this was supposed to be in reply to TannerPwnz, not Phat138
        mon francais was wasted
    • yacks, on 03/04/2008, -0/+5Maybe Dollar Palance allows her to shop nude.
    • cgrickard, on 03/04/2008, -4/+3WTF is w/you people? that's blatantly the joke of the article. why is this getting dugg?!
  • Eslamicolt3, on 03/04/2008, -34/+15I dunno about that. I knew this kid who once informed my friends and I that " I can't jump that high now but I use'ta could"
    • tas08, on 03/04/2008, -3/+15Now that I finally figured out what your comment says, I'm trying to figure out why you posted it, especially why you chose to start it with "I dunno about that" as it appears to relate to nothing anyone was talking about.
      • SuperCUBE, on 03/04/2008, -3/+2At least it relates to 'nothing' which can be considered 'something.'
      • bonds, on 03/04/2008, -2/+5I think it relates to the "most redneck phrase" portion of the submission description and the fact that he disagrees with said claim. Are you simple, or just trying to sound like an intellectual? Have you considered becoming an hero?
    • themuffinman, on 03/04/2008, -1/+13"I ain't as dumb as I useta was" is my personal favorite quote, much in the same vein.
  • mtg1287, on 03/04/2008, -4/+243Does anyone else want to know why this is even in the paper?
    • byrdgang, on 03/04/2008, -0/+30...the reporter wanted a good laugh?
    • pzwhite125, on 03/04/2008, -1/+65You have obviously never been in a small southern town. Go anywhere in North Georgia where the town's population is under about 600 and the word "colored" still flies, and I guarantee the local paper will be a barrel of laughs.
      • nuclearpenguins, on 03/04/2008, -0/+24The local police blotter is always amusing as well. Unless of course you're in it.
        • lyrica42, on 03/04/2008, -1/+5Yes, they print pictures of the accused in newspapers in Georgia.
      • bweltondav, on 03/04/2008, -1/+45I'm actually from a small north georgia town. I remember during middle school our english assignment was to go through the local newspaper and find as many grammar/spelling errors as possible.
        ...It was a literary massacre...
        • kjj254, on 03/04/2008, -0/+3But at least it was honest... unlike the glitzy pablum we are spoon fed now !!!
          • CiXeL, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1check out the miami herald. you will see a similar problem.
      • ben1sm4, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1That is disturbing on so many levels.......
        That probably wasn't the first year that assignment was handed out either.
      • str1fe, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1As a Georgian, I can say that south Georgia might be worse.
        • shakajumbo, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2No south Georgia is defiantly gooder English
        • Fracture98, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2I'm torn between thinking "defiantly" is brilliant humour or crappy spelling.
      • Vinny128128, on 03/04/2008, -0/+4You're a journalist, interviewing locals on the new developments in your town. Someone says the above quote.

        You would just throw that away?
    • DickyT83, on 03/04/2008, -0/+3Wal-mart is huge back where I was from in Johnstown, PA. We didn't get a super wal-mart in town there until about 2 years ago, and the ***** rednecks camped out for days waiting for that ***** to open. The most ridiculous thing I've seen in my life.
    • dan1101, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1That just sounds like an article about a local business.

      Our local paper has a "Socials" column that discusses what a particular group of old ladies did that week, like going shopping to the outlet center or something...

    • rjam710, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1For the lulz.
  • gcacho, on 03/04/2008, -3/+316I think dressing up means wearing a clean wife beater.
    • makkaveli19, on 03/04/2008, -34/+14yea instead of the one covered with placenta particles from her recent baby
      • BigBallistix, on 03/04/2008, -1/+52...
      • pharekyz, on 03/04/2008, -0/+46WTF?
      • tas08, on 03/04/2008, -13/+3the hell is wrong with you. You sir are a douche.
        • makkaveli19, on 03/04/2008, -1/+31i think i'm more of a ***** than a douche. hence my non-popped collar.
          • Xchus, on 03/04/2008, -2/+0but does it have stripes? vertical or horizontal? either way you are a douche...
      • Hoogs, on 03/04/2008, -0/+3Thanks, I'm eating breakfast.
    • inigomntoya, on 03/04/2008, -1/+23Or at least the "cleaner" wife beater...
    • DemDude, on 03/04/2008, -0/+6...or pants.
    • qwertycopter, on 03/04/2008, -5/+4Walmart's great for wife beaters. (Ucha ucha ucha ucha)
  • UnterDenLinden, on 03/04/2008, -13/+29Wait, you guys don't wear white-tie to pick up those Blue Light Specials?
    • pheedback, on 03/04/2008, -2/+65Did you mistake K-Mart for Wal-Mart again? Silly hillbilly your sister isn't supposed to be your wife.
      • UnterDenLinden, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2Well I'm sorry ya'll, I just can't tell the durn difrence sumtimes.
    • TheGreatBelow, on 03/04/2008, -22/+1Blue Light is K-Mart you ***** retard. I wish death upon your FAMILY, BITCH!
  • 89vision, on 03/04/2008, -5/+61I bet she has Christmas dinner at Denny's with the Bundys
    • asurroca, on 03/04/2008, -1/+23Denny's is way too ritzy. Try Waffle House.
      • drlha, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1You know you're a redneck geek when you know how to order Waffle House meals using only condiment packets.
    • lindasue, on 03/04/2008, -0/+21I once had Christmas dinner at IHOP. It's a long, sad story. :(
      • flxfxp, on 03/04/2008, -0/+18Cmon, we all got the time. Spill it.
      • Xchus, on 03/04/2008, -1/+1were you stoned? if you were, that is acceptable...
      • TokenWhiteGuy, on 03/04/2008, -0/+6Try being at a bachelor party hosted by IHOP. And have Hooters right across the street. :(
    • bbqsalad, on 03/04/2008, -0/+3no ma'am
    • bonds, on 03/04/2008, -4/+4The Bundy's can't afford to eat at Denny's, have you ever even seen Married With Children? A family that regularly consumes "toaster leavins" as a meal does not frequent Denny's.
      • 89vision, on 03/04/2008, -1/+24The Bundy's go to Denny's every Christmas for dinner, dont ***** with me on Married with Children trivia.
    • themanflounders, on 03/04/2008, -12/+4Yes, poor people are hilarious. You people are disgusting.
    • NeonFire, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1Dugg for the Married... With Children reference.
  • borez, on 03/04/2008, -14/+6Suggested shopping wear:

    http://www.bestinthecountry.co.uk/acatalog/CFRBS.j ...
  • Neme5ii5, on 03/04/2008, -26/+8Don't know about Dollar Palace, but Dollar General's should be burnt to the ground. If I walk into a store with the word "dollar" in the name and see numbers like 2's and 3's, I place a dollar where I found the item and steal it. You cheated me, I cheated you.
    • taffyhealscrowd, on 03/04/2008, -0/+21That'll show them.
    • JavertHolmes, on 03/04/2008, -2/+13In that case, you also don't ask for refunds on broken products you've purchased at Best Buy since "Buy back" is not in their company name? You should enter the Target store sometime, as they sell more than just pieces of paper to shoot arrows/guns at.
    • b1kerguy, on 03/04/2008, -1/+22thats funny, because when i see a dollar on the shelf, i take it
    • Neme5ii5, on 03/04/2008, -1/+1I'm sorry, but they just give me false hope every time. I see Dollar "General" and I think "This company is the superior to other dollar stores. Then I walk in, and damnit they got me again. Maybe this lady is right, the Palace is the place to be.
  • RocketSeason, on 03/04/2008, -3/+160You gotta match slippers when shopping at Wal-Mart
  • Yardboss2, on 03/04/2008, -30/+6I refuse to shop at Wal Mart because of the way they treat their employees and also because to shop there I have to put on shoes.
    • bullsfan03, on 03/04/2008, -2/+19good story.
    • DarthSupero, on 03/04/2008, -1/+14Having worked at Wal-Mart, I must say that they don't treat the employees that badly. I made $10/hour and was really not expected to do any actual work.
  • greeniemeani, on 03/04/2008, -18/+3If she gets dressed up for Walmart, I wonder what she would wear to Trader Joes!
    • diggit23, on 03/04/2008, -0/+4a tuxedo shirt
    • Euler2718, on 03/04/2008, -0/+26I'm going to go out on a limb here and say they probably don't have a Trader Joes where she lives
      • lindasue, on 03/04/2008, -1/+6They don't.
        • MicronXD, on 03/04/2008, -0/+5But they DO have a guy named Joe who'll trade em 1/4 ton of beef for a rusted out camaro engine
  • felman87, on 03/04/2008, -4/+7guess a shirt, shorts and footwear is just too fancy for her.
    • psykiv, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1Not even, one time at walmart I saw some chick wearing a one-piece. Thats it. No shoes or anything. Pure trash.
  • NCSUspoon, on 03/04/2008, -11/+228Im drunk right now and I still said "wow"

        • floridiot2, on 03/04/2008, -1/+12this is what the 'case' of the mondays is all about.
    • bluedostoevsky, on 03/04/2008, -0/+62keep on livin the dream man. there's nothing like getting drunk on your own and bumming around on digg.
    • badgermagics, on 03/04/2008, -1/+27I thought posting under the influence (PUI) was illegal here,
      • hilo4321, on 03/04/2008, -2/+2if you pronounce that like you would a DUI it sounds like pooey
        • Jesusridesabike, on 03/04/2008, -2/+1What kinda ***** up accent do you need to have to say that?
    • kutateli, on 03/04/2008, -1/+33Teach me to be cool like you.
      • homerang, on 03/04/2008, -0/+18Sip drink. Repeat.
        • Memitim, on 03/04/2008, -2/+1Forget it. If he couldn't figure it out on his own he'll just end up tripping over the glass when he brings it to his lips.
    • musicnoteless, on 03/04/2008, -1/+9That's what she said.
    • DemDude, on 03/04/2008, -1/+8...then again, I say "wow" all the time when I'm drunk ^^
      Wow, a Submit Button!
    • branton87, on 03/04/2008, -2/+2I would hope it was moonshine or "Natural Light." It just isn't redneck with anything else.
      • hilo4321, on 03/04/2008, -2/+1you kiddin me? there are far more redneck beers than natural
    • Hodgie, on 03/04/2008, -5/+1That was the most retarded string of replies I have read in a long time...

    Local store finds success and major competition
    By Robert Morgan

    Kenneth Williams opened a store on Lower Third Street in Alexandria when no one else was looking to do business in the area.

    Now he's looking at direct competition as a national discount chain is building a store right across the street from where he opened his new Dollar Palace at 2500 Third St.

    Williams said he's been doing his homework, preparing for that competition from the new Family Dollar store that will open later this year.

    Family Dollar, headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., has 5,600 stores in 44 states, according to its Web site.

    Florence Stanley, spokeswoman for Family Dollar, said, "It looks like we're targeting a late summer opening, probably August."

    The store will be of average size, a total of 9,100 square feet with 7,700 square feet of sales area, Stanley said.

    Family Dollar has three other stores in Alexandria and one in Pineville.

    The size of the corporation he'll be competing against has not escaped Williams, who said, "They are a multi-billion-dollar company. We (Williams and his wife) are just two little people here."

    But standing this week in the store he built from a former auto parts business, he said, "I am cautiously optimistic. A lot of our customers have said they will not shop (at Family Dollar)."

    He said there is a sense of community loyalty because Williams chose to invest in a business on Lower Third at a time when major companies would not.

    In a letter to The Town Talk published Monday, Iradean Dupar-Gatson suggested the new business smacked of unfair competition because it will be part of a national chain.

    While some members of the community agreed that it hardly seems fair that a national chain would open a store across the street after Williams took risks to get his business started, those interviewed by The Town Talk said they probably will shop at both stores.

    "Well, I was talking to Kenneth, the owner, about it the other day. He said (Family Dollar) looked at it two years ago and decided not to open a store because they didn't think it was safe. I guess they feel like it's all right now," Malcolm LeFears of Alexandria said.

    LeFears, who said he shops at the Dollar Palace almost daily, said, "I don't think it's fair. They wouldn't take the chance he did."

    But he said, "I'll probably shop at both of them. I know (Family Dollar) has more clothes than he does."

    Viola Coutee of Alexandria said she shops at the Dollar Palace "quite often" and likes the store.

    Coutee said the new Family Dollar store will be competition for the Dollar Palace.

    "I hope it doesn't bring them down," she said.

    She said, however, she already shops at other Family Dollar stores in Alexandria and will probably shop at both Williams' business and the new store when it opens.

    "I just think it's wrong. It's hurting the little man," Edward Jackson of Alexandria said.

    But, like the others, Jackson said, "I'll shop both of them."

    Debra Jackson of Alexandria said she sees nothing unfair about the new store locating on Lower Third Street.

    Debra Jackson said she likes shopping at the Dollar Palace because it is convenient and casual.

    "I don't have to get all dressed up like I'm going to Wal-Mart or something," she said, adding she shops at Williams' store "to pick up my cleaning supplies."

    She said, "I'll shop at both of them, whatever's convenient for me. I'm not going to pick and choose between them."

    Stanley said her company surveyed the community before deciding to build a new store.

    "We found the consumers there that are looking for quality products at low prices, (such as) the merchandise we carry," she said.

    Williams said his shelves are stocked with many items that are requested by customers.

    "We carry a lot of items that are geared to the community," he said. "They're not going to do that."

    Still, he said, Family Dollar stores that are already in Alexandria carry some items at lower prices than his store does.

    "We are lower on some items than they are. And we carry items they won't carry," Williams said.

    GRAPHIC: Kenneth Williams is cautiously optimistic his store, Dollar Palace on Lower Third Street, will continue to do well after Family Dollar opens a new store right across the street.

          His movies and tv shows have been lame, but Larry was funny when he just did radio and stand up. He used to do his commentary every day on WJRR which were usually good.

    • hilo4321, on 03/04/2008, -1/+2your comment is rather contradictory, you are essentially saying that "larry the idiot guy" and "foxworthless" are the only two places to hear funny redneck jokes...not that i am endorsing either of them

      Why? Cause Target has jumped the Shark just like Kmart did a few years ago. YOU ARE A ***** RETAIL STORE THAT SELLS CRAP MADE IN CHINA nothing more. Charging $100 for a crappy wicker basket, the same wicker basket I can buy at walmart for $25 will not make you more profitable. It will piss off intelligent shoppers like myself and send us away with our wallets unopened.
      Oh and Target is gay, just thought I'd throw that in.
