John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Is Walmart Empowering?

I am at Walmart right now to buy an assortment of toiletries.

But on my way to the “Personal Care” aisle, I passed the “Automotive” section.

And I looked at the rows of sturdy tires and wanted to buy one–just a single tire at 12:41am.

Why? Because I could.

Maybe that is empowering.

But I have a feeling it’s just a really bad idea that sleepy people get when not expecting to see tires for sale when shopping past their bedtime.
