I am sick of Seeing Coal Miners wearing their work clothes to Stores

I went this morning to wal-mart,as stated in another thread,I went to the one on the 4 lane and it was clean,no one there-not buzy at all,buggies all wiped down, I think you should go out bathed and clean but it is not always possible.But I would say if you have a real problem with it then try to go early in the morning, it's not bad at all.

I have 2 issues to air out. If you want to impress women go and buy you some decent clothes and take a damn shower before going to Wal- Marts. One more thing if you have to put a crawling coal miner sticker on your truck you are a shitty coal miner. You don't need a sticker to be a real coal miner.

My father was a coalminer for many years and when I was a child I was embarassed of my father and the way he dressed. But now that I am an adult I realize how wrong I was. He almost died in a mining accident when I was a baby. But he had the strength to go back in those mines every day hardly every missing a day. He watched some of his coworkers be buried alive and crushed by cave ins.But he worked hard so that our family could have insurance, food,nice clothes and a home. Now that I am older I can appreciate the pride that he had for his job and his ability to do the kind hard work that everybody else thinks they are too good to do.
You must be the biggest piece of Shit in Beckly! To Care so much what MEN wear you must be gay and thats probably why you are worried that a coalminer might pick up a woman @walmart.

People want to talk abou the miners or mechanics being nasty. What about all the little kids that pick their nose and wipe it on the cart. Stick their gum where you put your hands but dont realize it until you grab it. That dirt, could have been from the plants. Maybe somebody got some mulch and it ripped on the buggy and left residue.

No matter what job people have, somebody is going to be talked about. I worked at a mining supply store, in the office and I still got dirty. I had to go out to the warehouse to get papers signed, see if the parts got picked up, etc. I knew it when I got dressed that morning. I worked at a convenience store and I got dirty. I got dirty from handling all the money. Now talk about nasty, that was it. Waiting on people who were stinky, runny noses, puke on them, but I still done it. A coal miner was nothing compared to some customers.

People going into the restroom, crapping all over the seat, peeing in the floor, throwing up and not flushing. Kids coming into the store and being sick, throwing up infront of everybody. Kids screaming for candy, a pop, a bag of chips.

COAL MINERS WERE NOTHING. Always a friendly hello or joking. Most of the miners were regulars and they would always joke with me because I had their snuff or cigs, sometimes both, already out and waiting on them when I saw them pull up. It could be worse. It could be each and every one of us going underground. Im grateful to my coal miner. Even my stepdaddy was a miner, as was a few of his brothers.

So a little bit of coal dirt, never hurt anyone. Except for the men (and a few women I knew)working in it.

I'm tired of standing in line with my work clothes on and watching dead beats pay with food stamps. Get a job you worthless pieces of crap and quit complaining about the working man.

I can not believe how hateful people are anymore. You're jumping this woman because she worked hard to buy a nice jacket and it was ruined by someones inconsideration? What a hard heart you have. Well let me tell you Karma's a bitch and it will come around.

well she should've looked before she grabbed the buggy, walmart has more than one buggy. & why should they be considerate when stupid people like you are complaining about them coming from work to go to walmart! if she worked hard to get it then she should've brought a change of clothes or left it in the car. it's not everyone elses fault that she was too stupid to look at the buggy!

At least coal miners and mechanics work hard! So what if they go into a store dirty? Goes to show that there are a few men left that work.

early in the morning is the time to go

Not all kids pick their noses and wipe it on stuff in a store,but seems you have alot of experience on the subject so is this what you are teaching your children?
my children touch nothing when we go in the store and upon leaving if they have touched the buggy I make them sanitize their hands,so guess you assumptions are wrong.

No my kids dont do this. It was only an observation. So your kids dont touch anything....no toys, no clothes, nothing?

no I am the adult I pick up and touch what needs to be put in the buggy or looked at,the only thing they touch is the buggy or sometimes I let them help put my groceries or items I'm going to purchase up at the register.
but then again thats whats wrong parents let their children walk around and touch everything and then get on here and complain about other kids doing it when their own children do it.
keep an eye on your children and teach them to only touch their own belongings.

bet this woman has kids from hell - but do no wrong if you get my drift. Thinks everything they do is funny no matter how horrible or destructive. Until they get around sixteen and knock her down. Live and learn. Some women think their children should be forgiven and overlooked no matter how awful their behavior. Wrong answer!

excuse me retard my children don't go around touching other people's belongings and definitely not while I'm there watching.
its okay to be jealous of a parent that has taught their child to respect others belongings,I would hate to see what your children act like!
I never once stated they do no wrong,I stated that I make sure to watch my kids and not let them handle things at a store,so learn how to read and comprehend before spewing your ignorance.

its okay be jealous that I have the kind of kids you wish you had instead of trouble making little brats that run around in the store with snotty noses touching the food we eat.
if you would raise your child to have respect they would not be like that.
now instead of being on a computer all day try and teach your brats some manners.

sounds like to me that she has taught her kids manners and that some people bash others because their children have the complete opposite.
I read some of her post and never once did she say her kids do no wrong all that I seen is where she stated she does not allow her children to pick up or handle items in a store,of which all parents should be like that.
who wants to go and buy their child a toy that another child could have done had in their mouth and slobbered on?
with all of the viruses going on we need more parents like mother to help stop the spreading of germs.

I think Walmart carts are discusting. I always carry anti-bacterial wipes and drown the cart before I let my son touch it! As for behavior I taught my son to wipe his hands and mouth with either a wipe or a tissue and not to use clothing/etc. It is not that hard...and my son has Aspergers disorder and is very difficult sometimes.

I agree with you,sometimes its hard to teach children but its something as parents we need to do.
I was in Wal-Mart yesterday back in the toy dept. and actually seen a child blowing on a recorder (musical instrument) and put it back on the shelf to be sold to someone else,now some people think this is okay,but I for one do not.
what if I had purchased that toy for my child and he had became sick,not that I wouldn't wash something like that first,but how many parents wouldn't think to?
as you can see I never said my children were saints,but as long as I'm around they will NOT act like that no matter who likes it and who don't.
several posters have responded back like what I'm doing is bad,but I know my children will not cause anyone else to get sick if they are by touching on things that don't belong to them.

1st. Some miners have to stop by walmart on their way home to get baby food or something. Not all stop to impress women.
2nd. Why does the stickers bother you so bad. Maybe they are proud that they are supporting their families without the gov. Whats wrong with having a sticker on their vehicle they paid for it not you.

It also shows their pride in taking part in destroying every single mountain in WV....they want to make the whole state flat as a board.

Coal Mining is a way of life in WV. Always has been.. There is pollution and damage to the earth/environment in lots of jobs. I could go into details for arguments sake but I don't think it is necessary. This is only a big deal because of the current world situation. I hate to see the beauty of WV destroyed in any way but I think it would be much worse to have all of our miners and their families homeless and hungry because of the whiners around here. 4332

I would think it would be a shame to destroy an entire state's environemnt..you think WV is impoverished now, just wait till the coal is all gone and the state is leveled..what then?
