BARTON: GOURMET WIGHTMAN'S PEEVE WITH WALMART 5-CENT PAPER BAG FEE AIN'T WORTH TWO CANS OF BEANS

(Ed.'s Note: At the risk of incurring the wrath of our resident legal beagle, and disbarred attorney,  Robert Wightman, we venture into the fray between him and blogger Jim Barton over a nickel Walmart bag. Such is the stuff of cyber spats here. We all need a laugh now and then. Here's the give and take between bean-muncher Wightman and the Brownsville Observer blogger.)

SUPER SLEUTH WIGHTMAN DIGS THROUGH TRASH FOR EVIDENCE; CAN HE CONNECT THE DOTS?
By Jim Barton
Brownsville Observer Blog
On July 31, 2018 Robert Wightman-Cervantes walked into the Walmart at 2721 Boca Chica Boulevard, Brownsville, Texas to buy what Granny Clampett used to refer to as "vittles."

On that fateful day, with an afternoon temperature in Brownsville reaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the wind from the SE at 10 MPH, Wightman purchased two cans of ranch beans, one bag of popable pop corn and a white onion for a total tab of $5.44, including 8.25% to the City of Brownsville and a "bag tax" of 5 cents.

After a week of of pontificating about the 5 cent charge, calling me "a liar" for saying Walmart didn't charge for plastic bags, Bobby amended his story to say that Walmart Assistant Manager Jaime Sanchez had informed him that the charge was for "requesting a paper bag."

Whatever, Bobby!

No Brownsville blogger has more consistently promoted Bobby's skill set as a paralegal or research assistant. The guy finds the damn dots. He just can't connect them logically.

Now, Bobby, without even bothering Walmart corporate, has found the "evidence" in his kitchen trash, a receipt showing indeed that he paid a 5 cent "bag tax," an unfortunate Walmart phrase, likely part of the rationale for the State of Texas overturning the Brownsville plastic bag "ban."


OK, Bobby. This back-and-forth is tiring and I'm a patient guy, recently teaching my grandson cursive and the multiplication and division tables. This summer we've focused on reading comprehension and public speaking.

That's easy work compared to trying to talk logic with a hard-headed disbarred lawyer.

Only children enter into such petty squabbles. We don't care, we don't give a shit and these guys have over inflated egos.

Por cada bolsa de papel que walmart te vende.... pagas los .05 centavos.
cual es el problema? te la estan vendiendo, muchas tiendas lo hacen.
el dollar tree te la vende a .10 centavos.
deberias lanzarte para comisionado, o para mayor, o para ser parte del comite del bisd, o para secretario del partido democrata, o algo asi.... entra a el sistema y corrigelo. no escribas tanto y entra en accion en la comunidad.

Bobby, sue the hell out of Juan. He published your receipt with your credit card number on it. Where did he get this copy from?

Juan could have only got the receipt for Booby WC.

First moron, the receipt does not have my credit card number. It has just the last four digits which is worthless. An I posted the receipt.

And for the record for the trolls I do not eat Ranch Style beans but my guests ask for it when we do a cook out. I eat homemade Nicaraguan beans with no fat, tons of garlic, high in protein, fiber and iron. It is called eating healthy.
