Wal-mart scrood the pooch

Went to wally world yesterday to buy some tupperware upgrades (Benny, Betty and Sesha need more room) and snagged the last 3 huge clear sterilite containers and lids. Sure they were on the top shelf and NO I didn't ask for assistance because I enjoy creating massive landslides of plastic goods - enjoy those inspector Closeau moments of self-humiliation.

But when I went to snag another 9.99 heating pad i discovered to my horror that THEY NOW HAVE AUTO-SHUTOFF!!

This is one "free product enhancement" we could REALLY do without!

If anyone else notices this - or that your neighborhood wally-world still has the old ones we hold so dear SNAG THEM AND STOCK UP.

Thanks for the tip, Agent Smulkin! :shock: :frustrated:

dooooh! i'm going to walmart tonight! thanks for the update. damn technology sometimes!

I bet you can also burn my house down with it too. :roll:

Well if you have any clue what you are doing that will not happen. Do you think a human heating pad is ment to be used under a reptile encloursure? UM how about a big ol bag of NO!

Darn, now all thats left is K Mart. And possibly some abscure drug stores. But I could learn how to use flew wat some time.

I used heating pads when I first started and hated them because the on I had developed intense hot spots...

I've had to revert to the (semi)local Target - they still have the no-auto-shutoff round here.

Walgreen has some that you have the option if it turning off after 2 hours, or it being on all the time. The human heatpad didn't really provide enough heat for my bp though, so I don't use it. Also, that heatpad was a little on the expensive side.
