All I wanted was a pair of C's. Two. That's it. The batteries in a portable radio died.
There were a few other things I needed, so I headed to WalMart. It had tons of choices. All bad. It came down to four Duracells for $6 or six Rayovacs for the same $6. It's a portable radio, not a pacemaker, so I wanted cheap. I bought the Rayovacs.
I shopped in America's largest retailer, and there wasn't a two-pack of batteries in the entire store.
At least I helped the economy of Madison, WI by buying four batteries I didn't need... and I have my portable radio back.
