Overview
“I’m sorry but I’m going to take a minute and be that person um I think Walmart should spend a little bit of money and have their parking lot cleaned up better you got elderly trying to get inside to get their medications or even groceries it doesn’t matter what the reason they’re there for but they’re trying to get inside and slipping and sliding on sheets of ice yes I get it we had snow and ice but clean please parking lots better and maybe you wouldn’t have an elderly person outside falling all because they can’t get to the door from their handicap parking spot. It’s not even the elderly having trouble you have handicapped people that can’t be pushed in their wheelchairs through this s*** to get inside. You got mothers out here trying to get inside possibly for diapers formula milk whatever the need may be carrying babies slipping and sliding. Also I found out yesterday that the two boys who were shoveling the ice in front of Walmart on the sidewalk did that out of the kindness of their hearts. When I mentioned they should be paid extra they said we ain’t even being paid for it and I was like wow so they really need to know how much us customers appreciated them yesterday and they deserve at least employee of the month if they ain’t going to pay them extra. Thank you to you two Young gentlemen that put people before money yesterday. You didn’t go unnoticed!!! I hope you two Young men see my post.”
So What's the Beef?
“Wait hold up a minute.. I never respond on this page .. however… saying this is an ignorant post is uncalled for . This person has a right to complain. Walmart is a billion dollar company . I also know how salt and ice work . Two different topics . Concern for her safety ( and it’s an Hugh issue in this weather) and her need to be safe getting meds … verses you telling her she should have been better prepared?! Stop making excuses for Walmart . Maybe they should have prepared better for the weather conditions . Rant over .”

D.O.R.A. (as officially defined by the State of Ohio) would allow alcoholic beverages, in approved containers, to be openly carried from Vine Street to Pine Street, and First Avenue to Third Avenue. This would be in compliance with Section 4301.82 of the Ohio Revised Code.
So What's the Beef?
Citizens are complaining about D.O.R.A. and that it will allow drunks to walk around the city. In addition to that, the group against D.O.R.A. has now jumped on the bandwagon of saying that the mandatory D.O.R.A. cups will contribute to an uncontrollable amount of litter in their community.
