Hey, while you're there just don't take your watch off in the bathroom...

Or do and let me know which Wal-Mart you are going to!

When someone is swinging a baseball bat, aiming for your skull,
restroom becomes a pretty low priority... Where is this thread going?

You dont have to run or wear a motorcycle helmet I would expect thousands of people shop in Walmart everyday without any problems whatsoever.Same for all the other supermarkets world wide, supermarkets are far safer in general than crossing a busy road.

I was most shocked to read that there was a McDonald's inside Walmart. Walmart is a supermarket, right? Where you can buy burgers to munch while you shop?

A hit on the head will not hurt your Rolex, at all.

If you find those inexpensive eyeglass repair kits, they usually have a screwdriver that will do the job. It may not be a perfect fit but shouldn't cause any damage to the screw head.

Yeah I have used the screwdrivers in the eyeglass repair kits to size my watches... Does a perfect job.

You always want to make sure the screwdriver is not too small, because if it is, it will fit, but if the screw is tight and requires some pressure to unscrew it, a smaller screwdriver my bend the "slit" you are inserting it into.
