  • Stupid day is today! (long)

    So, yeah. I leave work, head to the town that's closest to home's Wal-Mart "H".

    I am the SC in this story, and I am unashamed.

    I remember the milk, check the electronics for a DS, and see none. I figured if I asked a clerk, they could tell me what day they get shipments, and I could find it myself through that day... but no clerks anywhere.

    So, I hit the little bell on the counter..... ........ ....... =/

    Nothing for 15min., so I walk off, pay for milk, and ask the cashier about the date. She replies,"Oh, the electronics guys are all having a going away party in housewares, go ask them." Mmmmm... >_< Just go home, put away milk.

    ..gah, I forgot the cat food, which is only in next town over's Wal-Mart "O".

    So I drive there, on the way almost run over a rampant kid, which does nothing good for me.

    In Wal-Mart O, I go straight to electronics, and find.......... all but one playing Guitar Hero. I go to the clerk on the desk.
    Me: Excuse me, ma'am?
    Her: ........*stapling a single piece of paper fo some reason*
    Me: Ma'am.
    Her: OH HEY GUY

    Random guy walks up, not a co-worker, and apparently a friend. I am ignored and angry. So, I do what I usually do in these situations.

    I hissed at her.

    She looked at me with confusion, and said,"What do you want?"
    Me: To get waited on, perhaps?"
    Her: Hmm, so Guy--
    Me: Oh hell no. I just want a one word answer, then you can go to pretend working.
    Her/Guy: OH MAH GAWD!
    Me: When does the sipment usually come in?
    Her: Well. When it comes in.
    Me:...
    She and Guy laugh.
    Me: Thanks ahh, "Marge." I'll let your manager know about your bang-up job here.

    And I go get my catfood. 20lb bag, toting it one armed. Not in the least wobbly.

    Go to the quick check-outs, this guy in front of me has the same cat food, and lots of other items (20+ you twit! COUNT!). He looks at me long enough to make me uncomfy, and I give him a (see icon) face.

    He starts patting the corner of the counter like a rabid dog, saying," Here here here, set it down here that's much too heavy for you, here here here, put it down come on." I say,"No thanks... no ... I'm fine... no.. mm... SHUT UP!"

    So he stops, the cashier kindof laughs.

    He leaves, cashier lady rings me up, tells me price, I swipe card.

    Her: Some damn people. Stupid fags.
    Me: >_< What?
    Her: He's obviously a fag. They take too long.

    Now, in this area of TN, its half n half of people who talk as such or are polite. I chose to join her side at the moment.

    Me: What the hell, woman.
    Her: What?
    Me: You are a shallow, unending pool of moron. I wish a piece of bread would land in you, and soak you up to throw a few I.Q. points your way.

    I took my cat food and left.

    I know I didn't handle everything the best way, and I left out a lot of things that happened in between those spots. Aggravation from work doesn't help, but I really get sick of it everywhere else.

    I am with you on that. I am sick of shopping at Big Box Marts. I just want that one mom and pop shop to open up again.

      Big Box stores make it possible for people to work who Mom & Pop stores would fire.

          That has not too much to do with what I meant.

          Giant chains are mostly corporate ho's. What does corporate care about individual sales or customer appreciation outside of keeping from being sued?

          Mom n Pop won't hire someome they think will end up being rude to their customers, or someone who will wander off in the middle of their shift to play a game on a machine.

          Mom n Pop places usually provide better service, maybe a bit higher priced, but with a comfortable setting where you're not just paying for the name, as well.

          Its not like if you're not high up in the chain, that most people can succeed with a Wal-Mart salary. Mom n Pop are better paying with their hours, anyway.
