*thanks to Irv for the wonderful description that I err..stole from him*
So, it's payday. That means, big grocery shopping morning at Wal-Mart. Well, not major or mondo, because I live alone, I just tend to attempt to get everything I will need for 2 weeks in one trip.
This morning, I encountered a horrible mother with one of the most annoying children I've ever had to be around, and a really sucky employee who obviously has no BTM filter when it comes to watching her mouth around customers.
I was in the cosmetics aisle (I am of course, a poor working class person, I do have really nice makeup I get from gift cards and holiday money, but for when I go to work, I just buy the cheap crap) looking for the closest makeup shade to my skin I can find (with the awful lighting being of no help) and I hear it.
"YAR!" "AGGH!" "AHHHH!" "EEHHHH!"
Each terse little phrase being yelled progressively louder.
Then a very quiet "Shhhh, hunny, no no."
"YEEH! "AAAAH!" "AAAAHHHHHHHH!" "AHHHHHHH!" louder and louder yet.
"Shhh, hunny, be quiet please."
"AAAH!" "AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
And still oh so quietly, "Hunny, please stop that."
It was so bad, I had to force myself to not scream "Shut your damn kid up or get out of here!", I mean, this kid was so loud, it was bad. He wasn't screaming in pain or discomfort. He just loved the sound of his own voice. And got louder and louder and louder. And mommy dearest thought that gently asking him would make him be quiet or something.
How do I know it was a he? I saw him again, multiple times as I went throughout the store, him continuing to go "AAAAHH!" or "EHHHH!" as loud as possible, and his idiot mother who did nothing to try and shut him up.
Then I was in the meat section, pricing out chicken.
All of a sudden I heard this pretty loud "Oh, are you FUCKING SERIOUS?!" and I see a Wal-Mart employee stomping over to the beef section (about 10 feet away from me) and for whatever reason, she started slamming around all the different kinds of beef. I don't know, maybe ground chuck was mixed in with the lower fat chuck. I'm not sure what her problem was.
And I know, I know, I KNOW, that customers not putting stuff back in the right place is annoying. I know, I've been there and done that. What I cannot fathom is how this woman had the balls to scream that and start making such a spectacle in front of customers. The store wasn't packed the way it is later in the day or on the weekends, but I swear, half of the night shift from my work was there doing their shopping, all the vendors were there with sodas and candies......there was no reason for that. None.
