Meanwhile... at Walmart...
I'm on my lunch break. I'm finishing up my second full week of working at Walmart. It's been rather interesting, but nothing too crazy has happened. Thankfully.
I will mention that yesterday I was given my first very vehement FU. My job is to stand at the door, greet people, and also check receipts for people who have unbagged merchandise. Quite frankly, it's not a glorious job. Most people are fine, but you get those that are so offended that I could ask them for receipt because it obviously means that I'm implying that they're stealing things. 🙄 Others are offended that they just went through a regular checkout and have to show a receipt to another human being before they walk out the store. (I'm rather sympathetic to these people, but I simply don't know any better because I'm not the one at the registers watching every person walk through. LOL!) So anyway, this one young lady came up to the line that was forming for my coworker and I to check receipts and she was obviously in a hurry and went to the side to try to get around and I politely asked if I could see her receipt to which she gave the very vocal FU and walked away, rather quickly. I actually laughed out loud because it amused me so much. And that actually seemed to offend her. So not only did I get the FU, I got the dramatic mean girl hair flip as she was walking off. That made my night.
I'm sure that I will have many incidences of that in the future, but for now, that's been the top story so far. I have heard quite a lot of stories from my co-workers, though, so it is inevitable that I'll have juicier things to share in the future.
