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. πŸ™„ 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.

One thing I would never do would be disrespectful to service people, you give your time up for our convenience.

I just try not to be discudious to anybody as long as they're being a decent person to me. It doesn't matter if they're service people or not.

It never ceases to amaze me the crap that people leave behind for the cleaners to deal with when I go to the office.

office workers in general, even not government office workers, are mostly jerks... ALL are jerks in government offices though, i mean, it's like it's a criteria for employment as a "public servant" to be an abusive shit

exactly, if they don't know you, and see you are a functionary, and act like a princess, they are on the shitlist thereafter

every opportunity to shame them is a nugget of GFY in highly concentrated form

Yes. I enjoy smiling at people who are trying to be nasty. It confuses or infuriates them. Both are wins. 😁

Reminds me you're not one of the people I should hate myself for hurting

hair flip lol

btw, in our country I don't even take recipet unless there's a warranty for goods I buy

haha, always good to laught at poncing, preening princesses

you may have noticed i like to do this on nostr too

is it true no one really has to show their receipt? I do it out of politeness but I think I can legally just walk by

Love that haha. I feel like you and I get deeper insight into people as I do some doordashing on the side. I see some interesting things

I used to deliver Chinese food literally decades ago. I never want to do deliveries again. That was stressful and by annoying.

Don’t blame you brother.
