Amazing What You Find When You Look

I read through a lot of comments and found a little more faith in humanity.  I also found a nut job or two, but that is to be expected.  I don't go to Walmart anymore unless I am in dire straights, or need a specific item.  , Having shaken the dust of Walmart off my shoes,the last thing that I want to do is help them out much.  I will say a few things about some of the comments I received.
I had a CSM complain because she didn't like my observations about standing in line for ten minutes to buy a package of hotdog buns.  I would respond by telling her that Dee, a CSM in a local Walmart, can't decide between bratwurst and burgers.  She knows that everyone likes burgers, but she is sick of them.  Why do I know this?  Because Dee didn't want to move the customers out of the store until after she finished her moving recital of what was on the menu. I like to cook as much as the next person, but why do I always find the dinner conversations?
Another case in point was brought to my attention.  There is a new member of management whose sole talent for the job seems to be lasting over fifteen years.  I got three emails about her, then when I went in to see (and purchase the aforementioned hot dog buns) she was standing there watching three other people work.  Some things never change.
If you need paint mixed after six o'clock, wait until the next day.  I had to walk the associate through the process, then explain to them how to cut a key.  If you are waiting on a member of management, that will be a big chunk of your life that you will never see again.  I mean it.
I appreciate all the funny things that were said about the anti walmart sites, also. Doug: I agree with you one hundred percent about the I.Q. range. You are a clever man.
I am still unpacking, and still hoping to be moving forward.  Hope you all had a great day, and thank you all for the comments and encouragement. If I made even one of you laugh, you can thank me later.
