Funny thing happened to me at Wal*Mart...

[crashwg]

Was shopping for a couple things, mostly lunch type stuff.  We pulled into aisle 6 which is where the macaroni and cheese type stuff is and Lee-Ann (my GF) was looking for the walmart brand of easy mac.  She can't find it anywhere...    By now I'm getting bored, so I put my hand on the pole in the middle of the aisle and it just so happens to land on the handle of the fire extinguisher WHICH HAS NO PIN IN IT!!! 

So there I am, in the middle of the aisle covered in yellowish powder!  It's all over the floor, all over the stuff on the shelves, friggin everywhere!

I figgured I'd do the "right" thing and let someone know what had happend so I went back to the layaway counter where I was met by one of the assistant managers.  I explained what had happend to her and she asked me if there was anything she could do for me.  Specifically if I needed something to clean off or some clothes.  Had I realy thought about it at the time I probably would have said "yea, why don't you give me a $50 gift card so I can buy some new clothes" but I realy didn't expect her to ask me that so she kinda cought me off guard and I didn't have time to think about it...  Oh well, at least I have the funny story.    The crap will surely wash out and I'm not too concerned about it anyways, them being work clothes and all.

It usually helps when poking fun at the ignorance of others to have a rudimentary knowledge of when capital letters should be used and know the proper use of homophones.  And NO, a homophone isn't a telephone for gay people

Homophones are one sale this week.  Aisle 6, past the broken glass.

In his defense I don't think he was poking fun at their ignorance.  I think it's supposed to read as though there were a question mark at the end of dumbasses.  I think he was really saying, "They're not dumbasses, they just have a hard time getting all fired up for a job that pays $6.50/hr."  I realize that you still find this attitude reprehensible, but...

Also, I don't think that the capital H stems from a lack of rudimentary grammer knowledge.  I think it stems from careless typing and hitting the H before the shift button had fully disengaged after it was pressed to capitalize the T.

Just speculations.

...from a lack of rudimentary grammer knowledge...

And now for some rudimentary Grammer knowledge...

(pretty unfortunate family history...)

[Bones]

Well (that's a deep subject), since we're on the subject, it's 'grammar', not 'grammer' unless you're talking about the town in Indiana or this fella....

There is also another option, for example;

"My grammar and grampar live in the country."

Liar.  You said it was funny.

My bad, I thought it would have been...  I certainly would have laughed if it didn't happen to me. 

Oh well.

It IS funny!  I think Chad was having a bad day yesterday.  It woulda REALLY been funny if you had sprayed a sweet lil old lady!   

[ChadTower]

What is dumbass is the concept that you shouldn't put in good work for 6.50/hr.  Those are the dumbasses that will make 6.50 forever because they never demonstrate the ability that gets you more money or a better job.  Poor work ethic is its own punishment.

I actually did set off a fire extinguisher the same way when I was 11.  I leaned on it and poof it went off... it was kind of funny then, but only because it was at school and it went all over this obnoxious girl everyone hated.

Ha, that wrestling photo is unintentionally perfect.  Look at Al Snow's trunks.  That's his Job Squad phase, when he and a couple others took on the crappy work ethic of "we'll get in the ring, but you don't pay us enough to win, so we'll do the job and get home as fast as we can".

Pin me, Pay me.

It was brilliant.

[Stingray]

I thought it was pretty funny if it makes you feel any better at this point.

The kind of people we look for here at my work are those smart enough to do the job but dumb enough to take the pay we offer.

I think that's actually a direct quote from the Wal-Mart job application.

[ChadTower]

The Walmart around me must go out of their way to fund the ugliest, dumbest mouth breathers out there.  It is set along a strip of literally hundreds of major stores, so there is no lack of simple retail jobs.  You go into any store, you get the average person helping you, doing an average job for low pay.  That's fine.  You go into Walmart and you get an ugly, lazy, dumb person with terrible hygiene every time.  They couldn't possibly be getting applications from only these people.

There is one cute cashier at the Wal-Mart nearest to where I live. She is, however, dumber than a sack of rocks.

[ChadTower]

I can see a trend where Walmart receives a disproportional number of these applicants because of its reputation as being satisfied with terrible work ethic.  The lazy and dumb know they will not be fired for leaving broken glass on the floor, even if a toddler picks it up and chews on it.

[GameOver]

Yummmm....Wal-Mart cheesecake!!!

Minus ten gazillion points for Game Over! That's even worse than Drew's bus stop babe.

Okay, even I can't agree with that. Not "worse than", but definitely "on a par with".

The girl's names in both those pic's is Tesha....coincidence?

[ChadTower]

gotta stop doing that without warning.  A few of us are in places that don't like that sort of thing.

[GameOver]

How can we warn if we can't change the subject?  Only the author can change the subject...

[ChadTower]

Good point.

I think when Stinger's on the prowl, you must assume every thread has cheesecake...

[Stingray]

Also a good point.

Quiet, the euphemistic homophone is ringing.

"Hello?  Hiiii!  Ith tho thuper to hear from you!"

[Scott84]

What i meant is this when i said it.

People who work there are intentional dumbasses. They choose to work for that low wage. Giving bad customer service shouldnt be an option. If they choose to make the wage then fine. But then do your job.

I will tell you a story that happened when i was 12. We were going to go to the local theater, but first we went to walmart to buy candy at a cheaper price. i was in the candy aisle while my friend went to the washroom. Someone spilled water in the aisle.. i told the guy that it needs to be cleaned up as i almost tripped.. The guy says ok... the worker then runs into a friend of his and starts talking to him. My friend comes into the aisle, walking normally, slips on the water and takes a fall and sprains his wrist.

End of the story. Walmart hooked him up with a brand new N64 with 5 games and 3 extra controllers and a memory card.

At that time that was worth more then a thousand dollars.


Health and Saftey is a huge issue. It must be taken seriously at all times.

[ChadTower]

Dude, a brand new N64, 5 games, 3 extra controllers and a memory card were never anywhere near $1000.

[RayB]

I think he meant that being a stupid little kid at the time, an N64 was worth more to him than $1000 in cash would be worth.
