The wonders of Walmart.

Well. It has been quite a long time. I don't really have a reason or excuse for my long blog hiatus. And I'm not going to make one up. So let's get on with it.
I would like to talk about my job today. Over the summer I worked at Walmart to save up some money during my break from school. I worked in the apparel section where I spent many long hours folding clothes, straightening hangers, picking stuff up from the REALLY dusty disgusting floor (sometimes I felt like joining the maintenance team just so I could get all those nasty lint wads out of my sight), putting back returned clothing, and doing other such tedious activities. One of the most painful things was having to make irritating articles of clothing look nice and attractive to buyers. Let me just show you some of the horrid shirts I had to acquaint myself with.  Here is a sample:
Mens

 Others: "Don't laugh it's your girlfriend's shirt" "Ladies love me" "SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG" "I'm right 97% of the time Who cares about the other 4%"

Boys

So I don't have anything against graphic t-shirts. I just like them when they are clever and/or witty and/or cool. Not obnoxious with overused and completely un-funny phrases. So yeah, my sense of humor was insulted daily. 

Now I just have to show you this absolute *gem* that I found whilst I was browsing for pictures on Walmart.com. I never saw this in the store but it takes the loser cake. 

Something that both misuses the word "epic" and features the word "swag" deserves to be obliterated from the face of this planet. Seriously though. 

WHY? 

Onto other topics. Another painful thing was when the front end people pulled me up to be a cashier even though there are lots of complex things that Walmart cashiers need to know and I wasn't trained very much. First of all I am not a person who enjoys dealing with customer service. At all. Humans are too wild and ferocious and scary and emotional and stuff. Second, I had to ask for help all the time and deal with grumpy customers that got peeved when they had to wait until their dumb cashier was told by a trained person how to resolve her question.

But besides those two things my job wasn't bad at all. I got some money. I learned stuff. I contributed my valuable skills to the Walmart work force. Yeah, okay that's enough. See ya.
