Wal-Mart Geniuses at work!

So today I go to Wal-Mart. Luckily I am already dressed for work so I am not too worried about being put up in the ‘best of’ hall of fame. I was doing just fine in the self checkout until the lady came over and said I needed ‘help’ b/c there was an error. Im not a tech school trained cash register genius but I am pretty sure I didnt need any help and if I wanted help I would have trucked my ass all the way down to the one open register with a person working it!!! On my side it was letting me checkout just fine!!! So the ‘help’ she gave me put me behind about 10 minutes – everything I scanned from that point on made it stop and need an override! Is that some sort of job security she has worked up? So I am all checked out and she has completing the process she walks back over to her ‘helper’ podium and as I start to walk away acts like we have never met before and asks to check my receipt!!!! Umm….OK – Hii…..remember me? You just did an override for 95% of the items in these TWO bags ....right over there about 2 feet from here???? Yeah, that was me – nice to see you again!

And then again, as if I look like I would steal $5 clearance items of paint by number craft items I am asked again by the door to see my receipt!!! Where were these Cartel security the day the lady didn’t scan anything on the bottom shelf of my cart? Beer, cokes, waters…… Probably about $75 worth of goods that walked out that day!!!! YES, people waiting to turn me in……I turned around and tried to pay for them but the ignoramus behind the register didn’t get it and sent me to customer service!!!! I mean, if I have to spell it out for you to take more of my money I am thinking you probably don’t deserve to have it!!!!

Is your car your space or public?

So I am at the light and next to me is a woman tweezing out her chin hairs and of course I have to double-take and look to be sure I am seeing what I am seeing and YUP that is what it was - a perfectly normal looking person just chilling at the light pulling out HER chin hairs. Now, I am not judging b/c I have a some unwanted nose hairs of my own that seem to grow to an unsightly and impossible length and thickness overnight but I dont think I would be grooming at a stop light. Sure, maybe in the Wal-Mart parking lot but not at a light with people on each side of me! So, I am feeling uncomfortable and have to act busy. But why on earth am I the uncomfortable one in this situation? Unless for some reason she thinks we cant see her just b/c she is inside of her car, if she doesnt care why should I? What I should have done, as I do for those caught picking their nose, is honk and wave. This is always fun b/c you get those who act like they arent doing anything, like they dont see you waving or just wave back like...'yeah, hi....who me? what?' or the best ones are those that are nuckle deep and arent even phased by the honking and waving of their neighboring vehicles.....hope it was a good one!

I also think I saw a lady giving herself a breast exam while driving. I cant be perfectly sure, but I know I saw nip, both hands in the air and she didn't seem to be having a good time or anything and had the position of the breast exam. My main concern here is that there were no hands on the wheel. Now there is privacy and then there is safety. But I guess if you are so busy you cant feel yourself up in the shower rather than in the car that might be the least of your worries.

I think the worst thing I have done in the 'privacy' of my car is paint my toes.

The moral of the story is that unless you have illegally dark tint on your windows or you are parked in your garage than the inside of your car is not a very private place......and spare us the public grooming. You wouldnt trim your toes at a restaurant would you? Dont answer that.
