As many of you know, I had ambitions of finding a simple, uncomplicated part
time job after retiring from my 'day job'. Unfortunately, as I have gotten a
little older, I have become a little less sensitive. So after landing my new
job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than
a day......
About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive,
mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling
obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. As I had been
instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice
children you have there, are they twins?' The ugly woman stopped yelling
long enough to say, 'Hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the
other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or
just stupid?' So I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am, I just
couldn't believe you got laid twice. Have a good day and thank you for
shopping at Wal-Mart.'
My supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work.
