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, very
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 woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "H... no, they
ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the
h... 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 someone slept with you 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.
