So, after landing my new job as a Walmart greeter—a good find for many retirees—I had less than a day.
About two hours into my first shift, a very loud, 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 Walmart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?"
Of course, her children were at least two years apart, and while they shared some similar features, they certainly didn’t look like each other.
The woman stopped yelling long enough to snap,
"HeII no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9, and the other one’s 7. Why the heII 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 Walmart."
My supervisor later said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work. 🥰🥰🥰
When I was young I really sucked at docking at the marina. I can tell you now after countless gelcoat repairs screaming at the dock and years of practice, I am no longer young.
