7-4-02 - Just a thought, but you probably should not ask someone who is working on a holiday if they are having a good holiday. Chances are that if it is a holiday, and you're working, you're probably not too happy about it and don't care to talk about it with a customer who is leaving to go be with friends and family. Meanwhile, the highlight of your day is getting off of a cash register so you can pick up trash.
3-10-03 - I was on my way to the restroom to wash my hands after working on a couple of the registers and I saw our District Manager. He went in to the restroom right ahead of me. I went in and began to wash my hands and he went in to the stall. A moment later, I heard him grunting. Now I've heard grunting, farting, straining, and explosions come out of that stall before, but because it was my district manager who is responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars, it struck me as hilarious. I guess rich people in suits have to take a crap too. If I had known that is where he was going in advance, I would have taken out the toilet paper before he went in, and demanded a raise before I gave it back to him.
3-23-03 - Believe it or not, we sell a cd in electronics titled "Mullet Rock."
I used to work in retail hell. It really turned me into the cynical bastard that I am today. Well, that and the fine, outstanding food-service industry. Wal-Mart is the reason I have a disdain for most holidays. You see, when you see people starting to objectify holidays for commerce purposes moreso than their true meaning, it kinda makes you not like those holidays anymore. Christmas is a perfect example. No longer is it a fine family and religious holiday. No! It's what can I buy for whom at the lowest price. Lowest price usually means Wal-Mart.
