Adventures in Discount Land

Apparently an oldie, but one I'd not seen yet: the Wacky World of Wally World, wherein we get what seems to be a CSM's* eye view of what it's like to work for everyone's favorite discount chain, Wal Mart:

Toilet Gump came by the front checkouts today holding a thong and bra. I made the mistake of making a comment. I jokingly said "Those for you?" His reply to me was "Maybe after six or so beers." The therapist I have to see now because of that incident says whenever I remember that conversation I should just go to my happy place.

Never did have the pleasure of working for this bunch, although I did apply to the corporate office a few times. From reading these accounts, it's absolutely everything you'd think it would be.

* Customer Service Manager... if I recall correctly, exactly one step up from a cashier. Sort of like the difference between a private and a private, first class (do they even have those anymore?)
