Rent-a-drunk

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Back before Thanksgiving the local WAL-MART hired a horde of temps for the holiday period. And when Black Friday turned into Blue Monday they fired all of them. Then someone had a brain fart, LETS HIRE DRUNKS FROM RENT-A-BUM! Hire by the hour, fire by the hour.

Well! WAL-MART got its drunks, and the crew were dead-ringers for the cast of LIL ABNER and the other citizens of Dog Patch. I'm told the experiment lasted about one hour and the store manager tried to confiscate 5 hours of approved work hours from each department to pay for the fiasco.

Yea, it sucked when the greeters were saying things like, " Welcome to Wal-Mart ya' fat cunt, get your fat ass in there and spend all your fuckin' money. Hurry up and do it or I'll put my foot up your ass. Thank you for choosing Wal-Mart, Bitch."

I think they were spending too much time working in the beer-wine aisle. Its a problem lotsa convenience stores have.

Five years ago I worked at a WAL-MART during the holiday season. I seen things you see nowhere else. Fucking in the aisles, naked girls, parents feeding their kids (grazing) from the shelves and coolers, drunks vomiting all over the merchandise, perverts crawling on the floors licking women's shoes, bold as brass balls thefts. It was wild.

And that was just the staff. The shoppers were worse. Nothing like a Wal-Mart to enjoy a day of debauchery and decadence.

One day I was at the checkout at a Wal-Mart when someone thought they'd slip out with a large television and some beer.

Didn't quite pull it off that time.

Boy, the WalMart I shop at is nothing like this! I think I'm getting ripped off in the entertainment department.

In my local supermarket three women tried to steal five television/DVD combinations. They might have got away with it except they had the five boxes piled up beside them as they were sitting on the sidewalk outside the store waiting for their taxi.

The police car arrived first.

This could become the new entertainment mecca for the wealthy; "DesperationLand."

They will have guides -- with elephant guns, of course, to keep the lowly and despicable away from the Important People.

No Wal-Marts within 100 miles of me

That might mean a few independent retail businesses have survived somewhere near you...

A few but I've seen business that have been running for 50 years close. It's just sad, Stella.

Last year the Wal-Mart Santa hit on me. That was just weird, therapy weird. Really there are some boundaries I just won't cross.

Our Wally World is an endless source of amusement. It's the crossroads of human degradation. Recently a rather fat woman attempted to steal a laptop 'puter by clutching it between her thighs and waddling out the door. She almost made it outside, but the door alarm went off and she tried to run. The cops and security dudes were laughing and tubby was crying as they attempted to stuff her in the back seat of a patrol car.

Customers haul shit out the front door and assistant managers haul shit out the back door. Customers are the least of WAL-MARTs problems.

I posted elsewhere that our local stores are beginning to kick WAL-MARTs ass in terms of price. In 10 years I expect WAL-MART will be history.

I'm not as optimistic, overall, but I hope you're right. Horrible company. I worked for them during a remodel years ago and they were fucking awful. Including most of the regular hourly workers. Walmart can't go out of business fast enough to make me happy. They've ruined our local economy.

I do, however, enjoy the wildlife.

Right after I retired I signed on at WAL-MART as a holiday temp to shelve shit over night. You walk miles, lug tons of shit around, up & down ladders, great excercise for fat-ass Remington Rangers like me. I ate vicodin for lunch! It was 6 weeks of Hell. But it shaped me up in a hurry.

I quit when it became obvious to me that WAL-MART is slave labor. The stores have all kinds of heavy machinery to move shit around, but they luv to watch you struggle pulling 4000 pounds of canned crap around or frozen chicken or paint. I gave the assistant manager the finger when he told me to pull a loaded pallet jack up and down each grocery aisle, rather than unload and sort stuff onto the speedo carts for each aisle. I told him I wasnt a fucking mule and lets go check me out of Wally World.

He got caught stealing HDTVs a few weeks later.

Another AM was fired after he forced a woman with a lite duty pass to unload heavy cases of canned goods. She had had abdominal surgery and the WAL-MART MD gave her the lite-duty ticket to be a greeter or whatever. Well, the AM told her to get busy with the cases or hit the hiway, and her guts spilled all over the floor.
