Can wal-mart turn a new leaf?

And I also get annoyed by the displays they put in an already too small isle. I know they have a name other than PITA. You know the ones that make everyone walk single file around it and usually have the real crappy stuff they want people to steal/break.

When I was working there; the customers who were the most difficult were the ones on welfare, who just got their income tax checks for the two weeks they work out of the year. People on welfare were usually our most difficult, but around tax time it got worst. You can tell who they as they are the ones who are there with five kids wearing dirty clothes and looking, and smelling, like they haven't had a bath in about a week.. These are ones who buy a thousand dollar tv with their money and get five hundred dollars in food with food stamps. They always came in like they owned the place and we owe them something. Kinda like they were thinking: "Hey! I am hear, roll the red carpet out for my lazy butt !!"

blah, blah, blah, etc.

Was this story supposed to be some kind of personal crisis? You live far too sheltered a life.

You need some experiences like partying with the Animals or the Seekers or the PA Mountain Cycles. You need to book Bad Daze for a party at the Bull's Creek Sportsman's Club. You need to have a party where you suddenly decide to burn all your furniture in a huge bonfire because its worn out and you don't feel like moving it. You need to drive a POS car to the junkyard and sell it for enough money to buy a keg of beer. You need to get shot at because your idiot friend decided to siphon gasoline from a farmer's storage tank. Try riding a bicycle off a pier into a lake covered with a thin sheet of ice. You need to get shot at...well...because you dared to book Bad Daze for a party at the Bull's Creek Sportsman's Club. I could go on, but the really crazy stuff doesn't belong on a public thread.

Don't be intimidated by little old ladies with shopping carts.

Some great posts, there.

In all seriousness, I invite anyone to come out to my Walmart and see how we do things there. I promise you, you'll never go to the Walmart stores in Bedford, Altoona, Ebensburg, or Clearfield again. It's worth the drive, just take the East Freedom exit off I-99, go to the bottom of the ramp and look left. Come on in.

JackANSI · Post by **JackANSI** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 3:37 am

I already do shop there. Less people to deal with than the Altoona one. plus your floors are cleaner.

Kevin you just might have me convinced to see your store. I haven't stepped foot in a walmart in over four years. Here's why.

Every (and I do mean every) time I was there I experienced much of what has been said on here already about a disgusting experience. The rudest people I have ever seen anywhere anytime shop there.

I will say that anytime I asked an employee for help finding something they were always, always helpful.

I will go and check it out today. So far the one I like best is the St. Maries wal-mart. I makes the one in altoona look like trailer trash .. The one in Huntington is nice also. I still loath the company as a whole though.

Note: No offense to anyone living in a trailer intended.

I'll be there from 12-9. Stop by electronics and say hi.

yea, i'd rather see people working at wal-mart than collecting welfare.

f.sciarrillo-

When I was working there; the customers who were the most difficult were the ones on welfare, who just got their income tax checks for the two weeks they work out of the year. People on welfare were usually our most difficult, but around tax time it got worst. You can tell who they as they are the ones who are there with five kids wearing dirty clothes and looking, and smelling, like they haven't had a bath in about a week.. These are ones who buy a thousand dollar tv with their money and get five hundred dollars in food with food stamps. They always came in like they owned the place and we owe them something. Kinda like they were thinking: "Hey! I am hear, roll the red carpet out for my lazy butt !!"

i have friends that work there, and i really don't get what they're bitching about. i mean, it could always be worse... you could be un-employed living on welfare and food stamps. be grateful. the one thing i do have to say is that 6.50 is awfully low to start someone out at... but let's take a long hard look at some of the people hired by wal-mart. i think the low starting price is there to weasle out the people that would just kinda "take up space" on the sales floor. you know who i mean. the lazy fucks that don't do anything at work. we all have worked with people like that. people with the attitude of "i'm only make 6.50 an hour? well, don't expect much." like they are so high and mighty that an honest days work for them is worth that much more? you want it to be worth more, put the time in, work hard, and advance through the company, fuck stick.

just my opinion, though

That slays me, Rob.

The dude in the sweater is probably actually talking about how he got laid by the head cheerleader the previous night.
