Why did I DARE....

[Amina516]

...venture to the Wall of Marts at 11pm?

No offense to the Wally World employees, but the one by my house just sucks with the amount of lines thats open vs the actual amount of customers waiting in line.

So, I waited about 30 mins to pay, which wasnt too bad. I just people watched the whole time and talked to my husband.

I finally get to the front of the line and the cashier looks ABSOLUTELY haggard. Likes shes been there about 20 years without a break. I felt really bad when I over hear her telling one of the other customers that she was supposed to leave over an hour ago, but the customers just kept on coming. . I felt bad. Hope she got outta there.

Anywho, onto some suck.

Me and the hubs are walking to the car when I see a small boy (no more than 5 years old) in underwear (or really short shorts) and socks streak by me. So, I whip my head around and watch him. He runs to the front of the lot and sits on a curb. Im like WTF? So, I put my 2 bags in the trunk and stand and watch the kid, HOPING to see another adult or someone with him. No luck. He didnt look scared or crying, or I wouldve ran up to him. Hes just sitting there on the curb alone. After about a minute I start to make my way over to him when I hear someone scream a name. Kid looks up and runs over to a car thats parked about a 1/4 of the parking lot away from us. And I breathe a sigh of relief. At least he wasnt alone.

As hubs and I make out way out of the parking lot, we see a car where theres a few people hanging out and see the damn 5 year old somehow hanging upside down about 6 feet in the air, off the sign above the fuckin cart return corral. .

Bonus!!!

More confusing than sucky, but weird none the less.

After walmart, hubs and I decide to go to McDonalds for a midnight snack. The time is 12:02 am.

MG : McDonalds Guy
H : Hubs

Mg: hI, CAN i TAKE YOUR ORDER?
H : Yes, can I please get a num....
Mg : SORRY HOLD ON*noise, silence, noise, LOUD CRASH, silence, grunting for about a minute*
Mg: CAN i TAKE YOUR ORDER PLEASE *grunting*
H : Sure. Can I plz have a number 12?
Mg :NUMBER 12? WHATS THAT?
H : Um, its an angus burger? Its on the menu?
Mg : OH *silence* UMM, i DONT THINK WE MAKE THOSE AFTER MIDNIGHT.
H : Ok, thats not a problem, then Ill take a numbe...
Mg: WAIT!! WE HAVE TWO LEFT...YOU WANT
H : Sure, Ill take it.
Mg : K *gets drink and size info*
Mg: ANYTHING EL... HOLD ON! *grunting, throwing shit around, loudness, silence, more loudness.* Im sorry, what was that?
H : Can I get a number 4?
Mg: SURE *gets drink and size info* PULL UP TO FIRST WINDOW

We pull up, Hubs hands the debit card over

Mg: *stares and sputters* UH, UM...WE'RE ONLY TAKING CASH.

H : Oh, well in that case, Im sorry but I have no other way to pay.
Mg : *Looks genuinely pissed!!*
H : So, thanks but good bye. *And we drive off into the sunset.*

It wouldnt have killed that guy to tell us that they were only taking cash BEFORE we went through the painful ordering process. And yes the guy was yelling the whole time.

It was THAT kind of night....

Oh you must have met Bob (name changed to protect the possibly mentally handicapped). That's the man my BF is in training with for the same position. This is his last week of training and he still doesn't know how to run the drivethru or make food or count down a till... nevermind the fact that he supposedly used to be a GM for a BK...

11pm at Wal-Mart is a bad time to check out. This means shift change where the same 30 customers have two open registers instead of six.

Regarding the cashier who was there an hour past her shift, there could be different explanations:
1) Was her light on? If she left it on and was just trying to "get through the line", then she was being silly. The light should have been turned off.
2) Her light was off and had been for some time. Customers have a herding mentality and flock to lines, regardless of whether the line is closed. She should have started turning people away. Unfortunately, this leads to pissy customers who don't want to wait in longer lines. It's also hard to turn people away when you can't even see the back of the line. Customers are real good at pretending they arrived before you started turning people away.
3) Management was making her stay or made her leave her light on. Yeah, that's just sucky as hell.

have friends that work in wally world and they've recently cut their hours for employees as if day shift hasn't had theirs cut enough night shift is now taking the brunt of it. so yes i feel for the cashier so unfortunately it will continue to be lots of people not enough lanes open.

Mickey D's guy... Honestly, I have to ask. Did you see anyone else inside? I'm just saying... Strange guy, doesn't know the menu, lots of crashing and banging sounds, only wants cash...

Robbery gone stupid, taking the drive throughs to get a bit more funds?
