Walmart associates

I swear ... we went to Wal-Mart today and some of the associates that work there. whew I don't see how they keep a job.

for those of you who don't know. When you go into Wal-Mart, if you can't find something you're looking for they are supposed to show you where it is. They aren't supposed to say it's in aisle 41. They are supposed to TAKE YOU THERE!

Well we are going to paint my daughter's room and the Wal-Mart in Union City (half an hour from where we live) is remodeling. So you can't find ANYTHING in there. For instance the Domestics (bedding, pillows, kitchen stuff) is in the Garden Center. Sorry I'm getting off track.

When we went to find the paint chart (is what Terry called it) we asked one of the girls there where to find it. She said I don't know because I don't work back here I'm just helping but let me find you the paint person. So she goes to find the paint person and the woman says what are you looking for all snotty like. Terry said the paint chart. She said you mean the paint CARDS? He said yeah whatever. So she stands at the end of the aisle like we are dumbasses and says they are at the very end of this aisle on the left. Course there are 14 workers in the same aisle trying to disasemble the displays (because like I said they are remodeling). They have the aisle so close together you can't get one cart down there little lone have people on both sides that is blocking your path to the paint cards.

So while we are trying to get down the aisle to the paint cards she tells one of the guys that is trying to take apart the thing that holds the drill display. You don't need a screwdriver for that... you're going to tear it up. And he mutters under her breath and then says well that's how I was told to take it apart by whoever's name he used. She said well I'm telling you different. I don't care WHAT they said.

It's painfully obvious they don't really care for her. And how she gets to keep her job I'll never know.

Needless to say we didn't get any paint today. Didn't want to deal with her pain in the butt attitude.
