[video=youtube;wP16ORuDnxY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP16ORuDnxY[/video] This is my friend's new YouTube channel. He is blending in with Clinton supporter clientele.
the fact that this was relatively normal and not completely over the top with dubstep intros and royalty free background music actually cracked me up a bit. just some guy awkwardly asking weird questions.
[QUOTE]He is blending in with Clinton supporter clientele.[/QUOTE] nice
Whatever you say at walmart is a dumb question because most of them don't listen for shit and couldn't be assed to help anyways.

Congrats on being unfunny and wasting associates time.

[QUOTE=RedPowder;51613890]Whatever you say at walmart is a dumb question because most of them don't listen for shit and couldn't be assed to help anyways.[/QUOTE] under paid, over worked, treated like shit by their employer, and they have to deal with idiots like this regularly gee I wonder why
[QUOTE=J!NX;51614381]in fact, all min wage employee's that are way into their job I avoid because that is legitimately disturbing and stay the fuck away from me[/QUOTE] Why do you have such a hostile take on somebody that may actually like their job, regardless of pay?
[QUOTE=Michael haxz;51616532]Why do you have such a hostile take on somebody that may actually like their job, regardless of pay?[/QUOTE] I'm being ultra hyperbolic for humor sake but it [I]does [/I]get a little weird when someone seems a bit too content for a job that's otherwise not worth anyones time its like, you're working for a company that's pretty much completely screwing you over, it's a little jarring when they work harder than anyone else and never get anything out of it, ever though I do hope they're happy regardless
found it pretty boring tbh

We're all pissed off that we're there in the first place, none of us want to be there, we're all overworked due to the stores running skeleton crews, we're all underpaid because it's retail nobody in retail gets a decent wage, and this guy is only about customer #498958923848 to ask a dumb question that day. I can guarantee you there's nobody wearing the blue vest of shame that genuinely wants to do CA. I usually deflected any and all CA to someone else and slid off into the back to do something productive that wasn't on the sales floor, which wasn't hard since I worked in the meat department and we always had shit to tag up, shit to put in our racks, etc. Before that I worked 3rd shift stocking Grocery, which meant there really weren't any customers in the store to begin with and thus no dumb questions to answer.

I was the person in the blue vest for 13 months, I can 100% assure you [b][i][u]nobody wearing it wants to be seen in it[/u][/i][/b]. I didn't even wear mine most days, on 3rd you could sorta get away with it in my store since there weren't any customers in to begin with and when I was in the Meat Dept we had to wear the white coats instead. If you ever see an Associate that's genuinely smiling and following the 10 foot rule you've either found someone that just got hired onto their first job in ever, someone that just got hired on after getting out of jail, or someone that's on the good shit. Any sensible, normal person is going to be Grumpy McGrumperkins within 20 minutes of first donning the thing. If you ever find yourself in the breakroom or the smoking area when the associates are on break the only work-related things you'll hear from them are general grumping and complaining. Working for walmart does that to ya, I call it 'the place careers go to die' and count my lucky stars I managed to get out of there.
