Went to Wal-Mart for the first time in over a year to pick up prints from the photo lab I needed in a hurry. The only woman covering the photo and electronics area was a mother they won’t let off until 7 PM. Her kids flight leaves at 5 PM so she won’t see them today. This so a couple of other people could be off today, who are not mothers.
When I told someone this story I said “This is why I don’t spend money at Wal-mart” they replied, almost predictably, “Then she wouldn’t have any job”. Way to surface dwell brain fodder. Don’t spend any energy thinking anything through. Wouldn’t want ya to throw a spark and hurt yourself.
No, she wouldn’t have that job. Perhaps she would have a better paying full time job at one of the 1.9 million small, local retailers Wal-mart drove out in the name of lame ass “Always low prices, always”. Wal-Mart and other big box hell stores are America’s punishment for lusting over cheap shit, refusing to acknowledge any real value or quality in the cost of goods. Enjoy your Pakistani-Chinese made plastic. All you can afford? Ask yourself why that is. Think it through including the personal accountability part.
