	I think I've met a few of those. Like the woman who got mad because we don't give discounts on Sundays and went on a rant about the godless workers at the store. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

You and my mom should swap stories. She currently works for Walmart, so I get to hear these stories all the time. So far the best ones are: crackhead goes on rampage in layaway, transvestite shoplifter, drunk guy plowing the Walmart parking lot crushes three cars, family of eight or so tries to steal shoes for themselves, guy dumps entire basket in a rage at 1-10 items line because he had way over the limit and they asked him to go to another line, and endless amounts of people trying to return items clearly marked with Ikea and other non-Walmart store branding.

And then there was that time some random person tried to blow up my mom's van in the Walmart parking lot while she was at work by sticking a lit cloth in the gas tank.

No religious-type stories, though.

Oh, we so should. By far the worst we had was the looney who kept leaving dead animals all over the place, but in the years and various stores I've worked at, there've been some other doozies that range from a big burly guy heaving a Christmas tree at a 5'3" cashier like he was tossing a fucking caber to the woman who had to be taken away by police because she kept opening cans of food and throwing them at people's cars.

Might depend on which Wal-mart you go to. Where I live, there's two Wal-marts about five miles apart where one is nice, clean, and the people are friendly and the other is dirty and attracts the crazies.

There's a guy that sits in his car outside ghetto-mart selling bootleg DVDs and CDs (far as I can tell, they don't care, because every summer he's there)... and I will admit it was kind of amusing when his trunkload of bootlegs turned into a trunkload of Obama merchandise last summer.

Wish I had worked at her store. When I worked on the express check, they would actually send people over to me with entire cartloads full of stuff just because I hadn't had any customers for thirty seconds, even though we were super busy otherwise. I once had to run over 200 items for a person, meanwhile the poor people who just wanted one or two things are lined up behind him, and they couldn't complain to a manager because it was the manager's fault.

	Remember the Sabbath, and keep it 20-40% off retail? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Whatever happened to praying on the Sabbath. (Reply to this)(Parent)
