Bahaha, I love that movie. And that's how I felt when I quit Walmart. Super nice day in April and I kept thinking to myself every time the fresh air came through the opening doors "Do I really want to stay at this soul sucking job all summer??" And decided that I did not, so I walked to the back, swiped out, and told my manager I quit. And she was like "Ohhh you put in your 2 weeks, sorry to hear that." And I was like "No, I quit. Today." And she said "Well you know if you walk out of here you can never work at a Walmart again?"
OH NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I applied for a job at walmart once. I wanted to be the guy that presses the button to open the door for the people that are leaving, but they basically told me that job is for retards and I wasn't retarded enough.

It wasn't as bad when the economy was good, cause it was mostly part-time teenagers at those types of jobs.
Now, though, those places are full of people who got laid off and it's the only job they can get. It's depressing.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the "we thought social security would be enough but it totally isn't" crowd. Also depressing.

I try to talk to the greeters at wal mart whenever I can because I feel bad. A lot of them are older people who were retired but lost their money in whatever stocks. It is definitely quite sad.

I love that though. Have a 50 year old guy pack my groceries, and you can say "Hey, sorry to be a pain, but could you triple bag that for me? That box of 'You're never going to retire' has sharp corners, and it always breaks. Thanks"

I only shopped at a Wal-Mart once in my life. I was in Alaska and needed soap and shampoo after I forgot I couldn't have it in my carry-on and had to throw it away at security. The whole experience was gross and disgusting.
