Ugh. I’m a manager at Wal-Mart (talk down to me for working at Wal-Mart all you want but management here pays me very comfortably) and I totally lost my cool with a customer today. I don’t feel bad about it either.

Our Wal-Mart has a gas station (an actual wal-Mart gas station not a Murphy’s like some Wal-Mart’s have) and a customer there was so furious about something they demanded to speak with a manager. So I went out there.

So, they wanted to get $4 in gas. (Yes this all happened over $4) They apparently didn’t know how fuel pumps work or something. There was only one attendant on duty and she had a line of customers so she couldn’t just drop them to go pump his gas for him until she got her line down and when there’s input one of them they aren’t supposed to step outside anyway unless it’s an emergency.

Anyway, as I get out there I hear the Bastard screaming at the girl “Well I guess you’re just too stupid to turn the pump on!” because supposedly his gas wouldn’t pump.

So I walked out there with him and proceeded to, without any trouble, pump his gas for him. And, with his recent uncalled for insult on an innocent cashier, I calmly said, “Hey, would you look at that… I pulled the trigger and the gas pumped, imagine that. I guess somebody’s just too stupid to pump gas.”

I don’t feel bad about it either. The trend (in this town anyway) to treat retail employees like absolute garbage knowing they have to just take it is getting old. Normally I would’ve just pumped his gas and left with an obvious smirk but that guy was too much.

Maybe the guy was from my state? We don’t pump our own gas in NJ.

I don’t like Walmart because they’re a terrible company. I’ll just leave it at that.

We’re doing just fine without you, and fyi Wal-Mart donates a ton of money to children’s miracle network hospitals. Even more than they advertise they do.

When our story opened up everyone was afraid it would put our local grocery store out of business. And it did. But (almost) everyone that worked there got hired at this Wal-Mart and now makes more money than they did there, so it didn’t exactly hurt people’s jobs.

Its not the villain everyone says it is, it’s just any other large chains where some branches are better than others.

Also did you know all employees get quarterly bonuses based on how good that particular store did? And it is on an individual store basis. So in a sense when you shop at Wal-Mart you are helping the workers in your local community.

Walmart has put a lot of local mom and pop places out of business. These are places each with their own quirks/personalities/character that are now gone and replaced with characterless corporate chain store. Walmart may do some good, but it has done some damage too.

Right, blame an entire company over the mistakes/misdoings of an individual. Reasonable.

well sometimes the mistakes of individual can be due to the company not giving the proper training and/or not going a good enough job deciding who to hire.

I’ve had bad experiences at the Walmart near me. I remember one time I went there to pick up something I had ordered and the teenage girl who processed my order treated me like “how dare I be at her area of the store”. I was very nice, but the whole time she was just rolling her eyes and didn’t have kind word to say to me. Then there was this other time(I think I posted about it while back) when this very heavy box fell from the top shelf almost hitting and seriously injuring my mother. This happened because she tried to get it down, because she couldn’t find anyone to help her. She did end up with a cut. It made a very loud sound. In a place with people that knew what they were doing, people would have checked it out to fine out what happened and make sure everyone was alright. In this store, no one came. Mom finally found someone and told them what happened and showed them the cut, they tried to sell her band aids. In my opinion, if a customer gets hurt in your store, you don’t sell them band aids, you give them the band aids needed for the injury(ies) incurred. I am sure some Walmarts are better, but the one nearest where I live, is terribly run. I refuse to shop there.

Right, that totally excuses calling me stupid over his mistake. I’m not engaging in a conversation on the evils of Wal-Mart with You from what I’ve seen of others arguing with you is generally useless.

Urge to break Impscum’s fucking legs in with a sledgehammer – most goddamn definitely rising.

His life is so pathetic that no one can do anything to make it worse.

If thinking that makes you feel good then by all means think so.

I know so. We all do. You’re the one lying to yourself.

One of us is obviously lying to make himself feel better. As long as we both feel better because of it, I don’t see any harm.

Goddamn cretin. I will literally jump for joy once the ignore feature’s back, knowing I will never have to read another one of your ego-masturbating shitposts ever again.

I really don’t know why anybody here still reads or responds to his posts.
Just do what people in real life do- Ignore him.
Then, I’m sure that’s easier to do to him in real life, where he keeps himself inside and closed off. It’s not like he’s down at the bar bugging everyone or trying to mingle socially. He knows that shit wouldn’t fly.

I don’t know what kind of bars you go to and people you meet, but around the bars I go to and people I meet, the only shit we have seen here that wouldn’t work is telling people you have an urge to “break legs in with a sledgehammer” and telling people (you don’t know) that their “life is so pathetic”.

What bars do you go to, Applebee’s? I don’t go to bars anymore, but that language was thrown around all of the time. My friends and I loved a good fight.

Oh, so you’re one of these two guys.

That seems needlessly hostile.

1. I though he called your coworker stupid, not you.

2. I was definitely not arguing that his rude behavior should be excused.

3. My remake about the guy being from NJ was intended as a joke.

4. I am not sure why it is considered useless to argue with me.

Jazz bars/clubs and such. Cultivated stuff.

Of course you think jazz is cultivated…

Ah yes, you’re right. I didn’t fully read your quote of me and forgot which story I told because such things happen so often because people are generally assholes.

Since I don’t want to get in undue trouble for responding to the following in its original thread, I’ll say everything I have to say here.

Too many people act like movies should adhere to a strict, realistic narrative – that there should always be a clear series of events with a defined beginning, middle, and end, with characters acting/reacting logically. They don’t have to and they shouldn’t have to.

There’s nothing wrong with finding surrealist filmmaking not to your liking – if it’s not to your tastes, it’s not to your tastes. But when you insist that its bad – with no understanding of the genre – then you’re just being a narrow-minded populist.

You have just defended PT without noticing it.

I think he purposefully misread it.

Well he certainly can claim that.
