Tales From A Greeter - #2

Another installment of the wacky and weird things I see while being a greeter....

~Fashion Tip: Wearing sweatpants with writing on the ass, such as "Juicy", just looks weird, no matter how nice of an ass you have. And if you are going to wear pants with writing on the ass, don't get mad when guys stare at your ass the whole time you are shopping through the store..or when anyone looks at your ass because HELLO...you have words there...you might as well have your pants say "Stare Here!"

~ Attention Shoplifters: If you send one guy in the store to buy a computer legitimately, and they go through the door and the greeter stops you and checks the receipt, and highlights that everything is good with THAT computer, don't leave the store, give the receipt to someone else, and have them come in and get the same computer and try to pass it through the other door. We highlight the receipts for a reason...do you really think we aren't going to catch that?

~ Attention patrons of the Redbox movie machine: Walmart does not run the Redbox, we do not put movies in there, that is done by the Redbox guy once a week. Having your cute 6 year old come up to me asking if I could put High School Musical 3 in the machine so they can rent it, and then getting mad at me when I say we don't have the ability to do that and yell at me because your kid is crying because the movie is all rented out, really isn't good parenting.

~ Speaking of bad parenting: When you enter into the store, it really isn't smart to walk fast with your 2 yr old toddling behind you, and you are halfway into the store before you realize your kid is still trying to get through the door. It would be so easy for someone to snatch up your kid and you would be none the wiser. Besides having to do returns and check receipts, I also then have to be the babysitter for your kid until you realize they aren't with you.

~ Please don't yell at me and tell me I am discriminating against you when I ask to check your receipt. I don't care what your race, religion, or anything else is, if you have things at the bottom of your cart, anything from electronics, or if you are just walking out of the store with an item, I have to check the receipt. I didn't check the guy in front of you because his stuff was in a bad, and your walking out with an MP3 player in your hand, no bag, no visible receipt.

~ If you need to ride the electric cart around the store when you are shopping, then by all means, it is available for your use. But the carts are not allowed outside the store, and there are signs posted regarding this. If you walk into the store just fine, then suddenly tell me you can't walk out to your car and yell at me about discriminating against the disabled, then don't get mad when I alert you to the fact I saw you walk into the store fine, so you are able to get to your car without the electric cart, and that I am not breaking any disability laws, because I know the laws full well...hello, I am disabled myself!

~ Speaking of me being disabled, it really is not alright for you to walk up to me when you come into the store, push on my legs, and ask how long I have been paralyzed. Yes, I kid you not, people will actually push on my legs thinking I am paralyzed and can't feel it. Even if I was paralyzed (which thank goodness I am not), why would you need to push on my legs!? It's just weird!

OK, so there's a few goodies for ya! There's always more to come!!
