Forget it, Bob; it's Wal-Mart.

Up +35 Down

I once worked 3rd shift in-stock at Wal-Mart. If it wasn't the late nights' spent trying to re-stock crap that couldn't go up the night before, it was having to deal with noisy kids. At two AM. On a Wednesday. At the start of our shift each night, we were treated to a small pep speech led by one of five in-stock managers; rather then learn their names, I called them all "Bob". Bob never liked me interrupting with "Give me a ten dollar raise and I'll do my job in a tutu." Strangely Bob never understood the concept of team work. Like, when I asked for help when stocking two departments by myself that often encounter the insomniac customer purchasing a hunting licenses, he'd say no, but then request all in-stock personnel to the parking lot for a fun game of "Shopping Cart Rodio". Once while doing a job that wasn't my own upon request of Bob, Bob had a minor fit of amnesia and yelled at me to get back to my own job, I expressed my concern of the fact that it wasn't five minutes ago Bob had asked that I momentarily switch job description, but Bob had none of it. I suggested that Bob communicate with Bob more often, then perhaps Bob might be a better manager. I didn't work there very long much after, I gave my weeks notice, because they weren't worth two, and spent my last few days dancing to techno in the auto department, blowing off customers and not stocking un-stock-able merchandise for the sake of doing the robot. And in my sporadic un-talented jerks of mechanical movement, I realized something: It's not the work that sucks, it's that it's at Wal-mart.
