Wal-Mart Weirdness

I love night shift. I love my job. I love working at Wal-Mart.

I don't love weird people. Who comes in at 3AM to just buy a pack of underwear? Do these people have no lives they have to come to wal-mart in the middle of the night?

Frankly, if you are at wal-mart at 2-4 AM, and you don't work there, you're just...kinda weird.

Gross-out of the day:

There was a live goldfish in the toilet at the public restrooms. And someone had used the bathroom on the poor thing. It lived about an hour. Those bathrooms always get nasty overnight anyway, but I must say that was a bit of a shock. I never use them--I go to the back restrooms. Customers don't usually know about those.

Someone had decided they didn't want to walk all the way to the front of the store to use the bathroom during the day shift, so they used one of the men fitting rooms. Just because we use the same sign for men and women on the fitting rooms as we do on the bathrooms, doesn't mean you can use it. I mean really, your first tip-off is that there isn't a toilet in there.

Weird creatures of the night:

This guy (who's about 350 lb) keeps coming in with this greyhound dog who is CLEARLY not a service dog. They tell him to leave, but threatens to sue because of the whole ADA thing. That's just a rumor floating around the GM side though.

A transvestite came in and tried to steal a bunch of bras. Almost got away with it, but one of the associates noticed he was getting bustier and bustier from him stuffing bras away. She was all like "he came in a B cub, now he's at a DD!" LOL

People keep getting in my way when I'm stocking baby food. I work in infants now, because the girl who usually works there transfered to another store. And I don't really have any idea what I'm doing over there. Baby food is horendous to stock. I don't mind it, it's just a pain to find the exact one your looking for. There's Nature's Goodness, Gerbers, a Gerbers Organic, Nature's Goodness DHA approved, and added to all those is the fact that they come in three sizes: 1, 2, and 3 year size.

And then you've got these crazy snack foods for the little urchins. They have frozen dinners for them now! And it's all freakin' expensive. Infant formula (which I can't even list the many brands we have) is CRAZY pricey--and this is in a Wal-Mart. It's sad when your formula costs more than almost all the clothes we sell.

Don't get me started on diapers, though they are considerably easier than the idiotic baby food. There's Parents Choice, Pampers, Cruisers, Swadllers, Huggies, UnderJames (for the big kids), Pull-Ups, Little Swimmers, Easy-Ups, Overnights, Luvs, and White Cloud. Good grief. It's like a mad merchandise war in the diapers section.

Oh well, I do enjoy it more than apparel though.

EDIT:

For anyone who wants to do a Zelda-themed pumpkin, I've made up some stencils you can use. These are meant to be cut in relief. Like, don't cut all the way through the pumpkin.
