Ewings First Day As A Walmart Greeter

As many of you know, I had ambitions of finding a simple, uncomplicated part time job after retiring from my "day job".

Unfortunately, as I have gotten a littler older, I have become a little less sensitive.

So after landing my new job as a Walmart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less then a day.....

About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

As I had been instructed, I said, pleasantly, "Good morning and welcome to Walmart. Nice children you have there, are they twins?"

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9 and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?"

So I replied, "I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am, I just couldn't believe you got laid twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Walmart".

My supervisor said, I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work...

This is not a true story only because they wouldn't of fired a man for saying that -they'd just move him over to the customer service counter or made him a cashier with that attitude! LOL!

Good answer, that's why I wouldn't make a good Walmart greeter either.
