You can come work with me at Wally World Kryos!
Just don't take the job I'm after in Electronics or Photo Lab... 'cause I'll kill ya.
I want ot get switched over to days as soon as this remodel crap is over with (the 15th), and parttime wouldn't be so bad. I don't really need a ton of cash right now, and the free time would allow me to search for a real job. I'm not too suited for retail work. I needs me an office chair, computer, maybe a phone, and a PA system I can screw around with and not frighten off customers.

billf, Wal-mart rarely fires people. Why do you think so many idiots work there (you and I exepted, of course)?
There was some creep who worked on the floor a few years ago (or this is the story I got, anyway, since I wasn't there) who kept making girl associates feel uncomfortable which is a firable offence, on charges of sexual harassment. But instead of firing him, they just switched him to a different department, where he got benefits and full-time hours.
If you're looking for justice in this world, don't look to Wal-Mart.

Hoorah for for corporate monopolies!
I'm well aware that Wally World won't ever fire anyone who's willing to fight it. They have a hard enough time keeping any employees who have any kind of work ethic. Someone who is willing to put forth the effort to try to keep their job is at least showing a hint of effort, and that's better than most of the people who work there.

The shithole of a mall was supposed to get a Target, but for various reasons it never came to be.
That big empty space next to the movie theater used to be a K-Mart... that's been gone for 3 or 4 years now and has sat empty ever since.

There was this guy who worked with me in my old job - and was fucking terrible at it.
Every managerial decision had a grand conspiracy behind it designed to fuck over the staff, and every computer problem, no matter what, could be resolved by going into the registry and deleting stuff.
So he got fired when we had a 60% turnover rate - we couldn't keep enough people there to do the job, and yet they fired him for incompetance.
Flash forward 9 months, and I start in another company.
Who do I run into on the first day? Doofus.
Now, the thing is, Doofus has a slight disablility - not one that prevents him from doing the job, but a noticible one anyway.
So, of course, management in this job are afraid to fire him, no matter how much they want to, because they think he'll sue their asses.
There was much rejoicing when he left last month.

Did you imagine the final sound as a gun? Or the shattered windows of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?

People think they're funny when they haven't the wit
Others think they're gorgeous but inside they feel shit
Many think they're brainy but they haven't a clue
And I think I'm clever 'cause I'm singing this to you
We are wrong we are wrong we are oh so so wrong
We are monkeys (nanana)
We are false, we're untrue, we should be in the zoo
With our uncles (nanana)
And if you don't believe, go and climb up a tree
And you'll love it
You're a fool to believe any more so believe you're a monkey
Now all the clever monkeys telling us what to do
Telling us to stay in line and join the monkey queue
Thinking that they're special 'cause they went to private zoo
One day soon they're gonna end up in a monkey stew
They are wrong, they are wrong, they are oh so so wrong
