The WalMart IQ test
Did you know that WalMart gives prospective employees an IQ test? Yup, because if you have an IQ you can’t work at WalMart.
Sorry, I know that’s not a nice thing to write. I’m venting today because of an extremely frustrating experience I had at my neighborhood Super WalMart. An abbreviated list of the highlights include several incorrectly programmed price tags, an inoperable debt card machine and a cashier with the apparent brain power of small reptile. Accentuating the reptilian motif was her periodic Komodo dragon tongue action that drove both Jean and me to distraction.
It took so long to get through the check out line, that my son Jack remarked that he thought he would miss high school.
It’s amazing what a person will put up with to buy cheaply made foreign goods.

I know how you feel so I couldn’t resist sharing a comment.
I can recall a time for me when out of what appeared to be an infinite number of check out lines, there couldn’t have been more than four or five cashiers. The lines were backed up so much, I just left my merchandise on the check out belt and walke out. I figured my time was worth more than any savings I may have received.
Shopping at Wal-Mart is definitely a last resort for me.
