I went to Wal-mart today. I was already irritable just from being tired & feeling as tho someone had kicked sand in my mouth, keeping me guzzling water like a fucking camel on the run from Baghdad. Oh and by the way, i quit smoking 10 days ago and was fighting with my Doctor over not getting my Valium filled on time. Now for those of you who truly know me, also know that i am not the most pleasant or amicable person even on my best day. But you take away my psych meds & nicotine & put me in a building full of morons, something bad is gonna happen. So it has already been a long day. When you live 30 miles from the nearest Wal-mart, and you drive and SUV, and gas is $4 a gallon, you tend to want to load up as much as you can at a time. You know… fewer trips & such. Ok, so after all the time the shopping itself took, I get in a checkout lane with only one person in front of me. After about 10 mins i start getting impatient. After 15 mins i was more irritated. I start looking over the woman to see what the hold up is. Ok, of course, she is cashing her wic vouchers & has gotten everything on them wrong. A few more mins go by and there are now 2 managers there trying to fix the problem. As i am getting more & more volatile as the seconds tick by… I locate the source of the problem. They are trying to find someone she understands… because the 12 kids hanging off of her buggy didn’t tip me off that she was a Mexican. I shove past her and move to another line to check out. It is an express lane, i tell the woman “look, i know i have more than 20 items, but i am not gonna stand here all day waiting for your bosses to find someone in this store who just happens to be bilingual. she says ok with a bit of a nervous giggle & checks all of my items. we finally arrive at the end of the process & the fucking debit card machine is not taking my card. it them takes me screaming profanity at the woman & 2 more ever so intelligent wal-mart managers to fix the fucking machine. Now i am equally disgusted that i have to pay the price not only for the fact that our government gives benefits to people who cant even read, write, or speak a word of fucking English, but also that during such a crucial economic downfall, the dumb ass employees at wal-mart aren’t being fired to provide jobs for people actually deserve to fucking live. these people are so stupid, and such a burden on the human race that i have to say the Chinese lead fiasco must have fucked them all up permanently. i can find no other reason for some much stupid to be in one place.
Thank you & Goodnight.
