Can you believe I lasted less than a day as a retail store greeter
A few hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman came into the store with her two children, yelling at them all the way through the entrance.
As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, ‘Good morning, and welcome. 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 nine, and the other one’s seven. 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 someone would make a baby with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.’
The HR department said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work.
