The package store is up the road a mile or so in Grayson

Earlier this week I made a morning stop by Walmart because they have my Equate 4mg lozenges for half the price of the grocery stores and I needed my nicotine fix. I went ahead and grabbed some beer too, you know, for later in the afternoon. Trashy confirmed. Weekday mornings are nice and slow at Walmart so I didn't have to deal with crowds and things that make me hate. As I approach the front of the store, an employee says "Hey Bass Pro Shops!" I was wearing a BPS trucker hat, so I stopped and turned around, and it's just a Walmart employee smiling at me while leaning on one of those aisle pallets. I gave him a thumbs up and a smile, thinking that's weird, but it's Walmart so whatever. I get to self checkout, everything goes fast and smooth. As I'm traversing the front of the store where they have the ancillary services, the bank has a lady walk out and call me by name. So I stop and try to figure out if it is a lady in my neighborhood or how I know this lady that she knows my name, I say hi, and kind of stand there for a couple seconds trying to put it together. She just looks at me. I say "did you call me by my name?" No I wasn't wearing a name tag, thinking I did not recognize her and she says "No I was just saying hello". So I say "hello" and continue making my way to the exit, starting to get a Truman Show feeling. As I approach the greeter with my receipt in hand, he walks by me to another employee who called him over, and I overheard "yeah I was trying to talk to a customer and they didn't want to talk to me" and they weren't referring to me, but another customer. So I calmed myself down by assuming there's some new Walmart mantra to give the chick fil a treatment to customers and it wasn't working out well. Is that the case? Do I have early onset dementia? Was it all just random?

Nicotine by the medicine, so they engage to deter theft.

You are losing your sanity.
Seek professional help.

"Where's Loganville?"


Old people will know

Most transitioning folks in/around Loganville are called “Deeprig”.

Not that strange that they said that.

A lot of times it's some retired mawmaw just trying to get insurance or some spending money, either that or some kid on the spectrum who is earning a check. I try not to be a dick to people who are just doing what they were told and probably can only function with that task. It's 30 seconds of my time and a lot of times being courteous to them and exchanging pleasantries gets a smile from them. Why be a tool to someone just trying to make a living over a policy they have no input on? Don't be thief, let them do their once over, say 'Good morning/afternoon/etc, and tell them "have a blessed/good day". FFS.

The people showing a bit of humanity and empathizing with other humans aren't the problem here. It's the people who whine and moan about everything and instead of contacting the people who actually make the policies they cause an issue with the poor minimum wage worker who is doing nothing more than the task they were given that quite literally has zero effect on you as a consumer outside of the 15-30 seconds of looking at items not bagged.
