Most of the time, when I give answers or recommendations on this site, it's because, either I or someone I know well, has done these things and they work.
Doing this 49 years has some advantages. The main thing I've learned over the years is..... I really like the sign business, both the old ways and the new ways......... it's the people that make it a b!tch..... but I guess that's any business.
I was in Walmart on Saturday looking for a particular item. I looked up and down where ya'd think it would be. I covered pretty much one half of the store. Finally saw a worker. Asked her where I could find electric stainless steel frying pans ?? She just kept walking. I asked her again, almost directly in front of me. She looked at me and shook her head, no. I repeated it again and she pointed to her name badge and said something in a language, I have no f*ckin' clue what she said. I didn't recognize one syllable. She started mumbling something and I just looked at her and said, what the f*ck are you working in this store for, if you can't speak f*ckin' English ?? She smiled and started walking away. My wife was angry that I spoke those foul words and I said, what's it matter, she can't understand anything. Walked down the aisle and found another worker, this guy had a mask on up to his eyes. I addressed him and he kept walking. I yelled to him and he turned around and said something hard to understand, but I knew it was spanish and he motioned that he doesn't speak any English. I just laughed and told my wife, let's get the f*ck outta this place. It's like little havana here. Walked out the door and the guy who makes sure you're not stealing anything said something to me in spanish. I can't go shopping in my own town, anymore. So, y'all can use that tidbit of information, too, unless you speak multiple languages. Stay the F*CK outta Walmart if you need help.
