My wife and I went to Wal-Mart tonight to buy some gun cleaning stuff and I bought some barrel mops. When we got to the register we got carded for the mops . Can mops kill people Would anyone know why they would do this????
You're questioning why a WalMart employee does something? Think about it. Consider the quality of a lot of their employees.
They don't pay their help to make decisions, and for that we can be thankful given the high quality of help.
Now look at quite a few of the others. You'll find a lot more of those functioning at the lower levels than you'll find Chemist, Paralegal and Engineer.
Yup, low pay definitely plays a part.
It isn't all about low pay. It is really about the work ethic of the individuals employed by Wal-mart. I have worked different jobs as I have gotten older and have always given my best work regardless of the pay. I haven't found too many young people to have much of a work ethic.
Obviously your survey of a chemist, paralegal, and engineer is hardly an "adequate survey". You also might be surprised to know just the extent of my knowledge of Walmart employees and company, having a bit more interaction with them and the company than a "chemist, paralegal, and engineer".Unless you've adequately surveyed the education and intelligence levels of the majority of the employees at WalMart, you're making an ignorant assumption. If you're okay with ignorance, who am I to complain though, right?
As am I. No one said otherwise. I realize that some of those people are doing the best with what God gave them and some of them are operating with limited skills and abilities. Walmart is giving those people with limited skills opportunities to make a living, how ever limited, where otherwise they would not be able to compete in a higher tech market.I'm nice as pie every time I visit WalMart, I don't look down my nose or give an attitude or come off like I'm superior, I treat everyone as if they're a human being...I get pretty good service everywhere I go. Of course, I also understand what these people make, and I understand that everyone also has a bad day once in a while, but I can tell you that all of these people that I see folks ignorantly insulting with a broad brush treat me just fine.
Actually, I've met a few - degrees in challenging fields like "Art History" or "Medieval French Poetry" qualify you for little besides teaching positions and food service.How many waiters at 4-star restaurants have Masters degrees?

If you paid with cash then you should complain.
If you paid with a credit/debit card or check you should thank the cashier.
When she scanned the the item the register asked was I 18. I said you have to be 18 to buy barrel mops??? She said I guess so.
