Now, ironically, I got a job at Wal-Mart because I felt that I wasn't really appreciated working at Fazoli's. I really liked working third shift because to me it was the perfect combination of customer service and work.
But then I moved to days. Talk about useless. My supervisor even tells me constantly that I'm useless. Couldn't be any clearer on that. Just the idea of cleaning up after hundreds of complete strangers daily makes me want to strangle about three hundred of them. That would reduce my workload considerably, prison term notwithstanding.
Actually, Wally World is a lot less snobby than the folks I worked for at Target. Much like McDonald's was a lot less snobby than Burgerville. I enjoyed both, but not hearing "That's such a ______ thing to do" is really nice.
But then again, Wal-Mart wants to be more like Target. I ask you, why does #1 want to immitate #2? Makes no sense to me. Target should be more like Wal-Mart so they can steal the Marketshare, right? Not once when I worked for Target did anyone say, "Hey, we should do this - it works for Wal-Mart, right?" But Wal-Mart is in the process of remodeling hundreds of stores so we look more like Target. It doesn't make sense to me. I mean, does Coke try to be more like Pepsi? NO! They tried that once and utterly failed. And the reason people shop at Target instead of Wal-Mart is the same as the reason that people drink Coke or Pepsi- They like it better.
So maybe we should all just keep trying to be better versions of ourselves instead of being somebody else entirely. That way, everybody can keep having the different things they really want.
