But in reality, the reason I don't shop at WalMart is because they suck.

I needed new tires for my car. My dad bought them online at WalMart and had them shipped to a store down here. Monday I got a call that my tires were in, and I ran over to the store (to the Tire and Lube Express) to see if I could have them installed. This was at 5PM. The sign says they close at 7PM. I was told that it would be 2.5 hours before they could even start on my car. (Brings an entirely new meaning to the word "express".) I told the guy I had things to do, and I couldn't hang around WalMart that long. I asked him if it was possible to make an appointment to have the tires that I had ordered from them put on.
"First come, first served. Do you have to work tomorrow?"
"Yes, actually, I do. And then I have someplace to be every other evening this week."
"We open at 7- you can get here right when we open; there shouldn't be much of a wait."

So, I head over there at 6:45 AM yesterday morning. At 7, I go inside. Register is not open yet. The girl walks up to the register and opens it at 7:05. At this point, the manager walks in. She asks, "Can I help you?"
"I ordered tires, they came in yesterday, and I'd like to have them put on."
Manager: "We don't start tire work until 9AM."
Me: "But you open at 7AM."
Manager: "I'm a little short-handed."
Me: "I really need my tires put on."
Manager: "Why? Do you have to go to work?"
Me: "Yes."
Manager: "What time do you have to be there?"
Me: "I'm usually there now."
Manager: "I guess I can put them on for you. It will take about an hour."

Gee, guy! Thanks for agreeing to do your job. Especially since no one else was there to have their car serviced at the time! That was absolutely stellar of you! Rock on!

Also, why did they keep asking if I had a job? I don't think I look unemployed. And I don't know if they've heard this, but many women today have jobs.
