After overcoming our first initial shock, we advanced on the newly finished, squeaky, laminate tiles. We turned and saw a lady hanging clothes on a rack. If we were smart enough, we would have turned back and ran away screaming right then. We didn't know better, so we proceeded.
She was doing something with a rack and clothes but I really don't remember that part in detail. Her Blue shirt and larger glasses made her quite the wal-mart type. My mom wanted to find this Fourth stuff right away and get out of there, so she started the conversation.
"Hi, we are looking for some Fourth of July decorations. Usually wal-mart has all of that seasonal stuff right when you walk in, but we didn't see any!"
"Oh, you are looking for that, do you want the kind of sea salt that you use to make ice cream, or just regular kitchen sea salt?"
"Um hm, yeah..." This was a little bit strange.
"Oh, you don't have any of that yet, nope!" The employee said with a nice grin on her face.
"Ok, thank you!"
We just walked away trying not to bust out laughing while we were still in earshot.
And this, reader, is why you don't ask questions to wal-mart employee.
The End

Um...ok. One of those conversations that deserves an "awkward turtle!" haha.
ReplyDeleteI had one of those incidents when I was looking for a mechanical pencil, and accidently dropped it on an employee who was doing inventory. She threw it back at me!
