Before today, I have never walked out of Wal-Mart with a smile on my face. I am usually pissed off at one of the following; poor service, crappy products, annoying staff, disgusting staff, slow people walking down the aisles, trashy people, kids screaming and running around, creepy people, and always my favorite creepy, weird staff. I always think it will be fun to go there and just look around, but usually after ten minutes I am so irritated that on occasion I have just put everything I have in my arms on a random shelf and walked out. Not only that, while I am trying to walk out the dumb people walking in can't read the ENTER or EXIT sign and usually are blocking me from leaving. Then you enter the parking lot which is basically a free for all. People driving the wrong way down the lanes, lazy fat people walking down the middle of the lanes, and kids running around nearly getting hit by the old timers who are driving a car that they have no idea how to drive.
All of that being said I had the experience of a lifetime at Wal-Mart tonight. Now I did have to ignore a lot of the usual things that happen but here it is. As we were walking in we saw what looked like the typical greeter. He fooled us good with his mullet and missing teeth. As soon as we were close to him he gave a full extended arm wave and a very enthusiastic HI YA'LL AND WELCOME TO WAL-MART. This typically would have appalled me but this guy was so happy and enthusiastic it took every ounce of my energy not to high five the guy.
We finish our shopping and pay and we are now on our way out. We thought we could sneak out without having to say anything to the greeter but once again we mis-judged him. HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR CHOOSING WAL-MART. I responded back to the man with a thank you and take care. He refused to let me have the last word and once again gave an enthusiastic response, YOUR WELCOME AND HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.
If this guy doesn't win employee of the month, then I want to meet the guy who did because he must be a class act.

Oh Flick! This story made me laugh and miss wal mart all at the same time. I agree, the greeter should definitely get Employee of the Month. :)
