Just plain wrong

[Rocinante]

I was in our local Wal Mart tonight to get some dog training pads for our little dog. I know that's not right but the nearest pet store is 30 miles away and half the time they don't have them in stock.
Anyway when I was heading toward the checkout there was some music playing over the store speakers. Most of the cashiers were just standing around waiting for someone to checkout, and one of them started moving around a little bit to the music.

All of a sudden some red faced jerk comes racing in yelling at the top of his lungs. It was the store manager. He ordered her to come with him and within just a couple of minutes she was running out of the store, crying, and I heard her say to one of the other cashiers that she had been fired. I doubt she was offered severance pay.

My dog will shit on newspaper or even the bare floor before I set foot in a Wal Mart again.

1. That guy must have been on angel dust...

...or some other drug that makes you mean, because I can't figure out why bopping to music is a termination offense... Whacko!

2. Newspaper works fine.

3. And you didn't say anything to him?????

I would have blasted that idiot...when I was done with him he would have been a quiver mess,curled up in a ball in the corner,sucking his thumb and mumbling to himself,"find your happy place...find your happy place".

BTW,what are training pads....I'm a dog lover and have never heard of them...the only breed I will own are Labs so maybe its a little dog thing.

4. It didn't happen like that

The bastid called her to his 'office'.
Hell I didn't have a clue that she would be fired. Me, well I try to not be a badass.
Training pads are for puppies and for select freepers.

5. Write to Wal-Mart CorpHQ

And send copies to your local newspapers, the township council, and as many "interested parties" as you can.

I know the managers in each of the two Wal-Marts near where I live. They bend over backwards to be nice to the employees -- each understands that Wal-Mart's policy is that people should be used like toilet paper. All employees should be treated as well, but if it doesn't happen locally, it doesn't happen.
