Speaker 1: So.

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: I had a very humbling experience yesterday. I went to

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: the good old fashioned Wally World Walmart. I had to

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: pick up some stuff yesterday, and I walk in when

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: there's like a display shelf and I'm behind this older

19
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: gentleman who is pushing a cart and we both were

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: turning the same corner. So as he was training the corner,

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: he nicked to the merchandise that was on the shelf

22
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: and a board game fell on the ground. It was

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: like sorry or trouble or whatever, right, and then he

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: just kept walking. So I was like, okay, well maybe

25
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: a you don't know you did it be you don't care,

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. But of course, me being like everywhere

27
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: I go I have to feel like I work there,

28
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: So I'm like, let me pick this up for him.

29
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: Right.

30
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't want there just be this game

31
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: on the floor, right, So I get down. I'm a

32
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: bad knee, right, and I pick up the board game.

33
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: Now as I'm trying to restock it back on the shelf,

34
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: they all start avalanching on me. Okay, like the shelf

35
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: was like hilted, weird, so like i'd put one up

36
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: five wood fall like I was, and I'm just like

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: they're falling all around me. I'm trying to pick them up.

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: And then the man who I guess just stocked the

39
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: shelf walks over to me and is like he's like,

40
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: can I help you? Are you already breaking my display?

41
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh wow.

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: I was like I I didn't do it, like someone

43
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: knocked it off and I picked it up and he's

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: just looking at me like I know you're lying, and

45
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: I'm like I'm not lying like I did this, and

46
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: he goes he gives me the just leave it just

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: and I'm like, damn, I'm so sorry. So then as

48
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: I go to get up off my bad knee, I

49
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: put my hand on the shelf. More fall off because

50
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: now I'm tilting the shelf to get up, and I

51
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: just had to walk away. And I can't stop thinking

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: about it, because what does this man think about me?

53
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: Now he thinks I trashed his display that he probably

54
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: works so hard to make so nice and pretty for

55
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: the holiday season.

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: To help I know.

57
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: And now I'm like, oh man, I'm so sorry to

58
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: this man who works at Walmart, and it mean it.

59
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: You should have knocked him all down. You know, you.

60
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: Don't really work for it. It looks like trash. Anyway,

61
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: I did it wrong, That's what I'm following.

62
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you worked in retail. I worked in retail. Who

63
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: else we in retail? I did? Jus can you relate

64
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: to like the way that everything had to be full?

65
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: Like I worked in clothing retail. I worked in a

66
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: few different retail, but everything had to be folded a

67
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: certain way, and like the display had to be sway.

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: So I got to the point like towards the end

69
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: of the night where I would like mean mug people

70
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: who'd come into the store that I already straightened out,

71
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: and it would like I'd like follow them around and

72
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: meet I mean, like, this is terrible, it's a terrible

73
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: experience for these customers. But I would follow them around

74
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: and mean mug them, and if they went to touch something,

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: I'd be like, no, no, no, you know what, allow me

76
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: because I could get it off the shelf without screwing

77
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: up the whole display. And to this day if I

78
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: go to and I don't know if this annoys people

79
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: in like you know, North stim or whatever, but to

80
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: this day, if I go to a place and there's

81
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: a stack of clothes and someone's helping me, I'll be like, well,

82
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: you get it, because I know that you can get

83
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: it without me screwing this whole thing up, which means

84
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have to refold the whole thing or

85
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: you know whatever, because you know people don't care, they'll

86
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: go in there. If if you ever worked in retail,

87
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: if you never if you don't know the pain of

88
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: having to re fold a whole stack of clothing because

89
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: somebody just grabbed, then you don't understand or care, but

90
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: people will just they'll just trash it, man, and then

91
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: you got to do the whole thing again. Yeah, that

92
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: was frustrating.

93
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: Or right before closing when they came in.

94
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: You know, Oh yeah, I'd follow people if it was like,

95
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, we closed it eight and it was seven

96
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: forty five, like, do not touch it, like don't like

97
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: just man if you want to leave, Like it's also

98
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: fine if you don't buy anything and just go home,

99
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: like go home to your family. There. The same way

100
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: at Blockbuster too. It's like we'd straighten the whole store

101
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: and then somebody would come in and like just start

102
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: and say, oh I got to do it, and you're

103
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: supposed to do it when the store closes for that reason.

104
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: But no, we wanted to leave, you know, so we

105
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: so we'd follow people around and stare at him, give

106
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: them looks. It's a miracle they didn't have like the

107
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: same kind of you know, Google reviews and things that

108
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: they have now, because I would have gotten fired instantly.

109
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they had secret shoppers back in the day.

110
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: It would come in and like shop. I think they

111
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: still do this, but they would come in and shop

112
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: the store. But they were so obvious.

113
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: You know.

114
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: They'd come in and they would ask questions that nobody

115
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: else would ask, like, you know, excuse me, Fred, can

116
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: you tell me about the buy one, get one free

117
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: special that's available now through November. You know, it's like, yes,

118
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: I can. I'd be more than happy to help explain

119
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: that to. You know, I don't know, they weren't they

120
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: weren't slick, you know, or they some of them would

121
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: even come in with their little checklist and it's like, really,

122
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: thank you, you know, and of course they got exceptional service,

123
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: because I think we're writing it all down. But yes,

124
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: I the pain chasing the pain of

125
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: This guy think I trashed his work
