So how about these "greeters" every store has now a days. In theory its a good idea, have a friendly person meet you at the door, say a nice hello to you, make you feel a bit welcome. Thats all well and fine. But nine times out of ten when I go to wal mart or K-mart or any other mart for that matter, the greeter doesn't even say hello. They just stare me down and kind of watch as I walk by. Now I wouldn't have a problem if the greeter were say, actually friendly. However, usually the greeter is some creepy old cat lady. Once when I went to walmart I saw a greeter who had a straw hat with a bunch of fruit on it, kind of like the chiquita banana lady. She gave me the worst stare ever. I seriously thought she was going to start taking apples off her hat and throw them at me. Another thing I'm not really found of about wal mart is my friend bloody thumbs. Let me explain:

When I first moved here to New Albany, Indiana, John took me and Jamie to walmart so I could get a copy of his house key. We journeyed to the hardware section of walmart and found the key copy place. I asked the man if I could have a copy of this key, he said sure and I handed him the key. Now this is probably one of the sickest things I've ever seen. Upon stretching out his hand in which to recieve my key, I noticed something a bit different about his thumb. His thumbnail was literally hanging on by pretty much a hang nail, and blood was covering his whole thumb. He made the copy of the key, handed it back to me and the paper to which the key was attached was also covered with blood. I conviently lost that key a day later and went back when bloody thumbs wasnt around....... so who else has wal mart horror stories?
