Oops! Oh well, I was close........... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Tell me, why is it that someone being employed by Walmart a negative?

Oh boy, how many stigma's have ya heard already?
Unfortunately, it's not the employee, it's the company.
Wal*Mart in my area has a reputation for;

Treating their staff like school kids.  Unfortuately, the staff enables such behavior because;
Getting paid part time poverty wages by abusive management is better than standing up for yourself and leaving a bullsh!t job.
Did I mention poverty wages?  Get paid on the 5th, food stamps come on the 7th!
Inconsistent and unpredictable schedule.  They treat and pay people like #$%*, and still expect the staff to be ready 24/7.
Management will instantly and maliciously terminate an employee over gossip/rumors, or hysterical customer nonsense shouting and screaming and pointing at poor unsuspecting staff. (True story)

I sincerely hope that the state of corporate management style has or will make a radical change and enter some era of enlightenment.

That's any retail job these days, just ask anyone that works those gigs. Walmart did write the book on how to mistreat employees though and everyone else followed suit.

Walmart might be a decent gig there in E Texas.  I dont know.  Never been there.  :P
Anyone working at Walmart around here is typically pretty high on the 'crazy' part of the spectrum  ;D

IIWM, 25 years ago, I would have already asked her out.  Just sayin'  ::)

Yes. The Walmart near me has an equal balance of employee and customer craziness. Every time I walk in there (which isn't often) I see bizarre activity. It's a great place to peoplewatch. Last time I was in there I saw one of those Muslim women in all black with just the eyes exposed. The child was dressed the same, but the husband or father was wearing timberlands, a flannel, and gold chains like a rapper. The lady at the register looked like the one chick from "my 600lb life". Let me clarify, nothing against fat, or Muslim, but these two were ridiculous.

 You have to go back to the store CB750F and sneak a picture of her for all of us and then we will have a vote if she is good enough for you to marry and have your children and polish that pretty red CBX !!

I was cashing out at the local Walmart when she asked if I wanted bags for my items.  I told her it all had to go in my backpack as I am on a motorcycle.  She asked if I was on the Honda.  I told her the OLD Honda.  She said she loves old Hondas.  I was like really...  Sounds like a trap, but I dunno.  What do you guys think?

I'll get a pic after I verify with my friend as to the whereabouts of that dude/chick.  Dammit thinking too much about CBX's.  But I have too many projects already!  I got two Caddys, three bikes and really want a GT40 with an LS in it.

I bought a CBX when I was 24 years old.  It was a real struggle financially.  Still have it 28 years later...

 Proceed with caution and re-read RAF's post. There's wisdom in those words.
