Wal*Mart

I have always joked that you know where you go for lying? WAL*MART.......It is not my favorite place for many reasons! So the other day I had to go to Sam's Club (Not quite as bad but still affiliated) because like it or not, sometimes it is just cheaper; I mean a lot cheaper than any place in town. After completing my shopping I was walking back to the truck and noticed an elderly lady standing in the parking lot talking to two men about something, feeling a bit nosey I walked down the isle of cars next to mine to get a better listen. As I approached it became very evident that she had misplaced her car and was completely turned around in the parking lot. Then the shock hit me, the men helping her were employees of Sam's club, now it has been my experience in the past that Wal*Mart / Sam's Club employees would much rather have a root canal without laughing gas, than help any customer especially someone that did not want to buy something. Imagine my surprise to find these men helping this little old woman find her car,
load all of her purchases for her, and make sure that she that she had everything that she needed.

This event made me wonder: just because you don't like a cooperation's values doesn't mean that the people working there have no values, or do not care. Who knows what would have happened if these gentlemen did not help out.


WHAT A WORLD!
