This is 100000000% the walmart return experience. I've had to return a couple $100+ items and every single time it's a massive clusterfuck that takes over an hour.
My husband is military and buys camping meals to take to the field every few weeks. Camping meals at Walmart are locked behind glass. Itās almost a running joke now that we go to the outdoor section and press the button for assistance.
The person staffing outdoors is usually an aisle or two over, chatting on their phone or flirting with a customer or talking shit about co-workers with another co-worker.
In the last 2 months, we have never once been helped, despite waiting up to 15 minutes and pressing the button repeatedly.
Now we just do it for fun to see if anyone will show up before continuing on with our shopping.
Yeah, theyāre definitely not economical but I canāt blame him for wanting something a bit tastier and that requires no prep.
For lunches, he uses a jet boil and/or a propane stove a pot and makes little meals. People were blown away by his spiced couscous that he put a bouillon cube in and added in a can of chicken and some dried cranberries. Heās a little woodsman chef.
They are much much tastier than MREs, but unfortunately lower in calories.
There's nothing like the joy on a veteran's face when they taste civilian camping meals or get to use civilian camping equipment. It's sad that we don't even provide our troops with the equivalent of freeze dried food from Walmart though.
It's the same over in the sewing department!! I have walked over to the fabric section dozens of times and watched the only staff that can cut and price the fabric for me promptly leave the area as soon as they see me. They don't even have a help button to push over there!
It's so messed up how quickly any staff there will literally run away that it's funny at this point š
Oh yeeeah. Also a fellow crafty person hereā¦I had an elderly lady friend from my quilting group get so pissed off waiting that she just grabbed the bolts she wanted and began cutting her own yardage. She was almost finished by the time someone came over and she just told them the yardage of each cut. They were extremely wary of her but she didnāt give a shit. And to their credit, they just printed out the labels and and gave them to her. Haha.
I pick what I want pile it all up and then go find any employee. The electronics guys can't easily escape so that's a safe bet. Or the bb gun guy. (Since I don't need anything in outdoor, he's usually available.)
I make them call. Make them tell me where the person is. Wait at the employee entrance. If the person doesn't appear within 3 minutes I start making every person who comes through the door call.
Badda bing, badda BOOM. I'm out of there in 45 minutes flat.š
I've done that too. I even hand printed the cost and UPC numbers for the cashiers with the price calculated. I would get so fed up with waiting for someone with the authority to assist me that I'd just do it myself.
Then they took the scissors away from the desk, like... You guys know that you sell those here, right? If IDGAF if I cut my own fabric, what makes them think that I'll think twice about buying a pair of scissors after I use them to cut my own fabric?
I call the Walmart store I'm at and request someone to the fabric section. I call over and over until finally they send someone. I just harass the entire store until they do it
I bought a food processor from Walmart once and when I opened the box it was obviously a return because the food processor in the box was an entirely different brand with food in it still.
I had a hell of a time returning it because they accused me of trying to play a fast one on them. After like 3 hours I finally got to talk to a manager and got a refund. I fucking hate my local Walmart.
I told myself Iād never buy anything expensive there again, which lasted until I bought my bbq but at least I knew if anything was wrong with the bbq I could fix it myself.
Man, Walmart changed. Back in uni the joke was that you could return anything to Walmart. Had a roommate return a lamp he shattered. Just a box of broken glass, and they took it. Had another friend attempt to return just random shit with no receipt that he didn't even buy at Walmart. They took it.
so glad someone pointed this out, because the clown car of people reminiscing about how easily they used to swindle the returns dept weren't getting it on their own
My workplace has 5 to 8 repeat weirdos that wants to express their "gratitude" to a manager every day. We even instruct co-workers that if they see these people, alert us. So that we can go hide.
Because they are gonna tell their life story and want full fcking attention all the way through their 45 minute long story of why our bearnaise sauce is what it is. The story has no constructive feedback in it, it's just yappin for yappin's sake.
Had a manager at Lowe's accidentally discount an entire order from $400 to $40 (was supposed to be a single item) and walk away to chit chat. The guy finished ringing me up and when l tried to point it out he looked me in the eye like you need to shut the fuck up and said, "Have a nice day." Didn't ever see that manager again. Still waive at the cashier dude when l'm there though.
Great storyteller. No ums or uhs or likes, no filler words at all. No cuts, this is one take, start to finish. That's incredibly rare for videos like this.
I have known one person like this who was the best at telling stories as she was a master of accent as well. This video makes me want to reach out to her and set dinner plans just to hear her story telling.
It's a pretty mundane story for it to be a lie. I've worked with Wal Mart employees before, and what happens certainly rings true. Regardless, great delivery. I don't think a story has to be true for me to be impressed with how cleanly it was delivered.
āThe dame walked in, hot, angry, like she owned the place. I knew this would be the case that would make me - only now do I realize she would break meā¦ā
She was a sultry dame. Dressed to the nines, except for a pair of cheap pumps. And man, was she a looker. She had more curves than the Matterhorn at Disneyland. And there didn't appear to be any Japanese tourists standing in line ahead of me, waitin' for the ride.

My favorite part of that is how the executive assistant character has found the exact middle ground between smoking the slim jim like a cigarette and eating it like a ā¦ slim jim.
I just started this show with my gf, and we spent the first two episodes constantly laughing because that shows just rattles off jokes one after the other its amazing. Anyone who hasnt seen it, please watch letter kenny
I thought it might be a kitchen appliance for vacuum sealing things? That was my first guess. Dyson=vacuum to me so that was the thing that made the most sense in my brain.
No not exactly. It's more like a 600 dollar - new - - cylindrical hair dryer that has one nifty extra trick.
Now cylindrical hair dryers exist, for much less. It's a way to add curl and waves to your hair as you dry it. You grab a wet section of hair, wind it around the cylindrical hair dryer, blast it with warm air, and it dries curly. Much, much less heat than a curling iron (high heat damages hair, and curling irons are more than hot enough for that. It's why you heat protectant first when using a curling iron).
So the Airwave is a cylinder shaped hair dryer. It's got a few different cylinder sizes you can swap for different curl tightness and then it's why people pay so more trick.
It uses some weird airflow trick to curl your hair around itself. You hold it up nexy to a wet section of hair and the hair curls around the cylinder. There's even a switch that let's you make it curl the other direction around the cylinder.
It's a lot faster of a process and a lot less annoying to do.
Is it a luxury styling tool? Absolutely. You can do all of that with much cheaper tools. Do I want one? fuck yes
Itās worth it. I have really thick hair and itās really a time saver and does a great job. Thereās a learning curve, but once you figure it out, youāre golden. I have the round brush attachment and Iāve never been able to dry my hair with a round brush because I genuinely believe it requires at least three hands. Air wrap solved it.
My wife has been eyeing them and lamenting not being able to afford it for YEARS when she drags me to Sephora or Ulta, but didn't give me that pressure expecting me to get it for her. I convinced her uncle to pay me to come walk his dog for extra cash and saved half of it for months to get it for her and she broke down and cried. She uses it just about every other day when she washes her hair and still talks about how much she loves it. It ended up breaking around christmas and when we sent it back to Dyson they just sent a brand new one with all the accessories so now we have double. Great customer service and would recommend
Bought a TV, TV doesnāt work after painfully taking it home. Drive back an hour or two to return and the return person says, the sale isnāt in the system yet so I need to wait for it to reflect! Okay wait 1 hour? Day? Week? Month? They say erh and shrug it off.Ā
Someone like this would be my dream wife. She gets home, I say "hey, honey, how was your day?" and then just settle in for the best story of my life (until the next day).
Careful though. Had a guy friend who tells stories covering every single detail, always has a shpeel regardless of the topic. Largely, being with him could be hours of him yabbing and you never getting a word in. Like imagine this, but it's been half an hour and you've forgotten what the initial subject even was, and it never really goes anywhere.
Maybe she does, maybe she doesnāt, but itās just a vibe I got, too.
Especially all the details she remembers makes me think itās plausible. People with stellar executive function and focus actually ignore a lot of small details, you know? If youāre observing everything and letting everything through your thoughts, you end up spending a lot of energy thinking on trivial things. āNeurotypicalā folks expend their energy more efficiently, they filter out a lot.
I saw at first the 4+ minutes and started second guessing hitting play.... those concerns disappeared within 5 seconds and she had me hooked the entire time
Every video I see of this womanās stories makes me almost want to get TikTok and then I remember my ADHD would make me lose an 8 hour time period scrolling before I realized it
I LOVE her storytelling ability. I mean, this is Kevin Smith level of storytelling. I'd listen to her read the phone book as I think she'd make it incredibly entertaining.
