Cashier
Why do people wait in line 15 minutes just to ask, “Is this the only line open?” Yes. Yes, it is. And now we’re both stuck here questioning our life choices.
What was the most stupid question that's been asked to you as a Walmart associate?

Dogs
Why do we allow dogs to enter the store? Is it a good idea? Is it even hygienic?
This shouldn’t be normal

I deserve some respect you know

Absurd
