Update on Walmart
by Sadie5 ini work wed-sunday, 4pm-9pm, so i went in yesterday and as expected the manager and assistant manager cornered me.
they were not happy that i had called the district manager and told him about using sales clerks to unload trucks.
and they said they weren't going to have me unload a truck.. then the manager asked if i could start working until 11pm and when i said no because i have to get home and take care of my mother, he said i will most likely be off the schedule to work at all the assistant manager kept saying i might be used in another department where i could keep my hours, but the manager kept saying don't be surprised if my name isn't on the schedule.. will have to see how this turns out.. i feel at peace right now if this is the way walmart is going to be.

Could you all please send me some good vibes, thoughts or prayers?
by Sadie5 indropped off my resume and application at a different place.
i would love it if i got called for an interview tomorrow, and got hired to start in 2 weeks.
i called bentonville to see if this was wal-mart's policy: hire women to work as sales clerks and then tell them they have to unload trucks.

I really don't want or need them for friends anyway
by Sadie5 injust dropping in for a short visit.
the last couple of weeks i have run into quite a few witnesses at wal-mart where i work.
most of them talk to me, in fact one asked for my help yesterday in picking out some clothes, she had just had a masectomy and needed some new blouses.. it was right after that i ran (almost litereally) into another one this one i usually just see from a distance so didn't know if she saw me or not before this but here we were standing face to face.

We're always being asked for our SSN
by Sadie5 inour little town's public library started a policy where to continue to borrow books we had to provide a copy of our driver's license.
i refused saying if they wanted to see my dl each time i borrowed some books to prove my id but i wasn't going to have a copy of my dl somewhere in there files where who knows who has access to them.. now they come up with another policy where you have to list your ssn, provide a photograph to be put on file in order to take out books.
this includes children too.

For everything under the sun, there is a fee
by Sadie5 inwe rarely use our home phones to make long distance phone calls, we've got cell phones that include long distance with the minutes.
one of my friends worked for our local phone company and she asked us to sign up for a long distance plan with the company.
she would get something just for signing us up.
