BUSTED!
Sometimes Derek and I do go out .And sometimes while we are out we talk.The other day while out, we figured that we needed supplies so that meant WalMart.
I was driving,he was riding and the topic got around to what in the world was the purpose of the Wal Mart greeter.
Our Derek forever looking on the bright side thought they were there out of the goodness of the corporate heart and were given the jobs to make the old folks feel good about themselves.
Me "Not a chance .There is no way Wal Mart is giving jobs out for fun.
Our Derek"Well maybe they are there to stop shop lifters from escaping. Stop the stock shinkage."
Me "Ya right. Did you ever pay attention to the types that are stationed at the doors"
This back and forth continued until we got to the parking lot.
Once inside I got what I needed D got his stuff and we made our way to the checkout.While there I started talking to the woman infront of me and the cashier.A little light hearted banter about health food ,e-coli ,lettuce. You know grocery store talk. D jumped in the conversation and said some thing that was wrong. I kind of told him he was wrong the cashier said he was wrong and man he lost it.He went off like roman candle. I was laughing about it as we walked out past those hoops by the exits that set off alarms if you are stealing stuff.
Low and behold wouldn't you know the alarm went off.I knew it wasn't me . The greeters, there were two ,were after our Derek. The oldest ,about 70 ,had her finger up pointing at D to come over to her.We headed her way showing his cash slip and bag saying he paid for it all.The woman said she had to deactivate the chip inside his purchase. She was punching the codes or whatever into this big blue Star Trek thingy she had in her hand . I asked why? .Since we were already through the detectors and in two more feet we would be out of the store.She told me that's what they paid her for.
A revelation . The big question of the day answered! Who would have thought.
Seeing as that is what she got paid for I shoved my bottle of shampoo infront of her and asked for it to be deactivated.That kind of got her flustered. She started to mumble about reprogramming her Star Trek thing and how it was wasn't working right. I kept pushing the shampoo at her when her mate that hadn't said a thing up 'til now told me I was being ornery and I didn't need my shampoo deactivated.
By then D had had enough and walked out so I followed .
