Why does Walmart not reduce my total if I was the one who checked myself out? Shouldnt they pay me for working for them?

Jay Leno made a joke about this last night on the Tonight Show. He say that Wal-Mart and other stores were giving customers the "opportunity" to scan their things. He then joked about the use of the word, "opportunity." He said, "Didn't that used to be called a 'job'?"

I agree, Linda! But, the Walmart that I shop (which is in the ghetto) never has all of their self check-out lanes open. Only one side is open (because the workers don't do their job and people stole a bunch of stuff), and of that one side, half are out of order. Ridiculous! ugh.

Wow! I'm loving the grammar in my comment- "he say." (That snickering you hear is the sound of my students cracking up at Mrs. Disch's grammar faux pas!) This is why we proofread!

I think they should have a timer on you so that the quicker you get checked out, the more the refund they give you for checking yourself out.

MK has the same philosophy. He absolutely refuses to use the self-checkout and says that the workers need to earn their pay! Hilarious.

Stay seated like Jesus!

By
I overheard Zoe playing school last night. She was calling roll and being very enthusiastic for each child. She would welcome them in the class and even comment on how nice they looked. I recognized names of kids in her class as she called them and she had family members as well. Then I heard.... "Jesus". And a second later she replied "here." (as she had for each child) Tyson: Zoe, Jesus doesn't go to school. He already knows everything. Zoe: Tyson, do not talk out in class or I will pull your card. A few minutes later...... Zoe: No you can not go to the restroom. You need to get in your seat now! Why cant you stay in your seat like Jesus? SMILE!

Prayer for Tyson

By
I want to ask you to pray for Tyson. (and me) He came home from school on Wednesday upset because some boys were saying "Your Momma is so fat ...... " jokes. He was really bothered by this. He also said that they were teasing him about a girl in his class. They were saying Tyson loves ___. And he replied. Yep, the Bible says we should love everyone. So then the boys laughed and were joking about him wanting to marry the world. (keep in mind these are second graders) So, Tyson then tells me that he says to them that they need to be his friend because he reads the Bible and loves God. He told them that making fun of people and saying ugly words is a sin and God hates sin! I asked him if he really said that and he said "not out loud, but in my head." (smile) I told him that I was proud of him for at least thinking it. I talked to him about how the Momma jokes were not about me specifically and to just ignore them. He was quiet for several minutes and then he started to...
