People of Walmart

Ok I'm sure we have all seen the "people of walmart" website.  And I KNOW we have all seen these "people of walmart" in real life.  Hell some of you might even be one of them.  But yesterday I encountered one on a whole new level.  Let me start by saying I LOOOOVE shopping at walmart on the holidays.  (Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter)  The stores are just about empty.  Kinda like if you go late at night when they are restocking everything. 

Anyway, yesterday I didn't really have any real shopping that needed to be done but I DID need bandaids badly.  SO I stopped.  I went right to the bandaid aisle and of course don't you know the whole store is empty except for the one totally skeeevy guy standing in the middle of all the bandaids.  I didnt want to get to close to him cause he was really dirty and nasty and gross.  I stood as far back as I could till I found the bandaids I like.  They are those "nexcare" ones that are like a diamond shape and stick all the way around.  I like the waterproof ones because they are very thin and they are clear.  So I finally see the ones I like but there were 2 different options.  There was a multi size box and a regular "non waterproof" box with all large bandaids.  So I pick up both boxes to compare.  After looking at them I decide on the multi size box of water proof ones.  I thought the small ones would be good for the little cuts on my knuckles.  So I put the box I don't want back and grab 2 of the ones I DO want.  So the guy looks at me and tells me "Those are $2!"  I just kinda looked at him like "yeah, and?"  So he sticks this other box in my face and says "these are 96 cents!"  So I tell him I like the ones I picked up.  So now he is obviously getting upset with my choice of bandaids and he tells me that the ones I picked up "suck".  So I tell him I like them.  Then he sticks his nasty ass gross hand in my face that has a bandaid on it that was so dirty and nasty it was falling off.  I swear the guy hadn't bathed in 2 weeks.  He tells me "See look they don't even work".   I could not back up fast enough from him.  I throw the bandaids in the basket and try to walk away and he was continuing on about how the bandaids suck.  I tell him "I use them all the time.  They work great.  They are all I use"  Then I walk away and I hear him grunt and he starts bitching "Whatever.  If you wanna spend that kind of money, but these are only 96 cents......."  he drifted off as I turned the corner of the aisle.

Seriously what a freak show.  Why in the world would it even matter to him (or anyone for that matter) what bandaids I use????  But man did I piss him off because I got the $2 bandaids.  LOL  What a freak show!
