WalMart Tire and Lube

Today I thought I would be nice and get the van serviced while I shopped at Wal Mart.  So I pulled up beside the sign that said, "Wait here for attendant" and I waited. Not quite sure which side of the cones to be parked at.  I waited pretty long.  Finally a pudgy man about my age with crooked teeth and an air about him came out and asked if he could help. I told him I'd like the oil changed and he began with "You can start by pulling up over here" he said, "You're in the way over there". So I pull over where he tells me too and he's like, "You can get out of the van"  while rolling his eyes.  So I put the window up and start to hop out of the van and he says all smart Alick-y, "You didn't need to put the window up" So I put the window back down and he says, "You could have left it up"  So I turn off the van and again before I can get out he stops me with his annoying, "You didn't have to turn the vehicle off"  rolling his eyes.  Oh my word! What is wrong with this guy.  So I went to turn it back on and he's like, "If the keys are in it just let if off"  It took me more than one round of shopping to get over this.

  1. What is it with pudgy and impatient service men at WalMart?? :P I have gone often enough that the guy is starting to seem nice enough, but the last time he leaned in OVER ME to check the oil type label in the windshield, before allowing me to get out. I was NOT impressed and neither was my husband when I told him!! :P He stank too....sweaty!! Ugh!

  5. Same pudgy men will go about their business and completely ignore you while you stand there patiently waiting....Not even prolonged throat clearning, key jangling, or signigicant coughs get there attention.
