I had the nastiest old guy try to talk to me. I was checking him out in electronics and he was complaining about the movies he was buying. He said the cost too much and he should wait till they are old and in the 5 dollar bin. he claimed that he knew they would be there cuz thats how walmart works and he used to work there before he became a teacher at his church. (Mind u this is like an old 50 year old) Anyway I said, "wow I wont be at walmart that long, Im in college to be a teacher also, I cant wait!"
You know that guy asked me why I wanted to be a teacher and said I was wasting my life! The nerve! I wasn like um no someone has to tech our children. He said that kids are bad and theres no hope and I was too pretty to worry about other peoples problems. I shouldnt have said anything but I told him "you know its the parents if you need someone to blame. Bad parents make bad children! And if the kids you teach dont listen its your fault for being a bad teacher and not knowing that to have the job is to work with the children and earn respect! Thats why its a job and thats how bosses control their workers! The fact you like children and have fun teaching is the plus!" oh man was he speechless and mad at me! He mumbled something and walked off to look at the phone. I felt very mad that someone can try to discourage you when they themself had done your proffesion. Whats up with that?!! You have nothing better to do with your time? How pathetic get away from me! And then he hunted me down later to him him find a case for his phone and was saying that none fit his and we should have one for his phone. I was like ok all the cases are here and while he was looking I started walking off saying I had to go to the bathroom and didnt go back till I knew that guy was gone! I thought it weird cuz he didnt ask the associate behind the counter for help..why go 2 isles over and bug me?? Was it because he wanted to annoy me or knew that I was a smart person and would know where his case was?...I wonder
