Opis

This little book, The Walmart Cashier, is really "Off the Wal." It has Walmart Stories--the stories are all true--like this one: Returning to the sales floor after a break, I was approached by a woman who saw my name tag. "Sir, can you tell me where the nuts are?" "Ma'am," I said, "this is Walmart. The nuts are everywhere." This admittedly quirky book has trivia questions like "Which U.S. presidents died on the 4th of July?" It has an unusual chapter about celebrities and their birth names. (Who are Anna Mae Bullock and Caryn Elaine Johnson?) It has a number of insights and observations about Walmart and how it makes such big profits. In spite of itself. Ronn Medow is a part-time cashier at a Walmart store in Reno, Nevada. His time at work is an odd combination of amusement and frustration. Many times Ronn has muttered to himself or to no one in particular, "If you can't be excellent, at least be competent." He has also asked himself why management would ever want to listen to him. "What do I know? I just talk to the customers."
