(The spark is multi-use: Presently, it's a way to identify employees from the back. On Black Friday, it can serve as a target for the rioters to focus the pressure necessary to cut off oxygen. We learned in our crowd management videos that 300 pounds of pressure for three minutes is all it takes.)

There was a question earlier about whether I had a hard time affording the new wardrobe. No, because I can still wear jeans- although I did have to buy a few shirts with collars and will probably buy a few more because of the dusty/dirty nature of my job- and even though I'm making about minimum wage, I am working full-time unlike a lot of Walmart employees. I also have fewer people to support, no kids to feed, and lower expenses in general.



There are a few women in their twenties working the door at Walmart, but, overall, the greeters' pool is a bad place to trawl for dates unless you're into the whole "Harold & Maude" thing.
