O man. When I worked at Wal-Mart... I was pregnant, right. And so, my managers were -super- strict about me not picking up heavy objects - which means I wasn't allowed to stock, or pick up bed in a bag sets or anything else besides go grab crap from customer service to put back, zone my area, or sometimes help push stuff down the line on the unloading trucks. oh. And cut fabric. I worked in domestics (bedding, bath, curtains, that stuff)....

I've just cleaned up eleventy billion rugs that someone had laid out all over the floor in the rug aisle and nearly lost my head at this woman, only to go back towards bedding to find an old lady with an elevated queen-sized air mattress on the floor, opening it up. I'm like 7 months pregnant and exhausted. I asked her to please not open that. She goes "I'm seeing what it looks like and how big it is..." .. This guy I was friends with was standing close by listening and I said "...... There's a -picture- on the box along with the measurements. Have you neves seen a queen sized mattress before in your life!? It's against store policy to open items in the store if they're not paid for, ma'am. Also, I'm about to have a baby like right now, I cannot lift this and you're making me have contractions." (totally bsed the last part). And then she said "Well I worked throughout my entire pregnancy." and I was like "...... Lady... I work 60 - 70 hours a week between 2 jobs." then she tells me I can get a manager to help me.

..... Yeah ok. 'Cuz you can always find a manager when you need one. And then she said "They need new people working back here." and I said "No. We don't. We just need new customers."... Dude died laughing at me, but then he came over and was all "Lady. I'm not delivering no damn baby in Wal-Mart. I'll pick it up for you." and I was like "Rudy. You -will- deliver this baby and you'll like it whether you like it or not."

Funny thing though. She ran into me a little while later and apologized.
