Yep, you guessed it. Out of all of the weird, odd jobs I've had... this one might take the cake as the silliest. I work at the Wal-Mart supercenter in Idaho Falls as a cashier. Because this isn't my first rodeo cashiering, I obviously basically own the joint by now. haha, just kidding, but I really did catch on pretty quick. Anyway, I know it doesn't sound very glamorous... and that's because it isn't. At first, I was pretty much bummed to tears about working there, but now- believe it or not... it's not so bad. It's similar to working at Grocery Outlet, but obviously not even NEARLY as cool and the people don't even come close to comparing. But, the thing that is similar is that I just get to talk to people all day long, learning about their lives and trying to make their days and it can be somewhat enjoyable! I don't mind working. Obviously, there are greater jobs out there. But it's not so bad. The thing is, from the second I get there I miss Michael SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad and I just want to get out of that joint and go see him! And I know I have a lifetime of being away from him for work coming up, so I guess I better get used to it.Here is one of the downsides to Wally World. Well, people that work there, think that Wal-Mart is the WORLD. They think that the world revolves aroun Wal-Mart and they take it SO seriously. Really, sometimes I just want to laugh in their face and say... did you really just get all fired up, sweaty, and red in the face about there being a hanger in the cardboard box rather than the big trash can? Wow- yeah, you're right, that is a big deal. It takes a lot of energy to pick it up and put it in the right place.
Then, on the other hand. There is the customer who throws a FIT if you forget to scan their "20 cents off" coupon. REALLY LADY? I'll give you 20 cents out of my own wallet out of the kindness of my heart if you'll just go, go, go. BUT, let me assure you that 90% of the customers are wonderful! I have a great time talking with them all day and it's really enjoyable actually. laugh all you want, but honestly, I think that the cashiers are become more friendly with one another since I've been there. haha-come on in... I'll prove it! Don't worry, I'm sure that more stories will come. And also, don't worry- I plan to discontinue my work at Wal-Mart permanently in 2 months from now.

If you love it so much I'm sure they could transfer you to a store in Provo when you guys move!
I bet you're the friendliest cashier and I would always want to come to your line. I remember the same thing about KMART...people took it SOOO seriously, and I was like, "really? this store is basically bankrupt, so chill out!"
Anyway, I love that you work there and like you said, it's just for 2 more months!
Which Walmart in IF do you work at? Mason and I will come visit you!!
Ha ha! No I totally get loving stupid jobs. I LOVED working at KFC of all places. Congrats on the job. Why are you quitting in 2 months? Is that the big day?
I love Wally World! That's cool, Jen. It is such a gift of yours to see the good in every person and every situation.
I would love for you to be my cashier too! At my Walmart, the cashiers are always sooooo slow and it drives me crazy because I'm trying to keep my 2 year old from climbing out of the cart.
And I'm afraid you're right about school and work taking Michael away. You might've heard me complain a time or two about the accounting program at BYU and busy season at the firm!
There is no shame in working at Walmart. I'm happy you have a job and that you have a talent of making the best out of every situation plus we can't wait for more good stories, are there any regulars who love coming to your line yet?
We were just sitting out and wishing you would drive up and tell us a good grocery outlet story. We miss you, could you come home now?
Jenni, you're the best! There is nothing wrong with working at walmart! (Unless you start freeking out about where I put the hangers!) I love how you make the best of your situation! A job is a job and 2 months will come quick!Love ya!
hahaha i love it mall! I love that you work at Wal-Mart and are having all those funny experiences! I want to hear more! it makes me really miss working at Grocery Outlet with you because whenever we would have one of those silly/awesome people in our lines, we knew EXACTLY what the other one was thinking! It was great and fun to laugh about it together!! I love you and i'm proud of you for working there!! i MIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YOU!!!!!!!!!

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!
Mike
