Default From the checkout's POV

The following was written by my son, a cashier at Wal-Mart. He will be
graduating from college soon with a degree in education.

"Well, it's done. I've survived another Pre-Black Friday (also known as
Thursday) sale at Wal-Mart. I learned some colorful language from
customers and even got body checked a couple of times by customers that
couldn't (or wouldn't) read signs on where to go. After spending pretty
much the entirety of my Thanksgiving Day at Wal-Mart, watching people
push and shove and scratch and claw their way to their precious $5
waffle maker, I have to say I'm pretty disgusted by the near-sport that
shopping has become. These people left their families on the day that
everyone is supposed to be thankful for what they have, simply because
they believed they didn't have enough. It's a sort of revolting irony
that makes me cringe. Not because I had to sacrifice my Thanksgiving Day
so they can feel good about themselves for buying a $5 waffle maker. I
cringe because those shoppers chose their $5 waffle maker over spending
time with their family."

End of comment.
