Walking in Others' Shoes

 So I'm at Walmart and the only checkout line is backed up and I overheard an associate say, Oh, they're just too lazy to check themselves out!

I copied this from Facebook, but it is a reminder not to be so quick to state your opinions. Think where people are coming from.

When I turned to look at the line, I was furious. Everyone in that line was well over 70 years old.

You listen here Mr. 20-something-year-old Walmart Associate. These folks are the backbone of this country. These folks are not lazy. They were not born into a computer generation. While you were playing video games and learning to navigate a computer, they were working in the steel mills, mines, dress and shoe factories, restaurants, stores, and countless other jobs, without the aid of a computer or your silly little phone you have your head buried in all while making between $14 and $16 an hour....You twerps would have never made it back in our day...

These "Lazy people" can still work circles around you and they have a work ethic and drive that you probably know nothing about. Just because someone doesn't feel comfortable using a self-checkout does not make them lazy.

And before I forget it... those lazy people pay your salary. Instead of you and others walking around being judgmental someone could have offered to help them on the self-checkout.

If you ever have to get your vegetables from the ground instead of the produce department guess who you are going to need help from... those lazy people!

Be careful of the toes you step on today... they might be attached to the butt you have to kiss tomorrow!

Copied and Pasted - Feel free to do likewise!

Amen Amen
