In that nice winter time before spring but after Christmas. The time when people aren't really looking for toys but we still get a nice bit of business.

Nice and quiet around here

For now...

Spring is coming

When I say I want more trees in the garden center, this isn't what I mean

Perfect scale model, complete with nips on the batsuit

#batman forever #batman #why the hell does the batsuit have nipples? #what functional purpose does it serve? #batnips #batmobile #and to think I used to watch the movie on vhs all the time and didn't question it

Update: Found the head on another shelf, still does not tell me why you did this, random walmart patron

Stop doing this shit

Seriously, there is literally no point to this?

What did my boy Shoto do to ya'll?

Word to the wise, make sure your eye is out of the way of the bright-ass led light before you hit the try me button...

Apparently someone googlied my whole store

Highlights from my department include the following

Customer: Where do you keep the *insert product here* at?

Me, working during a remodel: Bold of you to assume I know where anything outside my own department is right now.

Oh to be a vagrant youth agoin, when my hips remembered the ways of the hoop life

To the Todoroki cosplayer who saw this dumbass walmart associate in a batman-style santa hat internally fangirling at your cosplay and came over to offer me a hug: you made my fucking day and for once I didn't have to fake a smile for the rest of my shift.

I just took a See-n-Say to the face

I was trying to get them to stay on the shelf.

They didn't want to apparently and now I have a fat upper lip.

Is your holiday worth my sanity?

8 pallets... 8 pallets of overstock toys... the bins in the back are full... I have to take these all outside to the trailer we had to get.

I'm straight-up ready to cry.

#Christmas #retail #work #hatemyjob #why do I do this to myself?

I get a lot more random goop on my hands then you'd think someone in toys would.

Boba balls, squishy fruit, random soap left on a shelf, facial scrub left on a cart, so much random goo.

At least the scrub smells nice and the soap was supposed to be on my skin...

[tales-from-the-toy-isles]

I didn't think you could lose a fight against a cardboard box until today...

As far as anyone knows, it was bigger than me and stole my boxcutter.
