From a recent retiree:
I had ambitions of finding a simple part-time job after retiring from my 'day job'. But after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retiree, I lasted less than a day.
About 2 hours into my first day on the job, a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities all the way through the entrance. As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'
She stopped yelling long enough to say, 'Hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9 and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'

I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am. I just couldn't believe you got laid twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart' . My supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work.
