So, today I went to Wal Mart. I know, bad right? But anyway I walked in and was shocked to see that instead of the normal friendly old man, there was a less friendly looking old woman in the greeter chair.
Now, I'm a proper third wave feminist, so I feel like I can say and feel only a little bit of guilt for thinking it in the first place. But I don't think women should be Wal Mart greeters. Don't get me wrong, I believe they can fulfill the job requirements as well as a man, but it just doesn't feel right.
I mean, what is the point of the Wal Mart greeter? To make you feel more comfortable spending lots of money on shit you most likely don't really need, right? When I see an old woman, I don't want to spend money, plain and simple. Old women are, generally speaking, not nearly as much fun as old men because at some point old men stop caring about political correctness and old women never really do.
I realize I'm making ridiculous generalizations here, and I'm sure there is some old woman out there who is the best Wal Mart greeter ever. But, she is canceled out by the grumpy old woman who was greeting today
