She's seen the light, she's seeeen the liiiiighhhhht... My daughter just quit Wal-mart.
First of all, the daughter of a bunny could never pass for a mole anyway.
Second, from my personal experience in helping bring down the Junk Bond market from the inside in the 1980s, it's not worth it, and something else even worse will arise from its ashes.
Third, would you ask her if WalMart's advertised $99 futon is strong enough for a 300 lb. MeFite and guests? I got an empty space in my decor just aching for something totally cheezy, but don't wish it to collapse at awkward moments (and when I have guests, all moments are awkward... but I've said too much).
Wendell, she is lighter than you (and me, for that matter) and the cheap futon she bought for her apartment was broken-by an even skinnier friend.
She was basically fed up with her boss. The same one that led her to believe she was fulltime until three months on...her hours were not enough to support her, and she was working a second job too. The second job will now be her fulltime one.
I am glad to welcome her back to the community of right thinking people. Besides, *whisper* I've been shopping there lately. I feel so....unclean.
As to moles, I had one removed from my nose a couple of years ago...if you mean her, she's a redhead and has to be good, for she will never be anonymous.
You should have encouraged her to do some union activism on the way out! She'd have been in the perfect position to do it, what with not caring if she were fired. Walmart desperately needs to get unionized: it's the only way those employees are ever going to save themselves from being continually shafted.
