dmxratedEarlier two days ago, a more public event was hosted just beyond the righthand entrance, called Coffee With a Cop. I didn't bother with that one, because after so many stories I've heard of such things as white cops murdering unarmed black men, cops doing nothing but blocking parents and other civilians off during mass shootings, such rulings as Lenahan v. Castle Rock saying that police do not exist to protect civilians even against those given restraining orders, and their actual purpose overall of serving the state and the rich, starting with their original purpose of quelling strikes, I find it rather hard to have any respect for them. A lot of that was stuff I picked up before from Chelle's blog on Tumblr.

Yesterday, for the second time recently, I spotted a Grillin' Villain truck after taking my first fifteen-minute break, only for it to drive away while I approached it. The first time around was right after I first arrived, at around 9, and I had just had breakfast at home before coming. This time, I thought I would have noticed it right before taking that fifteen.
Not knowing who to bring it up with, I decided to text Uguu Blue: Lemonade Crew after bringing an L-cart to the back of the store. Mom cleared up that it might've just been there for business supplies before going where anyone would be expecting it, but then Brian, Drew, and even Mom herself later on offered some joke explanations:
Brian: Maybe the truck is for sale nearby and people keep test driving it through the parking lot.
Drew: Maybe the person who works in it has a friend that they're visiting on their break.
Mom: Maybe they're dropping off someone who works at Walmart and then zipping off to their own work.

Turned off my end-of-shift alarm to finish up one lap collecting carts from the corrals. A few minutes after my scheduled end, some old lady asked me to fetch a motorcart, and someone just so happened to have one right in front of the entrance, who was bagging his stuff before getting up. And what better timing after I had just had to find someone a cart whose own was at 15% power inside the store, only for her in turn to leave after I had told her to stay put (I ended up giving that one to someone else who asked en route).
So basically, she has a bad foot that would crack if she were to try to walk on it, so I had to try to squeeze in-between her car and the adjacent one, but there was no real way for her to come right onto it, not after I had already scraped her car with the cart. I suggested that she find two empty parking spaces side-by-side, but she instead tried backing out a little and moving back in just a foot closer to the car to the right. I didn't think that was going to work, but she proceeded to argue with me, and then Jeyson came over and ordered me off in some kind of explicit anger (probably for raising my voice in obvious frustration at her). He basically took over for me, and I just took off and ended my shift at 4:06.
Told Mom when she asked me if anything happened, and she suggested that I ask them to wait while I get someone else to sort things out, the next time someone acts so thick with me.
