Читать книгу Fly On the Walmart: Confessions of a Young Walmart Greeter - Kristin Ph.D. Mango - Страница 3

BEFORE WE BEGIN

I am Kristin Mango, and I was a twenty year old Walmart people greeter. In high school, I was an honors/AP student with an above 4.0 GPA. I was also an academic decathlete who won third place in overall score out of two hundred forty two decathletes in one of the toughest regions in the nation. I’m earning my bachelor’s degree about two years after graduating high school.

Now, because I am a Walmart greeter, many assume that I am a raging idiot, and some even let me know what they think of my intellect. I’ve found that casually mentioning that I’m a college senior will shut those people up. They’ll excuse you for holding such a position if you’re a student. After all, you’re trying to better yourself, and those are the only types of jobs within a student’s ability to attain.

This job has been truly humbling.

The following is the story of my life as a Walmart greeter. Some passages are generalizations of experiences working as a people greeter while others are specific stories about interesting and bizarre occurrences. Enjoy!
