Woman Sues Wal-Mart
Over Snippy Greeter

Irate shopper trouble with a capital T

Mrs. Wang returning a $5 bill to Walmart customer service because of “unacceptable doodling”

A frequent Wal-Mart shopper alleges that the woman hired as a greeter at her local outlet is “not very friendly” to her, and is taking the chain to court for restitution for what she terms “mental distress.”

Mrs. Anita Wang, of nearby Uvulaville, said that she had been in Wal-Mart three times in the last week, and that the greeter, a Ms. Diana Dwart, had ignored her on one occasion, greeted her with “just a flat smile and a close-mouthed ‘mm-hmm’” on another visit, and was “downright snippy” the last time she went in the store.

“I mean, what do they pay that woman to do? To greet people, right?” asked Mrs. Wang. “Then why doesn’t she greet me when I walk in there? Why doesn’t she say hello, how are you, or something like that? I’ve watched her, and she always says hello to other shoppers. But when I come in, you’d think I was bringing the plague in with me. She looks the other way, she turns her nose up, and the last time I was there – and this was really the last straw for me – she actually sneered when I said hello first! Well, I just couldn’t believe that Wal-Mart would hire someone that rude, but when I went to complain to the manager, he just looked at me like I was crazy. Like it was my fault that their employee was nasty to me! That’s when I decided to take my case to court.”

Asked to comment, Ms. Dwart said that Mrs. Wang has been a long-time problem at that particular store, and is well-known to management as “trouble with a capital T.”

“She’s been a burr in my bee-hind for years now,” said Dwart. “If you ask me, she’s not right in the head. She comes in here every week and complains about something. Last week, she went off about us not having ‘blue-light specials’ anymore. When we told her that was K-Mart, and not Wal-Mart, she started raising holy heck, and told us she was going to sue us all. The week before that, it was something about the soft-serve ice cream being too soft. It’s always something with her.”

When informed of Ms. Dwart’s comments, Mrs. Wang responded by jumping up and down and shrieking, “She said that? Oooh, I’m going to sue all of them, I’m going to sue them until I own that company, and then I’m going to fire her fat b-u-t-t!” After approximately twenty minutes of this behavior, paramedics were called and Mrs. Wang was given a heavy dose of tranquilizers.

No court date has yet been announced for Mrs. Wang’s civil action.

When announcing his name change, Watermelon/Plud said, to no one in particular, “I know none of you bastards ever gave two shits about me before, but now there’s a new Mr. Macho in town, and his name is Plud. Bludney Plud! Let’s see how you treat me NOW!”He made a few subsequent comments, but was drowned out by the chirping of nearby crickets.
