One time I went to my neighborhood Walmart on a Saturday evening at about 6:00 pm. This Walmart was in a poor neighborhood in town. As I was going through the entrance, I noticed that the cart area was closed because a Walmart worker was mopping something up. I listened closer and heard the worker explain to the customer: “Oh, this area’s closed. Someone threw up here. I’m surprised because the homeless don’t usually throw up until later on Saturday nights after they’ve gotten drunk.” Mind you, she wasn’t phased that there was vomit on the floor, only that it was so early on a Saturday night. What mustn’t one get used to while working at Walmart?

As a former Walmart employee, I can tell you that you get used to everything. I now work at a prison and the first time an inmate suffering a mental health episode painted their cell in their own feces didn’t even phase me. Cleaning it up was easy, and I already had a game plan and was stoked to find out we had a pressure hose rather then the brush method I was used to.
