As many of you may know, I currently work at Wal-Mart. At the moment I do not know how long that will be current. You see, today I was given a paper called a "Pink-Slip" or "Cash Control Sheet" that said that my till was short by $16.89. I am a *very* responsible cashier, and I count my money 2 times before giving it to my customer, and I count it to them as I hand it to them. Never before has my drawer been off (well, thats not entirely accurate, as if can be off by up to $5.00 without me getting a pink-slip).
Most people when they receive said pink-slip just sign the thing and go on with life. But I am a more difficult case. While the pink-slip is not an admission of guilt, it is an admission of a mistake with my till. I am not satisfied that it was my fault that my till was short. After reviewing the electronic journal (basically, any transaction done at the Wal-Mart store I work at can be viewed on it) and investigating it thoroughly, I did not find proof that it was my fault. After doing this, I went to a member of management (fucking assholes) and spoke with them about it. They were of little use (besides confirming that it's a "sign or fire" dilemma).
On the day that my till was short, someone had accidently used my cashiering numbers. The accounting office claims that he didn't work that day, which is absurd, considering that I and at least 3 other people remember seeing him, and talking to him on that day.
It is interesting to note that at least 4 other people were given these pink-slips today, as I was. One of them is a good friend of mine, who has at least 2 years of experiance more than I do in cashiering, and she recieved 3 of the things.
It has been suggested by 3 or 4 people that I have spoken to, that there is a possibility of someone embesilling (sp?) the money from Wal-Mart, as one of the people in the accounting office just took a very nice trip to Disney-Land (not that that proves anything...but on a Wal-Mart salary???), and a couple of them never had a pink-slip before one of the new associates in the accounting office started working there. I am contemplating bringing this up on monday (the next day that I work), and seeing what kind of reaction it brings. It will be delicious, if all goes as I would like it to.
I have been working with a member of management on this, in order to try to sort everything out. Before I left to day he mentioned something about "tearing the piece of paper up." You don't think my stubbornness (and the fact that he's an idiot), along with the fact that I, if I may say so myself, am an excellant manipulater, have anything to do with it, do you?
All in all, this has thus far been an interesting experiance, watching how far I can push the boundries Wal-Mart has attempted to errect. I do not think that they realize that I am not playing by their rules, nor do I care for them in any way.
Anyone have any good ideas on how to fuck with them further?
(Bella, Hugh, and all you mentally MODified types...I suppose this could go in Opperation Minfuck, but...I dunno it feels a bit too ranty for that...but whatever)
Keep up the Good Fight. I'm trying to think of other things to do. Maybe something'll come to me

The Eric Collective finds you Highly Amusing. Come the Revolution, you may or may not be first up against the wall, but you will be up against the wall.
Does anyone else hear a faint buzzing noise? No? Ok, forget it.

As much as I utterly loathe Wal-Mart, I wonder how much of it has to do with the list of thousands of ethical reasons why boycotting it is a goood idea, and how much of it has to do with just how fucking ugly it is and how fucking unpleasent it is to be in there. I mean, I'm not filled with as strong of an urge to throw a brick through a Barnes and Noble window.
And yeah, Wal-Mart definitely deserves mindfuckery. Since you're an employee, I suggest sabotaging the security cameras somehow, and somehow alerting the proletariat of their temporary absence, to further the cause of the shoplifters of the world. No idea how to go about doing this. I also recall a hippie anecdote someone managing to get their own recorded VHS tape in the Wal-Mart television system. I believe the exact tape they selected was 30 minutes of the ball game that cut immidiately to a close up of one of them *ahem* defecating with their *ahem* posterior labelled "Wal-Mart". You could work with that.
I plan to mindfuck Wal-Mart myself soon, but it will probably be something a lot less subtle, like wheat-pasting Leftist propaganda on the doors of the bathroom stalls, or getting a bunch of people to pretend like they're shopping, and then randomly break into a performance of a Shakespeare play, as if it was a theatre. And there's also good ol' stealing copious amounts of shit from them.
If you destroy Wal-Mart, you'll destroy us all.
Remember that.
now I'm confused.
aren't the two of you the same person?
And what's so wrong with destroying Wal-Mart? Quit threadjacking, youse!

No, he just coincidentally has the same avatar as my LJ, which I really need to get around to changing.

I can tell you how to do that, depending on the type of camera they are. If you want to know of course. Not that I would ever suggest you do anything
illegal with such information. Just in case you are curious about such things, in a hypothetical way.
Well, considering I was one of the people that set up the camera's when we were building the store...I could do it if I wanted to. The problem is that the store is too busy (and I know wayyyyyy too many people there) to do it without getting caught. Ohh well, mostly I've settled for fucking with the new people's heads.
Update: Today when I went into work the same fat-bastard manager was on, and he saw me at least 10 times. He seems to have "forgoten" about the entire thing. Not that I mentioned it of course, but he never said anything. Do you suppose there is anything I could do with this copy of his signature I have? Seeing as he signed the paper and I still haven't.
Of course, I'm also tempted to write "Under Duress" on the signature line, and then sign it. That way they can see that I've signed it, but it completely voids the signature in any legally binding way (although, I'm not sure if they would fire me over it or not...)
