Speaker 2 (00:35):
Thank you, dear blog.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
So.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I had a very humbling experience yesterday. I went to
the good old fashioned Wally World Walmart. I had to
pick up some stuff yesterday, and I walk in when
there's like a display shelf and I'm behind this older
gentleman who is pushing a cart and we both were
turning the same corner. So as he was training the corner,
(00:57):
he nicked to the merchandise that was on the shelf
and a board game fell on the ground. It was
like sorry or trouble or whatever, right, and then he
just kept walking. So I was like, okay, well maybe
a you don't know you did it be you don't care,
I don't know. But of course, me being like everywhere
I go I have to feel like I work there,
So I'm like, let me pick this up for him.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'm like, I don't want there just be this game
on the floor, right, So I get down. I'm a
bad knee, right, and I pick up the board game.
Now as I'm trying to restock it back on the shelf,
they all start avalanching on me. Okay, like the shelf
was like hilted, weird, so like i'd put one up
(01:37):
five wood fall like I was, and I'm just like
they're falling all around me. I'm trying to pick them up.
And then the man who I guess just stocked the
shelf walks over to me and is like he's like,
can I help you? Are you already breaking my display?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And I was like, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I was like I I didn't do it, like someone
knocked it off and I picked it up and he's
just looking at me like I know you're lying, and
I'm like I'm not lying like I did this, and
he goes he gives me the just leave it just
and I'm like, damn, I'm so sorry. So then as
I go to get up off my bad knee, I
put my hand on the shelf. More fall off because
(02:15):
now I'm tilting the shelf to get up, and I
just had to walk away. And I can't stop thinking
about it, because what does this man think about me?
Now he thinks I trashed his display that he probably
works so hard to make so nice and pretty for
the holiday season.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
To help I know.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And now I'm like, oh man, I'm so sorry to
this man who works at Walmart, and it mean it.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You should have knocked him all down. You know, you.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Don't really work for it. It looks like trash. Anyway,
I did it wrong, That's what I'm following.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, you worked in retail. I worked in retail. Who
else we in retail? I did? Jus can you relate
to like the way that everything had to be full?
Like I worked in clothing retail. I worked in a
few different retail, but everything had to be folded a
certain way, and like the display had to be sway.
So I got to the point like towards the end
(03:17):
of the night where I would like mean mug people
who'd come into the store that I already straightened out,
and it would like I'd like follow them around and
meet I mean, like, this is terrible, it's a terrible
experience for these customers. But I would follow them around
and mean mug them, and if they went to touch something,
I'd be like, no, no, no, you know what, allow me
because I could get it off the shelf without screwing
up the whole display. And to this day if I
(03:38):
go to and I don't know if this annoys people
in like you know, North stim or whatever, but to
this day, if I go to a place and there's
a stack of clothes and someone's helping me, I'll be like, well,
you get it, because I know that you can get
it without me screwing this whole thing up, which means
that you're gonna have to refold the whole thing or
you know whatever, because you know people don't care, they'll
go in there. If if you ever worked in retail,
if you never if you don't know the pain of
(03:59):
having to re fold a whole stack of clothing because
somebody just grabbed, then you don't understand or care, but
people will just they'll just trash it, man, and then
you got to do the whole thing again. Yeah, that
was frustrating.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Or right before closing when they came in.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know, Oh yeah, I'd follow people if it was like,
you know, we closed it eight and it was seven
forty five, like, do not touch it, like don't like
just man if you want to leave, Like it's also
fine if you don't buy anything and just go home,
like go home to your family. There. The same way
at Blockbuster too. It's like we'd straighten the whole store
and then somebody would come in and like just start
and say, oh I got to do it, and you're
(04:33):
supposed to do it when the store closes for that reason.
But no, we wanted to leave, you know, so we
so we'd follow people around and stare at him, give
them looks. It's a miracle they didn't have like the
same kind of you know, Google reviews and things that
they have now, because I would have gotten fired instantly.
Oh yeah, they had secret shoppers back in the day.
It would come in and like shop. I think they
(04:54):
still do this, but they would come in and shop
the store. But they were so obvious.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
They'd come in and they would ask questions that nobody
else would ask, like, you know, excuse me, Fred, can
you tell me about the buy one, get one free
special that's available now through November. You know, it's like, yes,
I can. I'd be more than happy to help explain
that to. You know, I don't know, they weren't they
weren't slick, you know, or they some of them would
even come in with their little checklist and it's like, really,
(05:21):
thank you, you know, and of course they got exceptional service,
because I think we're writing it all down. But yes,
I the pain chasing the pain of

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
