The 10-foot rule myth at Wal-Mart The Wal-Mart 10 foot rule: "I want you to promise that whenever you come within 10 feet of a customer, you will look him in the eye, greet him, and ask him if you can help him." I nearly threw-up in my mouth when I heard this. not only am I used to not getting greeted, I'm always ignored when I go to Wal-Mart. So I figured I'd go in and show how wonderful it usually is. I wish I recorded from the second I walked in... the "Greeter" not only didn't greet me, she gave me the stink eye! Here is the play-by-play: 00:20 - Nearly get my arm clipped by the worker with the shopping cart, who stares me right in the face, with no expression at all. 00:33 - A double encounter! Nearly hit both of them with the cart, but I'm starting to feel like Kevin Bacon in Hollow Man 00:40 - Infortunate flip of the camera, since I couldn't see the view finder I wasn't sure if the right angle was being caught.. but I realize the error of my ways and correct it in about 30 seconds... in the meantime I had two other workers that I pass, but don't count them in my total. 01:10 - Stopped to grab a wrench. Please don't tell anyone I shop for wrenches at Wal-Mart, I will lose my man license. 01:30 - Ok, I think I actually rubbed the cart on this employees smock. Not only did she not say "Hello" or "Watch it Chachi!" she didn't even flinch. I should be selling this invisible syrum. 01:36 - I do a DOUBLE PASS on this one. To be fair, the second time she was talking to a customer, but only because he had to say "excuse me" to get her attention 01:50 - Am I shopping for milk, or is it just a ruse to get LP off my tail? Ok, so it's milk that I need to buy. 02:30 - After not seeing anyone, I run into not one, not two, but THREE employees (one was not wearing the uniform, he was on break) 02:33 - a dad lifting his kid up to shoot a basket in the basket ball net. Swish! They said hi to me... Wal-Mart employees 0-for-10... kid 1-for-1 02:46 - Child trying to do a price scan, being the incredible guy I am, I assist her. 03:00 - Employee restocking item... no hello 03:18 - ANOTHER TRIPLE - to be fair, they were enjoying each others company 03:29 - Had to get some self-promotion for my head and a plug for Tim Hortons coffee 03:44 - Employee looks me straight in the eye, not even so much as a "wussup" head nod 04:02 - Final employee... same as the first. Total passed 16 employees, no hello's Tags: Wal-Mart Greeter |

Bungee Ball with Soundtrack Me and my buddy Steve in the Bungee Ball in Atlantic City. Steve, on the right, looks like he's on a totally different ride than me. I pooped my pants, but only a little. The music comes in at the 16 second mark. Perfect for the video. Tags: scream bungee scared disturbed air |
