No Such Thing As Gardening Leave
Parking Lot | Sacramento, CA, USA | Crazy Requests, Time

(It’s 11 pm and the store closed at 9. I’m in my car, in the back of the parking lot, on my lunch, taking a nap. I’m not wearing my employee vest or my name tag. Someone knocks on my car window, waking me up.)

Customer: “I can’t get into the garden department!”

I don't see how this one is all that weird? Poster works at a Walmart superstore or something, and mans one of the later-opened areas. They're on lunch and some customer doesn't realize that the gardening department has different operating hours from the main part of the store so they bothered an employee they saw, because employees inside were probably difficult to find in the giant, empty store.

They're on lunch and taking a nap in the parking lot just before midnight two hours after the store closed?

So a customer comes up to a random car in a parking lot at night after the store is closed to ask about a department?

Cucumbers are good raw, it's just weird to think of eating one not cut up. I'd eat slices all day though.

The garden department was closed. The rest of the Walmart was open. The employee worked overnight in the open part of the store and was taking a nap during their lunch hour. I don't understand what is difficult to grasp. Do you not live in the US, or just live in an area without Walmarts?

Cucumbers are part of food, not real food. They can go in a salad or be sliced on the side or something, but munching down on one like an apple or a pear is hosed up.

The story says "It’s 11 pm and the store closed at 9."

So the rest of the walmart wasn't open, apparently.

When I worked nights we called it a lunch break (to differentiate it from other, shorter breaks), but it was on you what you wanted to do with it, including eat dinner.

Working overnight is a weird experience.

My brother does this. He'll just sit down and munch his way through a whole, unsliced cucumber. He also eats apple cores. He is not, for the record, a goat.

I am hesitant to share since it is so personal. However, I am appalled by a situation I experienced tonight and just have to talk about it.

Tonight was my second appointment with a therapist. I lost a child several years ago and find therapy beneficial every now and then. My first appointment (pre-election) went well. The therapist, a male in his sixties, seemed nice enough. We spent the session just going over some history and setting goals. A typical therapy "getting to know you" session. Tonight was not so typical. Upon arrival, I informed him the last few days have been hard for me due to feelings associated with the heartbreak I felt over the outcome of the election. His response to my statement shocked me. The therapist said "the other side as felt that way for years". He then began to question why I have progressive views of politics. He actually asked me to explain why I thought partial birth abortions are ok. He stated the hot mic talk was what guys talk like in locker-rooms. The man stated the media made up the hate rhetoric. Then the political science lesson began! He informed me that Roe V Wade was a case about privacy and not anything to do with abortion or women's rights. The Supreme Court doesn't have any power and that they have over stepped their place in regards to gay marriage rights. The decision should should be left to the states and if a gay couple lives
in a state that does not recognize gay marriage they should move to one that does.

After 45 minutes of him talking AT me, he abruptly says "so you had an abortion, right?" Umm...No. I had finally had enough. I informed him that you don't have to have had an abortion to be pro choice. I don't have to be lesbian to support LGBTQ rights. One doesn't have to be a person of color to support racial equality. He looked at me with condemnation and asked what my husband thought of my views. Really?! I am so angry right now! I sought assistance with grief and instead received the third degree and judgement. Well, I am no longer sad .. I am PISSED!

Current political climate in the US is perfect for fresh stdh about horrible white men attacking women in the streets with threats of violence in form of well-prepared ten minute long monologues, and marines and policemen, brave patriots of America, standing against looting hoards of thugs who never explicitly said to be black.
