M...is a full name?!
Yesterday walmart ordeal i can at least laugh about now.
Ordered online some plastic cd/dvd cases, went to pick them up---with about 15 minute wait till a surly teen/20ish cashier finally showed up re my order, at the desk opposite the rest rooms, and early return bus to leave in 5 more minutes.
She looked at her monitor and my photo i.d., twice, with my online account only having my first initial instead of my full first name----with girl actually wondering if i was the same person!
"Nobody has an initial for their first name", I told her. And: "I dont give my complete name anywhere on the internet."
Some Smiley Whiplash, in black leather, gold chain, mustache, said, while she was gone, that he saw just a letter for first names at old folks home where he once worked---though again that's initials for first name.
Girl, with a bandaged hand, tattooed arm, and demeanor that suggests she'd rather be a bartender at a biker bar, gave me my purchase, with me asking "Is that all", and her a "yeah" for a farewell.
Later for me to wonder if girl ever saw a james bond movie and thinks the "m" in those movies is the character's actual name.
I gotta go back later today, grabbed bus home yesterday about 2 minutes after cashier hassle over with; today hoping to get new blood pressure pills that dont have insomnia for a side effect; went to doctor yesterday re that.

You are so articulate, smart, and funny! There was a woman in our bldg. who got so incensed with a customer service rep that she had a STROKE! Don\'t let some idiots stress you out!
Good customer service is hard to come by these days. If people aren\'t working for commision they just don\'t seem to put effort out.
Hello M!
Thanks, LivingWater.
i can easily imagine somebody, though hopefully not me, having a stroke in a store.
hi, KelleyPaterson
it\'s also some teengagers now days, for old geezer me to be the cliche to at least joke about.
at nearby grocery store, one young cashier has \"i need a miracle\" tattooed on her lower arm; big enough for me to quickly read it.
hi, TroJanThunder
i usually feel like \"K\" in frantz kafka\'s \"the trial\")
