Door Greeters

I think having door greeters at Walmart is a nice idea...but sometimes it drives me NUTS! There is this one specific guy who insists that Ava have about 40 stickers everytime we go. It's really nice but it takes him forever to find the stickers, and then he wants to sit and "chat" with Ava. Last time I went to Walmart he gave Ava a ton of stickers when we came into the store. Then he came up to us as we were leaving insisting that Ava have even more stickers. Once Ava got those, he wanted mommy to have some stickers. aaaaahhhhh I just wanted to get out of the store! It's the nicest gesture, but sometimes I just want to get IN and OUT of Walmart!
Then at Costco, there is this really nice lady who likes to draw pictures of the back of the receipts when you are leaving. Usually by the time we are leaving, Ava is ready to go and doesn't have much patience (either do I!). The last time we were at Coscto ,Ava was crying and screaming to get out of the cart, there was a large line behind me, and this lady spend several minutes drawing a picture of a dog. Again, a nice gesture but by the time our shopping adventures are over I just want to get to my car!!!!!

  1. Yes! Cory was carrying Noel and a big space heater out of Costco and he also got a picture, he was not too happy.

  2. That was a funny post. Frustrating for you, I am sure. Maybe next time if you just walk really fast and try to not make eye contact when you are leaving wal-mart you can avoid the sticker thing?
    But then you might feel guilty.
    Good luck next time!
