If you did that around here, you'd scare people. They would wonder what you were up to.

The Walmart greeters here are about the only friendly employees in the entire store. It's the only hint of customer service and a smile you'll get.

What employees in the store? I can't ever find the person with keys to the ammo case and have to wait up to thirty minutes sometimes to get one. Common sense would say, SOMEONE should be in sporting goods at all times to watch the guns!

I know, I have been told before If I remember correctly there is a scene in the movie Angel Eyes where the guy tells Jennifer Lopez to just greet strangers, and she says she feels like a jerk doing that

Ever since Undisputed Truth came out with that song Smiling Faces, people have become suspicious of smiles and handshakes. Don't let the smile and handshake fool you....smiling faces tell lies..
