My yearly income is in the top 3% of the U.S., You got me, I'm a door greeter.
Are they hiring? I would like to make that kind of money with 0 responsibility too.

First, new to the forum....great conversations.
Now for the OC RPT. My boy and I were in Cary last weekend to recon the recently opened Bass Pro Shop (aka: my Mecca). I OC everyday and remembered some discussion a while back about Cary not allowing OC. I whipped out the smart phone and pulled up Cary ordinances and comments on this site. From what I gathered one can OC in Cary on private property unless posted. Therefore I proceeded to Carry On. Approaching the door we looked for the communist GFZ sticker and was pleased to see none. Once inside there were some glances and a few stares, but no comments.
Overall uneventful. Unrelated, but I prefer the BPS in Myrtle Beach to the Cary location for obvious reasons.
thanks,

If Walmart is having a greater than usual theft problem, Walmart needs to install more cameras and hire more LP...not harass PAYING customers who just walked away from a register after paying.
If they did not catch the theft before that, they are not going to catch a theft at the door with an 80yo grandmother. Not only is it ineffective, it is insulting.

Wal-mart like most places has guidelines they use to stop people. I know because I worked LP in a BIG chain RETAIL STORE *cough Hecht's cough cough* and we had 7 steps that we HAD to follow or else we could be terminated. Now BELKS on the other hand, if they suspected you, would walk out behind you with a sensor tag and say they were LP and needed to check your bags. If the receipt matched then the hidden tag was found in the clothes. If not, then they would haul you in. I've been stopped by Wal-Mart LP and accused of taking stuff. My first question is always "Do you have me on video or is this floor surveillance?" Next question is "what merchandise did i take?"
I would then ask for the LP Manager and store Manager to be called. I would tell them I am calling the police myself. They usually are dumbfounded that you are calling the police. I would file a complaint with corporate. Ive been stopped twice both times for crap they made up. They "saw" something.
Just my 2 cents

How tall were the WM LP, I am not joking. Every-time I have seen a over zealous WM LP they are under 5'5". The one that threatened me was a full head shorter than I. It was almost funny watching him try to stand on his toes so he could look me in the face.
outstanding advice which i will put in my backpocket verbal tool kit to use in the event i am 'questioned'...filing a complaint is already in my repertoire!

quote I admire those elderly people. At least they are out earning a living instead of sitting on their butts collecting unemployment. unquote
quote Maybe you should re-read my post again. unquote
sorry, flyboy, what part did i mis-read in your posts about your condescending mentality of seniors who are trying to make ends meet?

quote You tried to advance your argument by suggesting that I was a door greeter. If that was meant to be an insult, you failed.
seems you did start the concept you are a greeter not another forum member!

Now I understand where I mis-communicated. Sorry, my mistake. I meant to say at least they are out earning a living instead of some younger generations that would rather sit on their butts and collect unemployment.
Actually, WW mentioned that I was most likely a greeter or LP officer.

I don't stop for them either. Can always blame it on my loss of hearing. Last time they tried to stop me (about three years ago), I just signed to them (using sign language) that I was hard of hearing (not far from the truth). The guy looked directly at me and said "have a nice evening" louder than normal.I usually don't even slow down unless I recognize the voice (wife, kids, friends) or it is someone I don't want to run over (like a kid or granny).

well yesterday went to DMV on ash OC'g and nobody batted an eye...except as i was leaving a young man walked by and in passing said ...nice piece...i bit the inside of my mouth to refrain from making the smart arse comment that was rolling off my tongue...
today at the kangaroo at 117/13 said hello to a young man who was filling a tire at the air pump...and recommended he come out to the site and say hello.

DMV on Hwy 16 (NW Charlotte) is posted, had to return to my vehicle and store last time I was there. Armed police? sitting inside also (they looked more than armed security, but were not CMPD).
