So a few days ago I went to Wal-Mart with a couple of my buddies (friends of mine not the dolls from the 80’s) on the way to stay at Monica’s parents river house. We had two cars…one for the girls and one for the guys. The girls left but the guys stayed to buy some movies. While we were there one of the guys I was with decided to buy the movie Meet Joe Black with Brad Pitt in it. It was in the $5 bin and he really likes the film. When we go up to the cash register I decide to strike up a conversation with the Wal-Mart employee working the cash register. Here’s the conversation…

Rob: Have you seen Meet Joe Black?

Wal-Mart Employee: Yes I think I have.

Rob: Did you like the movie?

Wal-Mart Employee: Anything with Brad Pitt in is good.

Rob: Did you know that Brad Pitt and I are from the same city, Springfield Missouri.

No response, so I keep talking.

Rob: A lot of people get us confused all the time.

Wal-Mart Employee: I can see that. You should try to make some money with that. You could sign autographs and stuff.

Rob: That’s a great idea.

I then leave and me and buddies laugh. I like that a Wal-Mart employee has some personality and was willing to joke around. But the story doesn’t stop there. The next day our group realizes that we forgot the Sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce for the rump roast we were cooking. So me and the guy that bought Meet Joe Black go back to Wal-Mart to buy some Sweet Baby Rays Barbecue sauce (it is slap your mama good and worth a 40 minute round trip drive to Wal-Mart). When we get up to the cash register I am greeted with…

Wal-Mart Employee: Hey Brad

Rob: (chuckle) I can’t believe you remembered that?

Wal-Mart Employee: How could I forget you look like freek’n Brad Pitt!

Rob: (hard laugh) You made my day.

I love when people have personality. I laughed about that one for a while.
