Wal Mart Adventures -->Marie

This is my last blog for this class. And so I would like to talk about my experience picking up photos at wal mart for my group presentation.
So I walked in the door to wal mart and decided to kill some time and NOT do homework by looking around wal mart for a bit. So I wandered around, tried on some shoes, ect. I picked up the photos and then went to the check out when I realized that I didn't have my keys on me.
And I started freaking out.
You see, that key chain had my car and dorm keys along with my school ID on them. So basically I'd have to either have my parents drive three hours in bad weather to give me spare keys to my car, or let my car get towed. The locks on my dorm would have to be replaced. And I'd need a new ID. So I frantically searched all through wal mart trying to find where I had left them. I asked all the department desks if anyone had turned them in. ANd I waited in a freaking long line at customer service twice to see if they had them. By the end of a few hours I was pretty upset and in tears. No one would help me! The wal mart employees all just had this attitude of "eh. good luck. not my problem." It was so frustrating! So I went out to my car for the third time to see if maybe I'd missed spoting them through the window again somehow. No luck. But this time as I went to go back into wal mart I heard someone call, "Hey! Are you alright?"
This nice black man in an expensive car had stopped to see if I was ok. We chatted for a couple minutes. He was very sympathetic. He told me that if it had been a simple matter of me locking my keys in my car he'd have paid for the police to get into it. Since that wasn't the issue and there wasn't really anything he could do, he just gave me his number and told me to call him if I needed any help. He was the only person who was nice. I wish I could thank him somehow.
But, long story short, my good friends Jeffrey Jay Cottle and Spencer Lee Richards came to my rescue. They drove to wal mart to pick me up and of course as soon as they got there someone turned in my keys.
Pretty much the suckiest saturday of my life.
