Has anyone else experienced a similar thing?

I understand I don't work at Wal-Mart, and that does not make me stupid. However whenever I ask where something is, I always get an incoherent and abbreviated version as if I was the store manager. For example:

Robert: Do you have any marbles? Not the clear vase kind but the old school playing kind?
Associate: Stationary might accidentally have them.
Robert: Stationary?
Associate: Yeah, past Dog food on the right.
Robert: Ok????

So here I am looking for stationary I don't need, and wondering where the dog food is. I not only have to find marbles but now I'm looking for Kibbles N Bits. Because only after I find where the dog food lives can I take a right and look for marbles amidst a plethora of Father's Day cards?

Makes total sense to me... What ever happened to "Aisle 14, bottom right?"

By the Way... Denton Wal-Mart does not carry playing marbles. Hobby Lobby does though!

This is kinda related: I don't think I've met a Wal-Mart greeter yet that I didn't like. Even the mean looking ones still have a speacial place in my heart.

Yes, I am still alive. I was at Super Summer this week. It was arguably the best camp I've been too.
Not a whole lot of fluff. A lot of great teaching.
