People of Walmart

I'm still waiting confirmation, but rumor has it that merit raises and 401K matching might be coming back come January.

Anyone else heard that? And anyone wanna speculate on what sorts of hoops and restrictions will be placed on them to minimize things?

I was very impressed with a customer who, without any assistance, successfully connected his Netbook to a Lapnet station and was happily browsing the web until he tried to print something. He called me over to check the printer. The printer was "Ready to Print" so I asked him to try again. That's when I noticed that he was clicking the "Save" icon instead of the printer icon. Oh, too bad. He had almost escaped the stigma of being a Saturday customer.

On other unrelated notes...

• I did two Christmas card orders
  
• My branch received a "Transaction Average" bonus
  

I will never understand the odd paranoia of customers who don't want to use their credit card information for Online Printing, but have no problem reading it over the phone to a complete stranger (me).
