Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Born in Tyndall, SD, Roger's family moved while he was still very young. He lived in Arizona until the 4th grade, then moved to Colorado. It was in the mountains where Roger began to enjoy reading. At first what was merely a pleasant past time became a passion for fantasy when he discovered the works of Terry Brooks, namely The Sword of Shannara. He began to write his first novel a year later in the 7th grade, and that book would be the beginning of Ravin World and the Ravin Saga Mythology. Roger's family moved back to South Dakota, where he finished high school and met his future wife Alysia. He enrolled at the University of South Dakota to study biology, chemistry, and creative writing. His plan was to go into veterinary medicine and be a small animal surgeon. However, it was in his creative writing classes that Roger realized what he wanted to do. Finishing his first book during college, five more followed as he honed his style and storytelling skills. Roger lives with his wife, son Atticus, and two dogs and cats (two sons and two daughters), and a turtle he does not claim in small Gayville, SD. And yes, that really is the town's name, so get used to it. When not working at his day job, he spends every moment he can spare into writing his next novel. Find out more about R. A. Wilson and the worlds he writes about at www.RavinSaga.com

These short vignettes will have you shaking your head, rolling your eyes, and wondering how some people manage to survive their own stupidity. The stories are silly, shocking, funny, and sometimes just plain nuts and will have you wondering if WalMart is part of a bizarro universe rather than a place firmly rooted in our own world.

It makes me glad that I don't shop at WalMart.

While the stories are amusing and funny, the editing is poorly done. There are multiple grammar, spelling, and other editing errors and is a text book example of why you cannot depend on a spelling checker to substitute for proper proof reading and copy editing. There are too many cases of "then" for "than" and other elementary usage errors, but the blue ribbon winner of mistakes is the use of the word "turrets" when, by context, it is obvious the author means "Tourette's." The book is painfully in need of a re-edit.

Recommended for anyone wanting to feel smarter than the people who inhabit your local WalMart.

Based on the abstract, I thought this book would be a collection of the "interesting" stories that happen inside of a Wal-Mart store. I guess I was picturing more of the someone-peed-in-the-dressing-room sort of story. As other reviewers have pointed out, this book is based more on the whines and frustrations of 2 employees. They trade off in each chapter and it's confusing to remember which works in what department, etc. Additionally, the tone of the writing and the quality changes from chapter to chapter. It's a self-published book, so caveat emporum!

Mostly, these stories are bland complaints that happen in every retail job everywhere -- customers don't know the right name for what they want or are conversely over-educated and want to speak extreme technical details to someone who doesn't know. Managers switch up your responsibilities so that you're left doing work that you hate (cleaning toilets, restocking shelves, etc.). One of the stories that I could most relate to from my own retail experience is parents leaving their children unsupervised, assuming that the store's staff would look after them. In my book store, when we saw this happen we would announce a "lost child" over the intercom and ask that parents of Timmy return to the children's section. Every time, the parent would come over and say "well I just went to look at novels, I thought I could leave him in the children's section" and we would explain that a child by himself was considered lost or abandoned and that if the parent hadn't responded immediately, we would have to call the police and report an abandoned child. I doubt that it changed their behavior in other stores, but at least we had our passive-aggressive revenge AND solved the problem of children without adults.

Overall, this book was a miss for me. It was too whiny and not funny enough - and at the end they use it as a solicitation for other people to submit their stories for use in publication. If it were me, I'd also tread lightly because using the company name in the title of your book isn't smart -- you're bound to get a cease & desist at some point and Amazon will give them your actual names and contact info, so you may lose your job to boot.

I enjoyed reading this well written, often humorous book. It gave me new insights on the challenges of Wal-Mart employees. The author describes in great detail some of the more interesting customers and fellow associates he encountered on the job. After working in retail for over 19 years, nothing surprises me. Kudos to the author for writing such an honest, humorous memoir of retail. I always enjoy reading a good book about retail!
