Kadizzle took the truck to Walmart to get the oil changed. When your workforce is paid starvation wages you will not have much of a workforce. Kadizzle should have gone elsewhere, but here goes the adventure in low paid people. Kadizzle first asked the dingers to make sure the tires had the right air pressure. Kadizzle explained he wanted the maximum pressure because he pulled a trailer with the truck. The head dinger explained to Kadizzle that company policy was that only the pressure listed on the door post could be put in the tires. That pressure was 45lbs. The tires needed 75lbs. Walmart and its dingers never considered the possibility that a person might put different tires on a truck than what it came with, thus a different pressure. So the dingers let the air out of my tires down to 45, and then the head dinger told them to put it back to 75lbs. Next Kadizzle asked the Walmart nuclear scientist to rotate the tires. A sub dinger said they could not do it for free because the tires were bought from Sam's club. The head dinger said yes they could do it for free. Later they rotated the tires and the head dinger said the sub dinger was right, they had to charge for the tire rotation, but he would not because of his original promise. Next we got to the oil change. Once the worker bee dingers put the new oil in the truck they realized they did not have a filter for the truck. Kadizzle and the dingers convened a meeting about what to do. They could just take the cost of the filter off the bill and Kadizzle could do it later himself. Another option would be for Kadizzle to go to a parts store and buy the filter then come back and have the dingers put it on. It seemed the best course of action was for the dingers to go to the parts store and get the filter. That was the final solution. Walmart had to pay the parts store 2.50 more than they would have sold their own filter. So Walmart lost 2.50 on the deal. The oil change took about two hours.
As Kadizzle waited for the oil change he wandered around Walmart watching the poor get fleeced. Flat screen TVs were flying out the store. A victim came up to the counter where Kadizzle was loafing. As the proud new owner of the Black Friday TV paid the cashier, the cashier asked if he wanted the extended 3 year warranty for $36. Consumer Reports has written extensively that these warranties are a rip off. Kadizzle wanted to speak up and warn the guy that it was a total waste of money, but managed to keep quiet.
Cottonwood seems to have an excessive number of dingers with jacked up trucks roaming the streets. By the time you spend the money to jack up your truck, get most of your body tattooed, and buy a new flat screen every year a few inches bigger than the last one, there is no money for a down payment on a house. The most amazing thing about those at the bottom of the economic scale is they could actually vote themselves a raise. They could vote for healthcare, they could vote to have the government take in the money to improve their life, but they will stand in line for Black Friday and they will not stand in line to vote. Well it is not all bad, they can watch anything they want as they slide into a hopeless economic mess. Driving away from Walmart Kadizzle saw an excellent bum. The bum was begging for money holding a sign that said " Ba humbug, I need help". The same bum had a sign the day earlier that said " I too ugly to work as a prostitute, please help." But for God's grace there would I also be".
