Sounds like you are getting some valuable lernin.
There are two groups of people I don't care for in Walmart.
Group 1 is the East Asian families who come in with their full extended family. A couple of women, a couple of men and a half dozen children. This is particularly trouble when they run into another family they know, and mill about talking at major intersections in the store.
Group 2 is far worse. They appear on Single Mother Shopping Day.* This is when a bunch of low class single mothers get together to do their weekly shopping, each with 2 or more children.**
The latter is worse because their grip on their children is far looser.
Realize, I'm often the guy who is pulling skids through the store. Sometimes heavy skids. Sometimes I'm using the power lift. People who can't keep their kids in line at the store irritate me fully. Group 1 is simply better because they don't want their kids running around, but they can't always be controlled. The latter let their kids run around, regardless.
*Not an actual day.
** From multiple fathers, often as not.

I found the most annoying group to be Indian women. I was in the shoe department at Mervyn's when I was in college (you know, before they went under) and every Indian woman in all of Vancouver and Surrey would all drive across the border and invade the Mervyn's shoe department clearance section a half hour before closing. Their tried and true method can only be explained as "throw them on your feet as fast as possible, then take the shoes off and throw them in a heap on the floor, making sure to keep them as far as possible from the box that is now fifteen feet away and also on the floor while making sure that no two matching shoes stay within arm's reach of each other". Then they'd pick up the one pair of $5 leopard print pumps that they were going to buy and leave the store promptly in time for me to have a solid 3 minutes before we closed to clean all that shit up.
I hated working there more than when I worked fast food in high school and that's messed up. And let's face it, hot women do not buy shoes at Mervyn's so I didn't even have that to pass the time. At least when I worked at Sears they had a policy of only hiring ridiculously good looking women.

I hate people who have a crying brat and to make them happy they open a box of cookies or something and let them eat in the store.
That's just wrong. I told a mother of one of these kids that she is breaking walmarts rules. She started yelling at me because I didn't know how hard it was to raise a kid. I told her it was too bad she got pregnant at 15. It would have made her happier if she had decided not to try to be the biggest slut ever. The manager then came over and kicked us both out.
She got to keep the cookies.
