‘Grumpy Old’ Wal-Mart Applicant

Just this morning, I was visiting with a colleague about our evaporating retirement. We both agreed that Wal-Mart may become the new retirement for more and more seniors down the road. That’s why this email that I got this morning was so funny and timely.

Below is an actual job application that this 75-year-old senior citizen submited to a Wal-Mart store in California. They hired him because he was funny.

Quoteworthy: ‘There’s something un-American about that’

It’s time we had a president who understands what it’s like to stand alongside people who have lost their jobs, and walked the picket line with them. Who understands what it’s like to listen to a grown man choke up because he hasn’t just lost his job, he’s lost his pension, he’s lost his healthcare, and he’s trying to figure out how he’s gonna go home that day and explain to his wife and his kids that they’re in trouble and he might not be able to take care of them the way he wants.

There’s something wrong about that. There’s something un-American about that.
