Signs You Might Be in a Bad Neighborhood

When you know after a few trips to the Wal-Mart down the street that when “we have a code 387 south entrance” is screamed over the intercom it means a shoplifter has just left the building. (I have only been to this Wal-Mart three times and everytime before 8 am)

When you are the only white person in the Wal-Mart in a state where 90% of the population is white.

When the checker speaks Spanish to you and wears a pin that says I speak English.

Wal-Mart smells like Curry.

The Salvation Army Santa is inside the building before the check out and has an armed guard.

Over the counter cold medicine is in a locked cage and you have to show ID to get from the pharmacist. And the pharmacist asks why you need it even though your voice sounds like Yoda. And then get IDed again at the check out.

Your place of employment has more cameras than NBC.

You get ID’ed when using a debit card with a pin number.

These are all things I have noticed in the last month while working in the lovely Welfare Valley City.
