I'll put it in terms a bag boy can understand. You work at Walmart, and are therefore a representative of the company as an employee. You are seen by local people wearing your Walmart uniform on a daily basis. Opinions are formed by perception. If you look like a jack a**, this could be thought that Walmart only hires jack a**es. Being rude to customers turns them away from shopping at your store and hurts your business.

As TR stated, you've got some things to correct. Go hit the books and do some reading.
Stras,

Point well taken,hopefully this young man may get the message..........
